Save ~86% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 86 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Elara Health and Wellness isn't out of it: Someone who wants labs and coaching included in the price and is willing to commit to a year to get the advertised rate.
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
Elara Health and Wellness
Physician-guided care with quarterly labs and a health coach built into the price rather than sold beside it - but every headline figure is an annual-plan rate, and no month-to-month price is published at all.
Why it's a deal
- Quarterly metabolic labs through Quest or Labcorp, a health coach every three weeks, physician oversight and free monthly delivery are all inside the subscription rather than billed beside it
- Names all four compounding pharmacy partners - RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx - and names Openloop Healthcare Partners as the clinical provider
- Licensed in all 50 states, with physician review typically inside 24 hours, no insurance required and nothing to pay until you are approved
- Offers a needle-free oral tablet as well as the injection, at $208/mo on the annual plan
The fine print
- Every advertised figure is an annual-plan rate. No month-to-month price is published anywhere, so what you would pay without committing to a year is not disclosed
- Committing annually means $2,196 up front for semaglutide before you know how you tolerate the medication
- The cancel-anytime promise is stated for monthly plans, which are not the plans these prices belong to
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved
- A first-month discount code is promoted on the home page, so the first bill is not the running rate
