Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Calibrate | CoreAge Rx |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Coaching-heavy, behavior-change-first program | Shoppers who specifically want a program that states its price does not rise as the GLP-1 dose escalates — CoreAge makes that claim explicitly in its own FAQ |
| Medication type | Brand-name GLP-1 paired with coaching | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (once-weekly injection), plus separate 'Micro Dosing' semaglutide and tirzepatide products; alongside sermorelin, NAD+ injectable and NAD+ nasal spray, an ED product ('4Play'), a five-product compounded skin line and four non-prescription supplements. |
| Pricing model | Annual or recurring program fee | Cash-pay, sold as one-time purchases with a refill plan ladder of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months; per CoreAge's own refund policy 'The longer the plan you choose, the lower your per-month cost' and the 12-month plan 'is our best per-month price'. CoreAge states the price does NOT change as the dose escalates. The only figures it publishes anywhere are 'starting at' / 'from' entry figures, and its affiliate landing page discloses those figures are 'based on a 12-month plan paid in full' — the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month per-month prices are never published. Its own homepage additionally shows a THIRD, conflicting GLP-1 figure in the same section. No single defensible ongoing price exists on the public site, so we publish no CoreAge Rx price at all rather than repeat one of its own conflicting figures. |
| Semaglutide price | Membership $199/mo (3-month commitment); medication via insurance, copays ≤$25/mo | Compounded, advertised 'Start with Semaglutide from $99/mo' with the bullet 'Same price at every dose' (www.coreagerx.com homepage) and 'Starting at $99 per month' (www.coreagerx.com/product/semaglutide/). The SAME homepage section introduces compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide 'from $199/mo'. Per the affiliate landing page's own fine print, 'Prices shown are starting at, based on a 12-month plan paid in full.' No month-to-month rate is published — confirm at enrollment. Read 2026-08-08. |
| Tirzepatide price | Membership $199/mo (3-month commitment); medication via insurance, copays ≤$25/mo | Compounded, advertised 'Start with Tirzepatide from $149/mo' with the bullet 'Same price at every dose' (www.coreagerx.com homepage) and 'Starting at $149/mo' (product cards). The SAME homepage section introduces compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide 'from $199/mo'. Per the affiliate landing page's own fine print, 'Prices shown are starting at, based on a 12-month plan paid in full.' No month-to-month rate is published — confirm at enrollment. Read 2026-08-08. |
| Key watchout | Higher overall cost, best when you'll use the coaching | CoreAge Rx's dose claim and its price claim have to be judged separately. Its FAQ states that “all doses cost the same”, which is unusual and worth quoting, but we have not confirmed it: CoreAge publishes no per-dose price ladder to check it against. The price LEVEL is not verifiable at all. Every figure CoreAge advertises is a “starting at” floor, and its own affiliate landing page discloses in fine print that “Prices shown are starting at, based on a 12-month plan paid in full”, so the advertised monthly figures are a one-year prepay rate and the 1-, 3- and 6-month plan prices are never published anywhere. Its own homepage shows three different GLP-1 entry figures inside a single section. Its refund policy promises a full refund if a provider finds you ineligible while also making the $50–$100 consultation fee non-refundable “even if… Your prescription is not approved”, and it imposes an early-cancellation repricing penalty on the 6- and 12-month plans the advertised rates depend on. No dispensing pharmacy is named and no 503A/503B status is stated |

Are Calibrate and CoreAge Rx compounded or brand-name?
Calibrate offers brand-name glp-1 paired with coaching.
