Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 67/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Bayan Health still earns its place — a price-led shopper who will read the auto-renewal clause before the headline convinces them.

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
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
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
Bayan Health
What we like
- Both molecules are priced under two hundred dollars a month, with the dose ladder stated as one flat price
- Oral drops and a microdose tier are priced below the standard injection, and an oral orforglipron program is priced and purchasable
- The clinical network is named, along with the physician who founded it
- Prices are visible on the product pages before any medical questionnaire
- A transparent-pricing table is published rather than hidden behind an account
The caveats
- The obligation is not monthly: the Terms ship two or three months of medication in one delivery and state that the payment obligation covers the entire protocol dispensed, whatever the billing looks like
- Opting out requires 15 days' notice before the next protocol cycle, which is a longer leash than the cancel-anytime line in the FAQ suggests
- The FAQ says the service is available nationwide while the Terms say it may not be available in all states, and no list exists on the site
- The homepage says medication pricing depends on a personalized plan while the product pages say the price is flat at every dose
- No pharmacy is named, no legal entity suffix or address is published, no phone number exists on the site, and the pricing table still carries an unedited placeholder row
