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
Rehydra+ Wellness
64/100Where the value is
- Four-week supply packs are one-time purchases, so you can buy a month of treatment without a subscription
- Prices for every dose and for four-, eight- and twelve-week supplies are shown on the product pages before you start
- The membership page prints the six-month, non-cancelable term right beside each membership price
The tradeoffs
- Every semaglutide and tirzepatide membership, from $119 and $169 a month, is a six-month contract the site calls non-cancelable
- Supply-pack prices climb steeply with dose: tirzepatide reaches $649 for four weeks at 15 mg
