Save ~87% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 73 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Rx.com isn't out of it: Someone who will read the plan card rather than the banner, and who values no auto-renewal over the lowest sticker.
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
Rx.com
Names the pharmacy that fills the vial, with a street address, and refuses to auto-renew — behind a banner quoting another drug's prepay rate.
Why it's a deal
- "No automatic renewals" is printed under the plan card itself rather than buried in terms
- Names Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, South Carolina with a full street address, and MD Integrations as the provider network, on the same page as the price
- One flat price at every dose from 2.5 mg to 15 mg, with the provider visit, injection supplies and cold shipping stated as included
- A provider who declines to prescribe does not charge you for medication
The fine print
- The advertised $146 is a six-month prepay on the other molecule
- Its plan page says 49 states served while its own banner says all 50
- Injection only — no oral route and no brand-name lane
- LegitScript is claimed in the footer and we did not verify who holds the id
