The comparison in brief

CoreAge Rx has the higher Cost-Efficiency Index: 94/100 versus 63/100. That is a value comparison under our published methodology, not a measure of medical suitability or a guarantee of results.

The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

CoreAge Rx

Anyone who wants one flat monthly price they can plan a full year around, on either molecule, without signing a contract.

Reasons to consider it

  • One price at every dose: semaglutide is $99 from 0.25 mg up to 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide is $149 from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg
  • No membership fee, no insurance needed and no long-term contract, and the price you lock in at checkout stays put as your dose rises
  • If the doctor decides a prescription isn't right for you, CoreAge refunds the medication portion of your payment

What to weigh up

  • Some programs we track publish lower semaglutide prices. Compare billing terms, dose pricing and required fees before choosing.
  • You pay before the doctor reviews your case, and if you aren't approved the FAQ promises a 100% refund while the refund policy keeps a $50 to $100 consultation fee
  • All sales are final once medication ships, because state and federal law don't allow medication returns

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

LillyDirect Foundayo

Patients who want an FDA-approved, manufacturer-direct oral GLP-1 rather than a compounded injectable.

Reasons to consider it

  • First-party Eli Lilly program -- highest possible manufacturer authenticity
  • FDA-approved branded drug (orforglipron), not an unapproved compounded formulation
  • Published self-pay starting price ($149) via savings card

What to weigh up

  • Not semaglutide or tirzepatide -- a different molecule (orforglipron), so not directly comparable on this list
  • The $149 price is tied to a specific Savings Card program with its own terms, not an unconditional list price
  • No clarity on whether $149 is truly the ongoing monthly cost or could change
