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
AskRx
AskRx is a US telehealth platform whose board-certified physicians exclusively prescribe FDA-approved, brand-name GLP-1 medications for weight loss - no compounded drugs.
Why it's a deal
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s, no compounded drugs
- LegitScript approved and HIPAA compliant
- Board-certified physicians trained in obesity medicine
- Transparent dose-based pricing published on site
- Available in all 50 states
The fine print
- Cash-pay model; medication cost billed separately by the pharmacy

- No compounded lower-cost alternative offered
- Specific list of supported states is not published
