Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 71/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. PlexusDx still earns its place — shoppers wanting nationwide compounded GLP-1 with optional genetic-test personalization.
