CoreAge Rx
94/100Where the value is
- Flat all-in monthly price — no intro rate that silently triples after month one, so the modeled annual cost is the real cost
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account at published prices
- Available in all 50 states — no coverage gamble
The tradeoffs
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — 30 of the 381 priced semaglutide programs we track list a cheaper figure, though most attach a term or a step-up that CoreAge does not
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
Corsica Health
66/100Where the value is
- Publishes real starting dollar prices for THREE tiers on one page — compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and brand-name Ozempic/Wegovy — a genuine transparency advantage few competitors offer at once
- Compounded semaglutide's starting price fell from $199/mo to $149/mo since a prior 2026-07-20 check — a real, verifiable decrease
- Free shipping and provider consultation included in the listed starting price
The tradeoffs
- Listed prices are floor figures for the lowest dose tier only — no published ladder for what higher, titrated doses cost
- The '15-20% average weight change' and '4.8/5 satisfaction' figures are the company's own self-reported claims, not independently sourced
