Head-to-head
CoreAge Rx vs Livea
CoreAge Rx and Livea both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on speed to first dose, flat pricing, access and molecule choice. Here they are side-by-side on the Rx-Readiness Score — our readiness rubric.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A

Ranked #199 · Grade C
Best for: A family that wants a company with a track record behind the prescription rather than a new domain.
Visit LiveaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Livea on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 53 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
Livea is still a genuine option — an established Minnesota weight-management company rather than a new domain: Livea Medical, PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control, Inc. Compounded semaglutide from $99 a month, tirzepatide from $199 "when available" — the supply caveat is theirs, and it is worth having in writing. The price lives inside a collapsed FAQ rather than a pricing page, which is where it is most likely to go stale unnoticed. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same readiness rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
Livea
Ranked #199 · Grade C
What we like
- Operates as a named medical entity under an established weight-control company rather than a bare LLC
- $99 a month for compounded semaglutide is well below this roster's median
- Says "when available" about tirzepatide instead of implying continuous supply
The caveats
- Both prices are "starting at", so dose may move them
- Tirzepatide availability is explicitly conditional, so the $199 may not be obtainable when you need it
- No list of states served
