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)
FlyteHealth
44/100Where the value is
- Backed by named enterprise broker partners (Mercer, Aon, WTW, Gallagher)
- Publishes clinical outcome data (avg. 15% weight loss at 24 months)
- Combines GLP-1 and non-GLP-1 treatment pathways
The tradeoffs
- No direct-to-consumer signup or individual pricing -- access requires an employer sponsor
- No named medical director, pharmacy partner, or LegitScript badge found
