Save ~85% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 73 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. TOM Weight Loss isn't out of it: Someone in Texas or Utah who wants one named doctor rather than a provider network.
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
TOM Weight Loss
TOM Weight Loss is a two-state clinic run by a triple board-certified physician, charging $199 a month for compounded semaglutide at any dose up to 2.4 mg a week, with tirzepatide from $249.
Why it's a deal
- The $199 membership covers compounded semaglutide at any dose up to 2.4 mg a week, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Run by a single triple board-certified physician who caps the practice at 500 patients, rather than routing you to whichever clinician is free
- Cancel whenever, with dose changes handled as you go and 24/7 support included
- Points Medicare members at a separate $50-a-month copay route rather than selling them the cash program
- Offers an a la carte option for brand-name medication for anyone who wants it
The fine print
- Licensed in Texas and Utah only — this is not available to most of the country
- The 500-patient cap that makes the care personal also means access is limited and may close
- No compounding pharmacy partner is named
- Cash-pay only for the compounded program; no insurance is accepted
