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
Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL)
A fully online, physician-supervised program from an established clinical brand, priced the same at any dose, with the membership and shipping folded into the price rather than billed beside it.
Why it's a deal
- Flat any-dose pricing - the site says "Same price for ANY dose", so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Competitive rates on both molecules, from around $116/mo semaglutide and $159/mo tirzepatide depending on the plan you choose
- The membership itself is $0 and shipping is complimentary, so the quoted price is the price
- Pause or cancel at any time, described on its own site as no lock-in and no penalty - unusually plain for this market
- An established Center for Medical Weight Loss brand with physician supervision, 24-hour approvals, and behavioral coaching, nutrition and mindset guidance included
- States on its own site that compounded medication has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
The fine print
- The lowest per-month prices require a three-month prepaid commitment, so the headline number and the month-to-month number are not the same thing
- Some states are ineligible and the eligible-state list is not published - the site talks about shipping to all 50 states, which is not the same claim
- The compounding pharmacy is not named publicly
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved
