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

VigorMeds

Shoppers who want a needle-free sublingual GLP-1 that costs meaningfully less than the injectable, from named physicians.

Reasons to consider it

  • Both injectable and needle-free sublingual forms of semaglutide ($139/mo) and tirzepatide ($159/mo) — the sublingual tier is $60-$140/mo cheaper than the injectable tier
  • Named, credentialed clinicians reviewing cases: Dr. Anthony Kane MD, Dr. Claudia Mondragon MD, Dr. Kevin Kargman MD, Stephanie Kowatch MSN FNP-C
  • 'Pay upon medical approval' — no charge until a provider signs off on treatment, plus a 30-day satisfaction guarantee

What to weigh up

  • Its 'States We Serve' page names no actual states, only vague buckets like 'Coming soon' and 'Room to grow', so confirm yours before you start
  • The FIRST100 promo code discounts whichever tier is chosen by $100 for the first month, so the price shown at signup is not the ongoing rate
  • No compounding pharmacy is named; prescribing is routed through OLA Health LLC and unnamed independent providers
