Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
Ondra Health vs Pomegranate Health
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Ondra Health
Value shoppers who want one of the lowest disclosed prices on both molecules without giving up nationwide access or pharmacy verification.
Visit Ondra HealthPomegranate Health
Cost-first shoppers who want a no-membership compounded GLP-1 whose semaglutide price is published on the product page itself.
Visit Pomegranate HealthThe verdict
Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 55. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. Pomegranate Health still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want a no-membership compounded GLP-1 whose semaglutide price is published on the product page itself.
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
Pomegranate Health
55/100Where the value is
- No membership and no consultation fee — the site states 'No Membership required' and 'Transparent pricing, no hidden fees'
- The semaglutide price sits in the product page's own static HTML, so it can be read before any intake
- Shipping is included: 'shipped discreetly to your door at no extra cost'
The tradeoffs
- The tirzepatide price is not on the public site at all — it exists only inside the in-app pricing portal, and there is no standalone tirzepatide product page to read it from
- Both published figures are floors, a 'Starts @' and a Starter tier, and no price is published for the dose you titrate up to
