CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 81 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Curex isn't out of it: Someone who wants an oral tablet with no membership fee and will check their own state first.
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
Curex
Curex is primarily an allergy-immunotherapy company that also runs a GLP-1 line, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections or oral tablets from $199 a month with no membership fee.
Why it's a deal
- No membership fee at all — the medication price is the whole price, and free shipping is included
- Both molecules offered as injections or once-daily oral dissolving tablets
- States plainly that it does not prescribe Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound or Mounjaro, rather than blurring compounded and brand
- Offers a full refund if you are not prescribed, so the money is not at risk before a clinician has looked
- Audited and certified by LegitScript
The fine print
- The GLP-1 page runs a countdown timer against a "Summer Sale", which manufactures a deadline that has nothing to do with the price
- The $49 and $149 figures on that page are first-month prices; the standing rate is $199
- The page badges "50 States served" while our own check found it unavailable in Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Missouri — confirm your state directly
- The primary business is allergy immunotherapy, so the GLP-1 line is a second product rather than the specialism
