Ondra Health
90/100Where the value is
- Among the lowest disclosed prices on the board — $93 semaglutide and $166 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states with both molecules published for clean cost modeling
- LegitScript-certified, and offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
The tradeoffs
- A newer, lower-profile operator without CoreAge's long flat-price track record
- No oral/sublingual route
boostAGErx
69/100Where the value is
- Compounded GLP-1 starting around $95/mo (12-month plan paid upfront)
- Free shipping and clinical evaluation included
- Membership fee refunded in full if you're not approved
The tradeoffs
- Billing runs on a 28-day cycle rather than a calendar month — thirteen charges a year, so the $145 tirzepatide rate is $1,885 a year, an effective $157/mo
- The terms call the charge a 'membership fee' while the marketing carousel says 'No Membership Fees Ever'
