Winner: Vaylen
Vaylen takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 88/100 to 87/100 (grade B+ vs B+). Anyone who wants every option on one account: compounded, brand-name or oral, without leaving to shop around. Effecty still earns its place — patients who want a verified provider that can pivot to brand-name if compounded supply tightens.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.
Factor by factor
Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.
