Pros & Cons

PrescrYbe

What we like

  • Five GLP-1 tiers including an oral semaglutide option and $179 microdosing for both drugs
  • Billing cadence is printed on the product card — most sites hide the 4-week cycle
  • Price shown before you start intake, not after
  • Consultation, medication and shipping bundled into one cash-pay price
  • Full refund if a provider finds you ineligible: "If you don't qualify, you don't pay"

Watch-outs

  • Charged every 4 weeks, so a year costs 13 payments, not 12 — $3,237/yr on semaglutide, not $2,988
  • Neither the prescribing medical group nor the pharmacy partner is named anywhere in the terms
  • No published state list — terms say only that some services may not be available in all states
  • Cancellation is by email to care@prescrybe.health; no self-serve cancel is documented
  • No support phone number published
  • Compounded only, and the terms confirm compounded drugs are not FDA approved

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
