Save ~87% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 63 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Nurx isn't out of it: Someone with insurance that might cover weight management, who would rather bill a plan than pay cash.
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
Nurx
Nurx is an established telehealth brand, best known for birth control, that also runs a weight-management program billed monthly or quarterly and works with insurance where a plan will cover it.
Why it's a deal
- One of the longer-established names here, with a weight program sitting inside a wider practice rather than a single-product storefront
- Works with insurance where a plan covers weight management, which most compounded sellers do not attempt
- Medication is shipped and billed on either a monthly or a quarterly cycle, so the billing shape is a choice
- Pause or cancel at any time rather than a fixed plan term
The fine print
- The medication price is not published - the site leads with an insurance outcome, "as low as $0", which tells a cash payer nothing
- Fees stack on top of the medication: Nurx's own terms name a consultation charge, a periodic support fee and a monthly care fee on certain services
- Not all insurance plans are accepted, and the site says services are not offered in every state without listing which
- The $179 recorded here could not be re-confirmed on the public site, so treat it as indicative rather than quoted
