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
Trillium Meds
Trillium Meds is a small, owner-operated telehealth platform based in Portland, OR that connects patients with independent licensed providers and FDA-registered compounding pharmacies for compounded…
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript certified with an active seal; serves all 50 states plus Puerto Rico with no geographic restrictions
- All-inclusive pricing covers medication, provider consultation, and shipping with no hidden fees or add-ons
- Two pharmacy options (BPI Labs with B6, ProRx) and three plan structures: 1-month, 3-month fixed, or 3-month titrated
- Small owner-operated; founder personally handles customer support outside business hours for direct, responsive service
- Klarna and Affirm financing available; pause anytime with no long-term commitment required
The fine print
- No labs, coaching, or clinical monitoring included — telehealth Rx and pharmacy fulfillment only
- Small single-operator platform may limit capacity and support consistency as patient volume grows
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; newer platform with limited long-term public track record
- Tirzepatide from $199/mo (3-mo plan) is mid-market; sema from $119/mo competitive but not lowest available
- No live video consult disclosed; async intake-form-based provider review by external licensed provider network
