CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 68 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Alegro Health isn't out of it: Someone who wants to try eight weeks at a fixed cost before committing to anything.

Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
CoreAge Rx
The honest lowest price: both molecules at one flat, all-in monthly rate that never steps up after month one.
Why it's a deal
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation — no lock-in
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of teaser tiers advertise lower month-one rates
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Alegro Health
Alegro Health is a McKinney, Texas telehealth practice selling one product: a $199 eight-week compounded semaglutide starter with B12, available in unnamed select states.
Why it's a deal
- One product at one published price, with no plan ladder or dose tiers to work through
- Eight weeks for $199 works out near $100 a month, which is at the low end of everything tracked here
- The semaglutide is compounded with B12 rather than sold bare, and the site says so
- A HIPAA-compliant practice with a named base in McKinney, Texas rather than an anonymous storefront
The fine print
- The $199 buys eight weeks, not a month, and the site does not publish what continuing past the starter costs
- Semaglutide only — no tirzepatide on offer at all
- Sold in "select states" that are never enumerated, so eligibility is unknown until you apply
- Thin public information, and the compounding pharmacy is not named
