The whole ladder is public and the asterisk tells the truth — but the billing cycle is 28 days and every price is labeled "/mo" anyway.

The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 74/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Prime Doctor RX still earns its place — a buyer who will convert every figure into four-week cycles before comparing it to anything else.

The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

Factor by factor

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
  • 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

Prime Doctor RX

What we like

  • The full ladder for all three weight-loss products and for TRT sits on the homepage before any intake
  • The asterisk is honored: every card's footnote says the starting price is the 52-week prepay, in full
  • The four-week shipping cycle is disclosed in that same footnote rather than left to a bank statement
  • Names OpenLoop Health as the group providing telehealth evaluation and prescribing

The caveats

  • The cycle is 28 days and every price says "/mo" — its own arithmetic proves it, since $3,497 divided by 13 is exactly $269 and nothing on the page divides cleanly by calendar months
  • So a year of month-to-month tirzepatide is $4,407 rather than the $4,068 that pricing implies — a whole extra charge a reader is never shown
  • The $269 and $179 headlines are 52-week prepays; month to month they are $339 and $249
  • The Terms of Service name no company, no LLC and no address, and the $50 hormone-care lab fee sits in a "how it works" step rather than the pricing table
