Save ~89% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 71 — an est. $149/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Roen Rx isn't out of it: Patients with insurance seeking brand-name GLP-1 access with compounded fallback.

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
Roen Rx
Roen Rx offers compounded semaglutide as well as brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro with insurance coordination.
Why it's a deal
- Insurance coordination for brand-name GLP-1s — as low as $25/mo
- Both compounded and brand-name options
- LegitScript approved with Compounded USA badge
- Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo quarterly
- Also offers primary care, mental health, and other specialties
The fine print
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Insurance coordination may not work for all plans
- Broader platform (ED, hair loss, skincare, birth control)
- Requires a separate membership (first month $39); GLP-1 medications are NOT included in the membership fee - medication is billed on top
