In this article
Hone presents weight-loss medication within a broader health program that starts with testing and a physician consultation. Its liraglutide page lists a medication charge plus membership, making the total more than the advertised drug price.
That page also describes a daily injection. A weekly-treatment offer from another service is a different prescription decision, so this comparison separates care-model costs from the clinician’s choice of medicine.
Add the applicable membership, medication, and testing costs, then compare the clinical services and exact treatment involved. CoreAge Rx holds the first sponsored position; that does not establish that it best meets every criterion.
What to know first
- Add the applicable membership, medication, and testing costs, then compare the clinical services and exact treatment involved.
- CoreAge Rx is the first listing through a disclosed commercial arrangement.
- Confirm the proposed product, care arrangement, and complete written payment terms.
How this shortlist was selected
CoreAge Rx is number one because it is our featured commercial partner. That position is predetermined by our commercial relationship, and we may earn compensation through its links. Other entries illustrate relevant care and payment models; their order is not a ranking of medication quality, safety, or patient outcomes.
Add the applicable membership, medication, and testing costs, then compare the clinical services and exact treatment involved. We used the provider documents linked beside each entry, checked September 21, 2026. We did not purchase treatment, test private accounts, audit every license, or measure response times. The product and current written quote for your own care still need confirmation. Read our review method.
01. CoreAge Rx — featured partner
Our sponsored self-pay comparison. Ask which testing and clinical follow-up its quote includes; a lower-looking medication bundle may provide different services from Hone’s broader membership.
The current sale page advertises semaglutide from $99 per month and tirzepatide from $149 per month, with no membership fee. Those are advertised starting figures, not a personalized checkout quote. The plan length and total amount due must be read alongside the monthly equivalent.
The sale page says CoreAge works with U.S. compounding pharmacies and describes 503A facilities. A category of pharmacy is not a substitute for the name, address, and state license of the pharmacy filling your own prescription. Request that information before deciding.

02. Nuform Health
Another service whose initial physician fee is distinct from a complete medication bill. Clarify later testing, prescriptions, and the role of direct care-team access.
Nuform’s homepage lists a one-time $170 physician fee. That is not presented as a complete ongoing GLP-1 medication price; the prescribed treatment and any laboratory charges need their own quote.
Ask which clinician handles weight management, which services the physician fee covers, and how later prescriptions and testing are billed. Access to a care team is not a guarantee of immediate prescribing advice.
Check the official Nuform Health program page for the current offer and conditions. Our Nuform Health alternatives comparison examines other care models.
03. PlushCare
A primary-care appointment pathway with separately identifiable visit, membership, lab, and drug costs. It may be useful if broader medical coordination is the reason for considering Hone.
PlushCare lists a $19.99 monthly membership after a free first month, plus the visit charge. Its uninsured initial visit is $129; an insured visit depends on the patient’s plan. Medication and lab costs are separate.
A covered visit does not mean the prescribed medicine is covered. Confirm membership, follow-up visit charges, lab costs, and the chosen pharmacy price as separate lines.
Check the official PlushCare program page for the current offer and conditions.
04. Shapely
A weight-management comparison with recurring video appointments and dietitian access. Medication and possible labs remain separate costs.
Shapely lists a $49 first self-pay membership month followed by $99 per month. Medication is excluded, and the site separately lists medication starting prices and possible lab charges. Its insured pathway requires an individual coverage check.
Confirm which visits your plan covers and which services belong to the selected membership. Acceptance of an insurance plan does not establish coverage of a weight-loss prescription.
Check the official Shapely program page for the current offer and conditions. Our Shapely alternatives comparison examines other care models.
05. Calibrate
A structured coaching program with a membership commitment and excluded medication and lab charges. Compare the services you would actually use.
Calibrate lists membership at $199 per month with a three-month initial commitment: $597 paid in monthly installments. Lab tests and prescription medicines are excluded from that membership price.
Insurance assistance does not guarantee a covered prescription. Review the commitment, medication and lab costs, and the separate conditions attached to any advertised money-back offer.
Check the official Calibrate program page for the current offer and conditions. Our Calibrate alternatives comparison examines other care models.
06. Ivím Health
A membership-supported care comparison with longer medication offers. Count the care fee alongside the full medication term before estimating savings.
Ivím’s homepage advertises six months of compounded semaglutide at a $75 monthly equivalent and tirzepatide at a $133 monthly equivalent. It separately lists membership at $75 per month with the first month free. Confirm that those terms apply to the same offer and your state.
Ivím’s terms describe an individualized compounded GLP-1 program with check-ins and clinical oversight. Confirm the actual pharmacy, formulation, refill timing, and any plan expiration rather than assuming a six-month purchase means six identical vials delivered at once.

The current Hone Health baseline
Hone lists compounded liraglutide from $160 per month plus membership. The page marks this treatment as Premium tier and lists Premium membership at $155 per month; those two advertised lines total $315 before other applicable costs. The separate $65 introductory biomarker-test offer is not the drug price.
Hone describes laboratory testing, a physician video consultation, and a personalized care plan within a broader health service. Its liraglutide page describes a daily injection, a different schedule from weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide products.
Confirm membership eligibility, repeat-testing costs, and whether medication remains separately billed. A broader hormone or longevity service does not establish that every offered treatment is needed for weight management.
The details that decide this comparison
The listed $160 medication starting price and $155 Premium membership sum to $315 before other applicable costs. Confirm that combination and any introductory testing charge for your own plan.
Ask which repeat labs and consultations are included in the relevant tier. A discounted first biomarker test does not establish the ongoing testing cost.
Discuss a change from daily to weekly treatment with the clinician rather than comparing the schedules as interchangeable subscriptions.
Keep the treatment distinction clear
An FDA-approved branded medicine and a compounded preparation have different regulatory status. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Trials of an approved product do not prove that every compounded version has the same performance.
Ask the prescribing professional why the exact product is appropriate for you, and identify the dispensing pharmacy. A price, a website’s appearance, or a place in this list cannot establish personal suitability. Our guide to compounded drugs and FDA approval explains the distinction.
Before you make a change
Ask whether you would keep any existing Hone services after changing the weight-management prescription. A new GLP-1 provider does not automatically cancel another membership or laboratory plan.
Bring current laboratory results, prescriptions, and supplements to the new clinician. The point of a broader assessment is to coordinate care, not to add every available wellness treatment.
