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 381 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)
WePeptideRx
50/100Where the value is
- Full dose-by-dose price ladder published with no signup required — 5 tiers for semaglutide, 6 for tirzepatide, each with exact mg dose and matching monthly cost
- Genuinely all-in pricing — consultation, medication, and shipping in one number, no separate visit fee
- Named Medical Director, Hridyesh Nat, MD — a real correction to the current record, which lists this as undisclosed
The tradeoffs
- The lowest advertised monthly rate ($166-176 effective) is NOT the month-to-month price — it requires prepaying a 3-month, $499-529 lump sum
- Pharmacy partner is not named on the pricing page
