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.

RxPepsDirect

Cost-first shoppers who want the all-in per-order cost of a compounded GLP-1 with no subscription, in 28 states.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every component of the price is published on the site — the vial tiers, the flat visit charge and the flat overnight delivery — so the all-in monthly cost can be worked out before ordering
  • No subscription and no commitment: you pay per order, and one visit charge covers up to three peptides on the same prescription
  • Real 503A telehealth Rx — licensed NP/PA prescribers under medical director Dr. Jonathan Snipes (NPI 1821250077), dispensed by Optimal Balance Pharmacy, Texas State Board of Pharmacy license #34829

What to weigh up

  • The advertised vial price is not the monthly cost: a flat $39 medical visit charge and $15 flat FedEx shipping land on every order, and the visit charge recurs on every reorder rather than once
  • The figure above is the starter vial; the published dose ladder climbs month by month, to $108.64 for a month-six semaglutide vial before the visit charge and shipping
  • Minimal clinical oversight: a roughly two-minute asynchronous intake, no live video consult, no labs required and no published dose-escalation monitoring

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