Pros & Cons

Alloy

What we like

  • Broadest GLP-1 formulary here: brand Wegovy and Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
  • All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — a rare credential
  • STARTGLP1 promo code takes $50 off the first month
  • Spans the price range: compounded semaglutide from $70/mo, brand Wegovy from $199/mo (each plus the $99/mo Weight Care fee)

Watch-outs

  • Menopause-focused — best for women in menopause or perimenopause, not men or younger patients
  • A mandatory $99/mo Alloy Weight Care fee sits on top of every medication price (so the true minimum is ~$169/mo, not $70)
  • Compounded semaglutide not available in AL, AR, CA, NV, LA, MS or DC

CoreAge Rx

What we like

  • LegitScript certified — rigorous pharmacy standards
  • Free 2-day shipping nationwide
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
  • Lowest per-month pricing in the compounded segment
  • 24/7 support team
  • All 50 states covered

Watch-outs

  • Compounded only — no brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
  • Newer brand with fewer independent reviews than legacy players
