CoreAge Rx
Rank #31 · Grade C
What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose
- The offer includes medication, consultation and shipping, without an advertised membership fee
- The legal footer identifies the platform and the entities responsible for clinical care
The caveats
- The main site and a separate offer page show different prices
- The FAQ and policy differ on automatic rebilling and denial refunds
- State restrictions; orders become final when sent to pharmacy, with a 30-day refund cutoff
Mama-Match
Gala Health
Rank #3 · Grade B
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at a single flat $179/mo, all doses included
- A real low-dose microdose tier (~$149/mo) for a gentler start — uncommon in this market
- Brand-name Ozempic available on the same platform as the compounded options
The caveats
- The $179 headline requires an annual plan — the month-to-month price on its own isn't published
- Partner pharmacies aren't named, just a 'pharmacy network'
- State availability sits behind the intake, so the 50-state claim isn't verified up front
