Save ~79% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 58 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. QuickMD isn't out of it: Someone who wants a fast same-day appointment and will source the medication separately.
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
QuickMD
QuickMD is a high-volume telemedicine platform with more than 1.5 million completed visits, staffed by US board-certified doctors and LegitScript certified, offering same-day weight-management appointments.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript certified and staffed by US board-certified physicians, both stated on its own site
- More than 1.5 million patient visits completed, which is the largest volume claim tracked here
- Same-day online appointments rather than a multi-day intake queue
- An oral route is available as well as injections
The fine print
- The medication is not bundled — the cost varies by whichever pharmacy fills the prescription, so the advertised figure is not what you end up paying in total
- Available in 45-plus states rather than all 50, and the excluded ones are not listed
- Does not accept insurance
- No individual board-certified physicians are named publicly
