Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 77/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. AskRx still earns its place — people who want a brand-name-only GLP-1 prescriber routing to NovoCare or LillyDirect.
The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.

CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account

The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
AskRx
What we like
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s, no compounded drugs

- Board-certified physicians trained in obesity medicine
- Transparent dose-based pricing published on site
- Available in all 50 states
The caveats

- No compounded lower-cost alternative offered
- Specific list of supported states is not published
