The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 75 — an est. $149/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Wisp isn't out of it: Shoppers who want branded injectables plus a sublingual semaglutide alternative.

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
Wisp
Wisp (hellowisp.com) is a US telehealth provider whose weight care vertical offers brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, and Saxenda alongside a compounded sublingual semaglutide drops formulation at $225/month.
Why it's a deal
- Broad GLP-1 menu — branded injectables (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) plus a compounded sublingual option
- LegitScript certified with named board-certified providers (Dr. Shannon Chatham DO, Andrea Sleeth WHNP-BC)
- Unusually candid about the sublingual option's limits, noting effectiveness in patients may vary
The fine print
- Sublingual compounded semaglutide hasn't been tested in humans, per Wisp's own page — only the injectables have FDA efficacy data
- Pharmacy partners not named
- States served not listed publicly
