CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 76 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Trellis Vitality isn't out of it: Shoppers who want a flat month-to-month rate with no step-up and will ask, in writing, what the figure covers before starting.
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.

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
Trellis Vitality
Compounded semaglutide at $150 and tirzepatide at $199 a month, flat at every dose with the month-to-month rate printed first — on a page that never says what the figure includes and beside two fees the marketing does not mention.
Why it's a deal
- The price is flat at every dose and the month-to-month rate is the first column of the grid rather than the last, so the number a shopper reads first is the number they will keep paying
- The whole grid sits on the product page before any intake: $150, $140 and $133 on semaglutide and $199, $189 and $179 on tirzepatide, with the plan lengths labeled
- The dispensing pharmacy is named with a street address, and the designated medical group is named with two physicians, one of whom has an identifier that can be checked against a federal registry
- The GLP-1 page's own questions name three states where the program is suppressed, which is a narrower and more useful statement than the all-fifty banner above it
- Side treatments are priced openly on the same page basis, so the GLP-1 figures can be read in context
- Support hours are published with a time zone rather than left as a promise of constant availability
The fine print
- The three- and six-month columns publish a per-month figure with no plan total and no stated billing frequency, so whether those plans are billed once or monthly, and for how much, appears on no page
- Two fees exist that the marketing site never mentions: $15 for an additional consultation or lab interpretation and $125 for an additional at-home blood draw, both after the eighth, charged to the card on file — while the homepage says there are no consultation costs
- The price grid itemizes nothing. The words included and membership do not appear on that page at all, so what $150 buys is unstated, and a lab kit described as part of the program is never priced and never said to be covered
- The site-wide banner and the terms claim all fifty states while the GLP-1 page's own questions say the program is not offered in every state and name three where it is suppressed "at minimum", with no full list
- The terms a patient accepts at the signup are unedited platform boilerplate: they name a different professional entity twenty-five times, never mention the medical group or the pharmacy the marketing site names, and impose a membership fee the marketing site says does not exist
- Those same signup terms carry fourteen unfilled placeholders where the customer service phone number, email address and mailing address belong — including inside the sentence telling a patient how to cancel
- The refund rules differ between the two terms documents with no clause saying which takes precedence
- A banner on every page promises patient care around the clock while the support page publishes weekday hours, email only, with no phone number anywhere on the site
- No 503A or 503B designation appears across seventeen marketing pages
