Visit Alan MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Alan Meds on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 55 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Alan Meds is still a genuine option — a broader Alan Health platform offering both compounded and FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s — compounded semaglutide standing at $315/mo (currently discounted to $158/mo under an active BOGO promotion) and tirzepatide at $325/mo on a 6-month plan — though state coverage isn't published. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Alan Meds
Ranked #65 · Grade C
What we like
- Offers both compounded and FDA-approved brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) options on the same platform
- Currently running an active Buy-1-Get-1-Free promotion that meaningfully lowers the effective compounded price
- Broader wellness menu (longevity, hair, skin, menopause, blood testing) under one account
The caveats
- No state-coverage list published on the pages checked
- The advertised headline price is a limited-time promotion, not the standing rate
- Tirzepatide's disclosed rate requires a 6-month prepay commitment; no month-to-month price was found
