Save ~81% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 83 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Care Clinics isn't out of it: People in one of its 32 states who are happy to buy a defined block of treatment up front and would rather not sign up to a recurring charge.
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
Care Clinics
Prices a course rather than a month - $299 buys twelve weeks of semaglutide on a fixed titration schedule, which is cheap, but it is not a subscription and there is no monthly rate to compare.
Why it's a deal
- A full twelve-week semaglutide course is $299 with the medication included, and seven weeks is $259
- Tirzepatide is sold the same way - $399 for three months, or $299 for a four-week block
- Longer courses are quoted openly by dose and duration, from $499 up to $799, rather than hidden behind an intake
- Klarna payment plans are offered on the extended programs
The fine print
- Publishes no monthly rate at all, so it cannot be compared like-for-like against a per-month program
- The three-month plan is a titration schedule - 0.5 mg, then 0.75, then 1, ending at 1.7 mg - not a steady dose you choose
- Covers 32 states rather than all 50, and pricing beyond the listed blocks means booking a consultation
- Compounded only, with no brand-name or oral route
