The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 84/100 (grade A vs B). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Strut Health still earns its place — anyone whose real objection is the needle rather than the medicine, and who wants every route priced on the page before signing up.

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

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

Strut Health

What we like

  • Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — semaglutide from $99/mo, tirzepatide from $199/mo, the same price as the injection
  • Every route and its auto-refill saving is published on the product page rather than revealed inside an intake
  • Cancel, pause or delay a subscription yourself with 48 hours' notice before processing
  • Free online physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included rather than added at checkout

The caveats

  • Asynchronous by design — their FAQ notes some states do not require a phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
  • Compounded only, with no brand-name pathway
  • No published lab or monitoring program
  • Not available in Arkansas
