CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 76 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Hims & Hers isn't out of it: People who want FDA-approved brand product with a familiar consumer brand around it, and who will add the membership to the medication before deciding it is cheap.
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
Hims & Hers
No longer a compounded seller: Hims now dispenses brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic and Zepbound, including the pills, from $149 a month - on top of a membership that costs $39 for one month and then $149 every month after.
Why it's a deal
- Brand-name and FDA-approved rather than compounded - Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Foundayo
- Sells the oral versions as well as the injectables, with the Wegovy and Ozempic pills the cheapest rungs at $149
- Prices for every product are printed on the page rather than hidden behind an intake
- Available in all 50 states, with a polished app and a well-known consumer brand
- A microdosing plan is offered for people who want a lower dose deliberately
The fine print
- The membership is mandatory and is billed separately - $39 for the first month then $149 a month, so a $149 pill plan is roughly $298 all-in
- Every medication figure is a "From" rate, so the dose you settle on may cost more than the number on the card
- Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899 a month, far above the cash routes elsewhere on this site
- FDA issued a warning letter to Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hims, dated September 2025. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Hims is a reseller, not the manufacturer - its own footer states it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Eli Lilly
