Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 86/100 (grade A vs B). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Sprout Health still earns its place — patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.

Sprout Health
What we like
- LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
- Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
- Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
- No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
- Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
- "No labs, no visit" convenience also means lighter clinical oversight
CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Also worth a look
Patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.
