CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 63 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. WeightCare isn't out of it: Nobody who wants to know they qualify before paying.
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
WeightCare
WeightCare is a compounded-GLP-1 subscription that takes payment for the first month before the health questionnaire, then has a board-certified physician review it, with renewals at $499 a month or cheaper multi-month blocks.
Why it's a deal
- The program price covers the subscription, a same-day telehealth visit with a board-certified physician, the prescription and the medication rather than billing them separately
- Longer blocks genuinely lower the per-month figure — $997 for three months at 7.5 mg a week works out near $332
- Ongoing check-ins and secure messaging with the prescriber are included
- Dispensed by an FDA-registered, PCAB-accredited pharmacy
The fine print
- You pay for the first month BEFORE answering any health questions — the site's own step two — so the money goes out before a physician has seen whether you qualify
- The monthly renewal is $499, which is the highest ongoing rate tracked here outside brand-name programs
- The price is tiered by dose as well as term: three months at 7.5 mg a week is $997, but at up to 15 mg it is $1,350
- The cheapest per-month figures need three or six months bought as a block — $2,150 up front for the six-month high-dose option
- No LegitScript certification on the site, and the states served are not listed
