About Science & Co
Science & Co is a cash-pay telehealth service selling compounded semaglutide from $89/mo and compounded tirzepatide from $139/mo month-to-month, flat at every dose, with free overnight shipping and no membership fee. Those are among the lowest month-to-month GLP-1 rates we track, but the marketing site quotes only '$2 a day' and a 12-month rate buried in a collapsed FAQ; the plan table with the real month-to-month price appears only after you hand over your name, email, phone and state.

Science & Co
What we like
- $89/mo month-to-month for compounded semaglutide is at the bottom of the range we track
- Flat at every dose — 'You pay the same whether you are on your starting dose or your highest one'
- Free overnight shipping, no membership fee and no consultation fee
- Prepay tiers are cheaper per month and are shown side by side with the monthly rate, not instead of it
- Published phone line and email, both staffed as 24/7 messaging with the care team
- HSA and FSA eligible
- Cancel any time before the next renewal from the patient portal
Watch-outs
- The marketing site quotes only a per-day figure and the 12-month rate; the plan table appears only after you give your name, email, phone and state
- Trustpilot has removed this company's profile as against its guidelines, while the site advertises '4.8 · 1,200+ member reviews'
- The LegitScript badge is a self-hosted image on the company's own CDN, not a LegitScript-served seal, and its lookup shows no record
- The monthly plan 'renews every 30 days' — 13 charges in a year, not 12
- The advertised '$79 a month' is the 12-month tier: a single $948 charge up front
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the company states it is 'not a 503A or 503B compounding facility'
- Marketing consent to email and text arrives pre-checked on the contact step
- Named before/after testimonials repeat across pages, and the '15% lost on average' figure is labeled illustrative
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
