Shoppers who want the whole term ladder published before intake and are reading it carefully enough to spot which rung the headline came from.
Visit HealthRXThe verdict
Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 74. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. HealthRX still earns a C — Shoppers who want the whole term ladder published before intake and are reading it carefully enough to spot which rung the headline came from.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the board). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Ondra Health.

Ondra Health
90/100Where the value is
- Among the lowest disclosed prices on the board — $93 semaglutide and $166 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states with both molecules published for clean cost modeling
- LegitScript-certified, and offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
The tradeoffs
- A newer, lower-profile operator without CoreAge's long flat-price track record
- No oral/sublingual route
HealthRX
74/100Where the value is
- All 50 states, printed in the site's own header strip rather than left to the intake quiz
- Specific, checkable LegitScript certificate number (50087439) rather than just a generic badge image
- "Same price at every dose" policy avoids dose-based price creep
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $99 and $179 are twelve-month prepay rungs — $1,188 and $2,148 up front. The standing month-to-month rates are $190 and $239, roughly double and a third higher
- A second discount is stacked on the same headline: $99 semaglutide and $149 tirzepatide are also first-month intro rates on the monthly plan, so month two costs more than month one
