CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 76 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Idgie Health isn't out of it: Someone who wants the whole ladder in the open and will ask about the membership in writing first.

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
Idgie Health
Publishes the amount billed today at every rung and names its 503A class — beside a Membership Fee that lives only in the Terms.
Why it's a deal
- Every rung carries the figure billed today — $387 at three months, $687 at six on semaglutide — not just a per-month number
- States the pharmacy class plainly: prescriptions ship from a licensed U.S. 503A pharmacy
- Names its operating entity, Feel Better Health Group, LLC, in the page footer rather than only in the Terms
- An oral semaglutide and two microdose lines sit beside the injection
The fine print
- Both headlines are the six-month prepay
- The Terms describe a recurring Membership Fee and exclude the online visit and labs from it, while the pricing page never uses the word
- The Terms name two different pharmacy networks without dividing the work between them
- The semaglutide card says "all doses"; the tirzepatide card does not
