The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

CoreAge Rx

Anyone who wants one flat monthly price they can plan a full year around, on either molecule, without signing a contract.

Reasons to consider it

  • 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

What to weigh up

  • Some programs we track publish lower semaglutide prices. Compare billing terms, dose pricing and required fees before choosing.
  • 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
  • All sales are final once medication ships, because state and federal law don't allow medication returns

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Ro

People who want FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound or a GLP-1 pill, help checking insurance coverage, and a membership that handles dose changes and side effects.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name only: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149 a month, the Wegovy pen from $199 and the Zepbound KwikPen from $299
  • Every medication price is published by dose before you sign up, so you can see what the higher doses cost
  • The first month of membership is $39, refunded if you aren't eligible for a GLP-1

What to weigh up

  • Two separate charges: medication is billed apart from the membership, so the Wegovy pen starts at $348 a month all-in on the monthly plan
  • The $199 Wegovy pen price covers only the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses; from 1 mg it is $349, and Zepbound rises to $399 at 5 mg and $449 above that
  • No compounded option, so nothing here costs less than the brand-name cash prices
