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
Sunlight
Sunlight sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections, with its FAQ quoting flat rates of $88 and $157 while its product cards start both at $179.
Why it's a deal
- One of the lowest flat compounded prices in this ranking — $88/mo semaglutide, $157/mo tirzepatide — with no published month-one teaser distinct from the ongoing rate
- Names six compounding pharmacy partners by name (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx, The Pharmacy Hub, Foothills Pharmacy) rather than an unnamed "licensed U.S. pharmacy"
- LegitScript-certified with a named medical team (Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr, MD) and a BBB profile
- Flat monthly rate bundles the prescription, unlimited telehealth, a fresh 4-week supply, and free 1–2 day shipping — no separate membership fee
The fine print
- Three different prices appear on the same site: $88 and $157 in the FAQ, $179 for both on the product cards, and a promotional $88 elsewhere
- The promotion anchors semaglutide as "Reg $1196" reduced to $88 - a regular price close to the brand-name cash reference, for a compounded product
- The storefront runs "Summer Promo" and "Only Spots Left" urgency messaging beside the price
- Injection only - one hero bullet claims "oral options available," but the site's own FAQ and medication list say otherwise, and the oral semaglutide page that bullet points at does not exist
