Good Life Meds is still a genuine option — a straightforward pay-as-you-go option: compounded semaglutide at $199 a month and tirzepatide at $297, the same at every dose, with the medication, provider visit and expedited shipping included and no membership. The $99 and $149 first-order prices are promotions, and the site says so. There is also a twice-weekly microdose program at $149, and the Wegovy pill from $149 a month, which does add a $74 membership. One thing to know: once a provider starts reviewing your first order, it cannot be canceled, though you can stop refills any time after that. It serves all 50 states and does not need insurance.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · 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
Good Life Meds
Editors' Rating 62/100 · Grade C
What we like
- One monthly price with medication, visit and shipping included, and no membership on compounded plans
- The same price at every dose
- Clearly labels its first-order prices as promotions
The caveats
- The first order cannot be canceled once a provider starts reviewing it
- Tirzepatide at $297 a month sits at the higher end for compounded
- The Wegovy pill adds a $74 membership on top of the pill price
