CoreAge Rx
94/100Where the value is
- Flat all-in monthly price — no intro rate that silently triples after month one, so the modeled annual cost is the real cost
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account at published prices
- Available in all 50 states — no coverage gamble
The tradeoffs
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — 30 of the 371 priced semaglutide programs we track list a cheaper figure, though most attach a term or a step-up that CoreAge does not
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
Trimi Health
78/100Where the value is
- Publishes every term rung openly — annual, six-month, quarterly and monthly are all priced on the page rather than revealed at checkout
- Price is flat at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Both molecules available on one account, nationwide, with no enrollment or consultation fee
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $99 and $125 rates require a full year paid up front; month-to-month costs $175 and $235, a 77% and 88% premium
- No public LegitScript certification, so pharmacy oversight is harder to independently verify
