The verdict

Higher Editors' Rating: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx edges out Strut Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 73 (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.

Strut Health is still a genuine option — some of the lowest compounded pricing on this masthead, oral or injectable — filed, like Direct Meds, with a caveat we won't bury: a February 2026 FDA warning letter for misbranding. The prices are real; so is the regulatory flag. 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

Strut Health

Ranked #14 · Grade C

What we like

  • Low flat-rate pricing, oral or injectable, on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
  • Physician-owned (founder Simal Patel, MD), with free follow-up care included
  • Under-the-tongue lozenge options for a needle-averse start

The caveats

  • February 2026 FDA warning letter for misbranding compounded GLP-1 products
  • Named pharmacy partners and the exact state list aren't disclosed publicly
  • The lowest prices require enrolling in auto-refill; standard prices are less clear

We may earn a referral fee if you sign up through a link on this page, at no extra cost to you — and it has no bearing on which provider scores higher. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the methodology.
