Save ~87% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 79 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Henry Meds isn't out of it: Someone who wants the visit, the medication and the supplies on one bill rather than three, and who will check which plan length they are agreeing to before they click.
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
Henry Meds
The flat-fee pioneer, and still the one that bundles the most into a single charge - though the published $179 is a floor that Henry says varies by plan and dose, and the multi-month plan has a cancellation catch worth reading first.
Why it's a deal
- One monthly payment covers provider visits, medication and supplies, shipping and ongoing care, with no separate membership or dispensing fee
- Publishes a starting price at all, and says plainly what it includes
- Offers oral tablets as well as injectables - tablets ship every 90 days, injectables every 45
- Three ways to cancel - patient portal, email or phone - where most sellers publish one, or none
- Says on its own site that compounded medication does not undergo FDA pre-market review and may differ from approved drugs in efficacy, safety and side effects
- Long-established name with a track record most newer entrants do not have, and it cites a published one-year outcomes study of its own patients
The fine print
- The $179 is a floor: Henry states the price "varies by treatment plan and dosing", so a maintenance dose is not the advertised number
- The cancel-any-time promise has an exception - on a multi-month plan Henry says you may be required to pay out the rest of the balance unless a clinician determines you cannot continue for medical reasons
- Shipments arrive every 45 days for injectables, which is not the same cadence as a monthly bill
- Compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy, and does not publish the list of states it serves
- Treatment is limited to adults aged 18 to 70
