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
Mint Med
Low flat pricing — $117 sema, $159 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 36 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $117 semaglutide and a cheap $159 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Flat pricing on both molecules
The fine print
- Covers 36 states, not the full 50
