Dose-escalators. A flat per-dose price means titrating from 0.25mg to 2.4mg costs the same every month, so the twelve-month number you model on day one is the number you pay.
Visit OakThe verdict
Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 83. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. Oak still earns a B — Dose-escalators. A flat per-dose price means titrating from 0.25mg to 2.4mg costs the same every month, so the twelve-month number you model on day one is the number you pay.
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
Oak
83/100Where the value is
- $119 semaglutide and $185 tirzepatide — both among the lowest published on this board, and published before the intake rather than after it
- "ONE PRICE · ALL DOSAGES · NO SUBSCRIPTIONS" — the price does not climb as your dose does, which is where most flat-looking programs quietly get expensive
- A non-injectable route as well as the two weekly injections: sublingual drops or tablets targeting the GLP-1 pathway
The tradeoffs
- It publishes three different prices for the same product: $119 in the homepage hero, $167 in the homepage comparison table and on /product, and $190 in the /weightloss comparison table
- The "$200 OFF — NEW PATIENT OFFER" and "SUMMER SALE — Save up to 60% vs. retail pricing" banners carry no terms, no code and no resulting price anywhere on the site
