CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 85 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Strut Health isn't out of it: Shoppers who will keep an auto-refill running, especially anyone who would rather not inject.
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
Strut Health
A low, auto-refill entry price on injectable semaglutide, and one of the few places selling the same molecule as a lozenge - though the lozenge is now the dearer of the two routes.
Why it's a deal
- A low entry price at $129/mo for injectable semaglutide, held on auto-refill
- A buccal lozenge is offered for anyone who would rather not inject, though at $199 it now costs more than the injection rather than matching it
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice
The fine print
- The FDA issued this operator a warning letter in February 2026 — it is on the public FDA warning-letter database
- The $129 injectable price requires auto-refill - a one-off order costs more
- Asynchronous by design, so in many states you never speak to the prescriber
- Compounded only, and not available in Arkansas
