CoreAge Rx vs Zappy Health
CoreAge Rx and Zappy Health 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.

Ranked #84 · Grade C
Best for: The flat month-to-month rate, if you can tell prepayment from a monthly price.
Visit Zappy HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Zappy Health on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 64 (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.
Zappy Health is still a genuine option — $249 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide, month to month, flat at every dose. Those are the only recurring rates. The cheaper tiers are prepayment — '$159/mo' is $477 once, three months shipped together, select states only. Brand Wegovy and Zepbound available as a $99 care fee, drug billed separately. FDA letter 717991 from February 2026, still open; the cited claims have been removed from the site. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

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
Zappy Health
Ranked #84 · Grade C
What we like
- A real month-to-month option at a single flat price, not just prepaid tiers
- Same price at every dose, so titrating up never raises the bill
- Removed the claims cited in its FDA letter, verified as absent site-wide
The caveats
- Carries an FDA warning letter: issued 20 February 2026 to Kare Solutions, LLC dba Zappy, MARCS-CMS 717991, for false and misleading claims and misbranding in telehealth, with no close-out recorded
- The advertised 'as low as $159/month' is $477 billed once for a three-month block, and is limited to selected states
- How many weeks of medication a 'month' contains is never stated anywhere on the site
