CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 63 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. TeleZen MD isn't out of it: Someone who wants nationwide coverage and the pharmacy type stated before ordering.
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
TeleZen MD
TeleZen MD is a fully online US telehealth service covering all 50 states, dispensing compounded GLP-1s through 503A and 503B pharmacies with free expedited delivery and 24/7 support.
Why it's a deal
- Serves all 50 states, stated plainly in its own FAQ rather than implied
- Partners exclusively with US-based 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies and says so, naming the standard rather than just "licensed"
- FSA and HSA eligible, with free discreet US shipping and unlimited 24/7 support included
- One of the larger operators here by its own count, citing more than 100,000 members
The fine print
- The partner pharmacies are described by category but never named
- The advertised entry price assumes a WELCOME100 promotional code, so it is a first-order figure rather than an ongoing rate
- No legal entity name or state of incorporation is disclosed
- Brand-name medication is not addressed on the homepage, so the compounded route is the only one visible
