These two are the closest thing to a like-for-like matchup in the whole market: both charge $99 a month for compounded semaglutide, both hold that price at every dose, both include the consultation and free shipping, and neither charges a membership fee. The headline number cannot separate them.
The differences are structural. CoreAge is cheaper on tirzepatide's flat rate only if you compare against dose-tiered rivals — head to head, Trimi's tirzepatide is $125 against CoreAge's $149. CoreAge, on the other hand, has no subscription at all and publishes detailed refund and cancellation terms; Trimi does not state a cancellation policy on the pages we reviewed.

|---|---|---|
| Medication type | Compounded (not FDA-approved) | Compounded (not FDA-approved) |
| Membership fee | None. CoreAge states there are no membership fees, no auto-rebills and no surprise charges — you pay only for the plan selected at checkout. | No separate fee. Trimi states one flat membership covers medication, clinician visits, ongoing check-ins and free shipping. |

Trimi is structured as a cash-pay program and accepts Visa, Amex, Discover, Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay. |
| HSA / FSA | Not stated on the pages we reviewed. | Trimi states it is FSA and HSA eligible. |
| Cancellation | Reorder or cancel from the account at any time, with contact before a refill is billed.

| Refunds | A 100% refund if the provider does not approve a prescription. Once a provider has completed review or the prescription has been transmitted to the pharmacy, the order is in fulfilment and is generally not refundable.

CoreAge also applies a 30-day order finalisation clause: an order left incomplete for more than 30 days because required intake was not finished may be treated as services rendered, with no refund. | Not stated on the pages we reviewed. |
| Pharmacy fulfillment | 503A state board-regulated compounding pharmacies. CoreAge does not publish which pharmacy fills a given prescription — it states the pharmacy is assigned by therapy and will be named on request via its support line. Its terms also state a patient may direct the prescription to a pharmacy of their own choosing by emailing support before completing the order. | State-licensed compounding pharmacies preparing medication per individual prescription. Trimi does not publicly name them. |
