Two providers that both hold one price at any dose and both refund you if declined. One is $83 a month cheaper.

The verdict
These agree on almost every principle: one price for any dose, no membership, no auto-billing, full refund if a clinician does not approve you. SkinnyVIP delivers it as a $695 three-month plan — about $232 a month — from a veteran-owned Miami medical practice that answers its own messages. CoreAge Rx delivers it at $129 on a 12-month plan with no plan to buy at all. The price gap decides it for most people, and SkinnyVIP's competitor comparison table cites figures for rivals that do not match our own verification.
Choose CoreAge Rx if
You want the lowest flat tirzepatide price and semaglutide available too.
Choose SkinnyVIP if

SkinnyVIP is the closest thing in this market to CoreAge Rx's philosophy, executed by a small practice rather than a platform — and priced accordingly.
Both refuse dose-based pricing, refuse memberships, refuse auto-billing, and refund you if a clinician declines to prescribe. Those four commitments together put them ahead of most of this category.
The difference is $83 a month. SkinnyVIP sells a $695 three-month plan, about $232 a month for any dose. CoreAge Rx charges $129 with nothing to buy in blocks and semaglutide available at $79, which SkinnyVIP does not offer at all.
What SkinnyVIP offers that CoreAge Rx does not
Transparency about itself. It states it is a Miami-based medical practice founded and majority-owned by a US military veteran with an SBA VetCert application in process, with patient operations led by a women-led team, and that it answers its own messages rather than outsourcing support. It also states explicitly that it is not a venture-backed telehealth machine.
For readers who want to know who they are buying from, that is worth something — and CoreAge Rx publishes nothing comparable about its ownership or operations.
Its competitor table is the weak point
One claim in that table is consistent with what we have seen elsewhere and worth keeping: that Hims and Ro Body both discontinued compounded tirzepatide across 2025–26, with Ro moving to branded Zepbound.
Neither provider names its compounding pharmacy, which for a product FDA does not evaluate remains the most consequential shared gap. Ondra Health and Precision Telemed both do.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, CoreAge Rx or SkinnyVIP?
CoreAge Rx, at $129 a month against SkinnyVIP's $232 — $695 for a three-month plan. CoreAge Rx also offers semaglutide at $79, which SkinnyVIP does not carry.
Do both refund you if declined?
Yes. SkinnyVIP states you only pay if a clinician approves treatment; CoreAge Rx charges first and issues an automatic full refund if the prescription is not approved.
Is SkinnyVIP's competitor comparison reliable?
Not entirely. It lists Mochi at $278/month where we verified $169 combined, and cites a Henry Meds figure Henry does not publish. Treat it as marketing.
