Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 51/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Teladoc Health still earns its place — shoppers who want employees and health-plan members wanting GLP-1 support from a major platform.
