Save ~90% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 74 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Alternate Health Club isn't out of it: Someone who wants a named pharmacy accreditation rather than a statute reference.
CoreAge Rx is also our overall #1 pick across the whole deals ranking — a flat, all-in price on both molecules in all 50 states. That's why it wins here on the score, not just this matchup.

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
Alternate Health Club
Alternate Health Club is a telehealth platform displaying a LegitScript certification badge on its own site selling compounded GLP-1 plans from $129 a month, dispensed by NABP-accredited state-licensed pharmacy partners.
Why it's a deal
- Names a real accreditation — NABP — held by its state-licensed pharmacy partners, rather than citing section 503A as though it were a credential
- States on the same page that compounded medications are not FDA-approved, instead of burying it
- LegitScript verified, with GLP-1 plans from $129 and a separate longevity line priced openly
- Every prescription follows an individual medical review
The fine print
- The parent company and state of incorporation are not disclosed anywhere
- Per-state availability is not listed, so shipping eligibility has to be confirmed before checkout
- The $129 is a starting figure and the site does not publish what higher doses cost
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name route
