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
Wholesome Clinic
Wholesome Clinic is a Frisco, Texas integrative-psychiatry and wellness practice offering medical weight loss via telehealth across seven states.
Why it's a deal
- Publishes standing per-dose self-pay prices for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, oral and injectable
- Compounded semaglutide from $109/mo (oral) or $149/mo (injectable); brand Wegovy/Zepbound offered when appropriate
- Telehealth across seven states plus an in-person option at its Frisco, TX office
The fine print
- $149 initial evaluation and $75 follow-up visits are billed separately from medication
- Filled through your 'preferred pharmacy' — no single named compounding pharmacy partner
- No LegitScript certification displayed
