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

SkinnyRx

Shoppers who want a cheap first month to see how they tolerate a GLP-1, and who will budget for the price from month two.

Reasons to consider it

  • The first month of either injection is $99, so trying the medication costs little
  • Prepaid plans lower the price: semaglutide renews at $225 a month on four months, $215 on six and $199 on twelve
  • Both compounded molecules come as a weekly injection or a daily tablet

What to weigh up

  • From month two the injection is $249 for semaglutide or $299 for tirzepatide, well above the $99 you see first
  • An FDA warning letter is on public record against Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, issued February 2026
  • Brand-name drugs appear in its catalog, but the Wegovy pill is listed as unavailable

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026. We still list and link to SkinnyRx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
