Save ~90% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 75 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Bayan Health isn't out of it: Price-led shoppers who are confident they will stay on treatment for a full protocol, since the low monthly figure is attached to medication that arrives three months at a time.
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.

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
Bayan Health
Compounded semaglutide at $129 and tirzepatide at $149 a month, flat at every dose and priced openly before any intake — with a delivery model that ships three months at once and terms saying the payment obligation covers the whole protocol.
Why it's a deal
- Among the cheapest published standard-dose figures anywhere on this site: $129 a month for compounded semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide, with the low-dose and oral-drop versions at $99 and $119
- The price is flat by the seller's own statement — "Same Flat Price. No Matter the Dose." — so a titration from a starting dose upward should not move the bill
- The figures are visible before any intake, and the checkout confirms them before any personal information is entered: $129.00 every month, shipping free
- Both routes are covered, injectable and oral drops, at published prices rather than as a category with a quiz behind it, and an oral tablet in another class is priced too at $269
- The clinical network is named, along with the physician who founded it, which is more attribution than most desks at this price offer
The fine print
- The terms describe a delivery model the marketing does not: two or three months of medication in a single shipment, with payment collected in monthly installments, and "your payment obligation covers the entire treatment protocol dispensed to you". The monthly figure is an installment, not a month's commitment
- Opting out requires fifteen days' notice before the next protocol cycle begins, which may itself be a new sixty- or ninety-day protocol — while the published questions say you can cancel at any time
- No pharmacy is named. The site says "licensed 503A/503B U.S. pharmacies" in the footer, "U.S. 503A pharmacy partners" on the homepage and "a network of vetted pharmacy partners" in the questions, and a census of twenty-two pages found no name behind any of them
- No legal entity suffix and no street address are published anywhere — the contact page gives a city and a state and stops there
- Coverage is not published. The questions say nationwide in a collapsed answer, the terms say some services may not be available in all states, and no list exists; the state menu at checkout is the standard shipping list, not a statement of where care is offered
- No phone number and no support hours are published, for a product that ships temperature-sensitive medication
- The homepage says medication pricing depends on a personalized plan while the product pages say the price is flat regardless of dose — two answers to the question a shopper is actually asking
