Ageless vs Kova
The verdict
Ageless takes it — 84.8/100 to 44.3/100.
Ageless grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. One of the broadest compounded storefronts on the board — GLP-1, NAD+, sermorelin, TRT and more under one roof, in both injectable and oral routes, on low headline pricing (semaglutide $119/mo, tirzepatide $169/mo) — offset by a compounded-only catalog and an undisclosed state list.

Graded #10 · B
Strengths
- Unusually broad compounded menu — GLP-1, NAD+, sermorelin, TRT, LDN and more, in both injectable and oral formats
- Low headline GLP-1 pricing — semaglutide $119/mo, tirzepatide $169/mo — no insurance, with Klarna/Affirm financing
- Fully online: licensed-clinician review and discreet delivery, with upfront compounded/not-FDA disclosures
- Oral routes available (drops and troches), not injection-only
Where it loses points
- Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved — not equivalent to brand Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound
- Oral GLP-1 drops and troches lack robust absorption/efficacy evidence versus injectables
- No published state-availability list and no named legal entity or medical group
- Thin public track record, and advertised prices are floors set after clinical review
Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
