Save ~89% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 74 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Science & Co isn't out of it: A twelve-month committer, or anyone who values a company saying plainly what it is and is not.
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
Science & Co
States in its own footer that it is not a compounding facility, and explains its own asterisk in its own FAQ.
Why it's a deal
- States twice in its footer that "Science and Co, Inc. is not a 503A or 503B compounding facility"
- Its own FAQ names the commitment behind the headline rather than leaving the asterisk unexplained
- "Same Price, Any Dose", with no hidden fees, no monthly membership and free shipping stated in the FAQ
- Names its operating entity and state of incorporation, and says every batch is third-party tested
The fine print
- The number it leads with is a twelve-month commitment; the per-month rates are $149 and $199
- Only two figures are published per drug, so a three- or six-month plan cannot be priced without starting an intake
- It says it is not a compounding facility but never names the pharmacy that is
- Injection only on the pages read, and no brand-name lane
