Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
Actin vs myRocky

Actin
Cost-first shoppers who want not clearly established from public content -- insufficient disclosed detail to recommend a fit.
Visit ActinmyRocky
Cost-first shoppers who want the real FDA-approved branded pens (not a compounded copy), for shoppers willing to pay branded-drug prices.
Visit myRockyThe verdict
Actin takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 39 to 38. Actin is a multi-condition telehealth platform (weight, hormones, sexual wellness, hair) that lists weight management among its service lines and claims to source from 'state-licensed compounding pharmacies. myRocky still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want the real FDA-approved branded pens (not a compounded copy), for shoppers willing to pay branded-drug prices.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Actin.

Actin
39/100Where the value is
- Multi-condition platform (weight, hormones, sexual wellness, hair) under one account
- States it uses 'state-licensed compounding pharmacies' with third-party potency/sterility testing
- Clean, modern telehealth positioning
The tradeoffs
- No semaglutide or tirzepatide pricing published anywhere accessible
- No named compounding pharmacy partner despite claiming to use one
myRocky
38/100Where the value is
- Sells only genuine FDA-approved branded medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) rather than compounded copies — a real differentiator from most of the other sites in this batch
- LegitScript-approved pharmacy, publishing the number #308582 beside that claim (we could not resolve it as a LegitScript seal ID in August 2026; it may be a pharmacy license number, which that registry would not serve)
- Explicit 42-state coverage list published on a dedicated service-coverage page, with 8 more states named as 'coming soon' — more specific than most peers' vague language
The tradeoffs
- Pricing is split across a $99 consult, a separate $99/month program fee, and the drug cost itself — a shopper reading only '$99/month' would badly underestimate the real all-in cost
- None of the three drug-specific pages (Ozempic $1,409, Wegovy $1,869, Mounjaro $1,509) discloses whether that figure is a one-month or multi-month supply
