Save ~89% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 78 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Auren Rx isn't out of it: Shoppers who want one flat figure for either molecule and want to see what refusing auto-refill costs before they agree to it.
CoreAge Rx is also our overall #1 pick across the whole deals ranking — a flat, all-in price on both molecules in all 50 states. That's why it wins here on the score, not just this matchup.

Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
CoreAge Rx
The honest lowest price: both molecules at one flat, all-in monthly rate that never steps up after month one.
Why it's a deal
- 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 — no lock-in
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of teaser tiers advertise lower month-one rates
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Auren Rx
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the same $149 a month on auto-refill, with the price of not committing published beside it at $179 — no prepay ladder, no introductory month, and a billing cycle its terms describe as 28 to 30 days.
Why it's a deal
- Both molecules cost the same $149 a month, so the choice between semaglutide and tirzepatide is clinical rather than financial — an unusual arrangement, and one that removes the most common upsell in this category
- The price of not committing is published rather than concealed: $179 for a single month with no auto-refill, against $149 with it, which is a $30 difference stated openly instead of an unexplained gap between a headline and a checkout
- There is no prepay ladder and no introductory month anywhere on the site, so the advertised figure is the figure — the trap this site exists to catch is simply absent here
- A low-dose track is priced on the same two-column basis at $129 and $149, so a shopper can see what the smaller dose actually saves
- The dispensing pharmacy is named with a street address and phone number, and the prescribing practice is named on the contact page with a physician's name behind it
- Cancellation is by email or in the account, stops all future charges, and an on-demand pause is offered — with published support hours rather than a vague promise of availability
The fine print
- The billing cycle is "approximately every 28-30 days" in the terms, not a calendar month. At the short end that is thirteen charges a year — about $1,937 rather than $1,788 — and the marketing says "/mo" throughout
- The product pages and the refund policy advertise a free online visit while the terms say the member is responsible for the cost of the initial online visit and any laboratory testing, and that neither is included in the membership fee. Two documents, opposite answers, and no figure attached to either
- Two different medical groups are named for the same care: one on the contact page and in the questions, another in the telehealth consent a patient signs
- Membership fees already paid are not refundable, and the terms add that a member who pauses for eight or more consecutive weeks without a continuation review may have the membership canceled outright
- All 50 states is claimed in the questions while the terms say some services are "only available to individuals located in certain states", and no list is published to settle it
- The vial strength behind the $149 figure is not stated, so it cannot be checked against what a comparable dose costs elsewhere
