Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.
| Feature | AgelessRx | TMates |

| Why each one | Longevity medicine pioneer offering GLP-1 microdosing alongside anti-aging treatments (NAD+, metformin, rapamycin), no membership fee required. | Two-archetype platform: (1) compounded GLP-1s with medication included and steep multi-month commitment discounts; (2) cheap $99/mo clinical service for brand Wegovy/Zepbound where you fill the prescription at your own pharmacy. |

| Watch out for | The advertised starting prices are multi-month plan rates, so the $139/mo compounded rate and the $99/mo microdosing rate both apply to a four-month plan. Brand-name access adds a $50 to $65 monthly membership on top of the medication cost. | The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03). |

Trade-offs
Strengths and cautions compared
AgelessRx
Pros
- +No membership fee on the compounded and microdosing plans, and its FAQ says video consultations are provided at no additional cost
- +GLP-1 microdosing is a published product line, with microdosing semaglutide from $99/mo on the four-month plan and microdosing tirzepatide from $159/mo
- +Broader longevity medicine platform with NAD+, metformin, and rapamycin alongside GLP-1 treatment
1 more documented strengths
- +Brand-name access sits alongside the compounded options, with Zepbound from $364/mo, Wegovy from $264/mo and the Wegovy Pill from $199/mo on its weight management page
Cons
- −The advertised starting prices are multi-month plan rates, so the $139/mo compounded rate and the $99/mo microdosing rate both apply to a four-month plan. Brand-name access adds a $50 to $65 monthly membership on top of the medication cost.
- −Longevity medicine framing may overwhelm patients who just want straightforward weight loss medication
- −Cold-shipping limitations may affect availability in Alaska and Hawaii
TMates
Pros
- +Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
- +Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
- +Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
1 more documented strengths
- +Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach
Cons
- −The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).
- −The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
- −The intake is a 90-second quiz. Fast, but lighter screening than competitors with full medical intakes. Better suited to patients who already know GLP-1 basics.
1 more documented cautions
- −TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.
