CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 77 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Mondae isn't out of it: Price-led shoppers who will count thirteen charges a year rather than twelve, and who want the prepay saving quantified before committing to it.
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.

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
Mondae
Compounded semaglutide at $87 and tirzepatide at $126 for every twenty-eight days — two of the cheapest published figures on this site, advertised as $75 and $124, which are the three-month prepay rates.
Why it's a deal
- The month-to-month figures are among the lowest published anywhere on this site: $87 for compounded semaglutide and $126 for tirzepatide, both visible before any intake
- The full comparison sits on one control: monthly and three-month rates side by side with the plan total attached, so the commitment can be priced rather than guessed
- The billing cadence is stated plainly in the signup — shipped and billed every twenty-eight days — rather than being left for a card statement to reveal
- Cancellation is from the portal or by contacting support with no cancellation fee, and the one real limitation is stated up front: an order the pharmacy has already shipped cannot be recalled
- A legal entity and a mailing address are published, support hours are stated with a time zone, and installment payment options are offered on the longer plans
- Side products are priced openly on the same page, so the GLP-1 figures sit in a visible context rather than alone
The fine print
- The advertised figures are prepay rates. "From $75/mo" and "from $124/mo" require a three-month plan billed at $225 and $372; the month-to-month rates are $87 and $126
- A month is twenty-eight days, so a year is thirteen charges: about $1,131 rather than $1,044 on semaglutide and $1,638 rather than $1,512 on tirzepatide, and the site prints "per month" throughout
- The prepay discount is 13.8 percent on one molecule and 2 percent on the other, and the site never states either — so the three-month tirzepatide plan gives up flexibility for almost nothing
- The hero says prices start from $87 above a grid whose lowest figure is $63, and the side-product rows are labeled billed monthly under what are three-month rates
- No pharmacy is named for either GLP-1. A single name appears on the side-product pages as a one-option picker, with no legal entity, no state and no 503A or 503B designation, and the GLP-1 pages name nobody at all
- No clinician, medical group or identifier is published anywhere
- "Cancel anytime" sits beside terms saying charges are not refundable in whole or in part and that an order can only be canceled before dispensing — on a three-month prepay that is one charge covering twelve weeks
- The refund policy says consultation fees are not refundable even where no medication is prescribed, while the marketing says nothing is charged unless a prescription is written
