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.

Visit ShedRx (Shed)Corsica Health
Cost-first shoppers who want side-by-side compounded and brand-name GLP-1 pricing on one platform.
Visit Corsica HealthThe verdict
ShedRx (Shed) takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 87 to 63. The widest set of formats on the board — injection, drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound route — though its cheapest advertised rates need a year-long commitment. Corsica Health still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want side-by-side compounded and brand-name GLP-1 pricing on one platform.
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 ShedRx (Shed).
