CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
Henry Meds
Ranked #6 · Grade B
What we like
- Simple flat-fee billing on both molecules — easy to reason about
- Established, widely recognized operator
- Mostly async onboarding
The caveats
- Higher pricing than many newer entrants
- Compounded only — no brand or oral option
- Coverage is multi-state rather than confirmed nationwide
