CoreAge Rx
94/100Where the value is
- One price at every dose: semaglutide is $99 from 0.25 mg up to 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide is $149 from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg
- No membership fee, no insurance needed and no long-term contract, and the price you lock in at checkout stays put as your dose rises
- If the doctor decides a prescription isn't right for you, CoreAge refunds the medication portion of your payment
The tradeoffs
- Not the lowest price around: 35 of the 434 priced semaglutide programs we track list a cheaper figure, though most attach a term or a step-up that CoreAge does not
- You pay before the doctor reviews your case, and if you aren't approved the FAQ promises a 100% refund while the refund policy keeps a $50 to $100 consultation fee
Lose It!
41/100Where the value is
- Free sign-up for calorie, macro and water tracking
- Barcode scanning and photo logging speed up food entries
- Connects with Apple Health and Google Fit
The tradeoffs
- It doesn't prescribe or sell semaglutide, tirzepatide or any GLP-1 medication
- It's a tracking app, not a medical service
