Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
Solaya MD vs FitFlow
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.
Solaya MD
Readers who want the pharmacy and the prescribing group identifiable before signing up, and who do not mind creating an account to learn the price.
Visit Solaya MDFitFlow
Cost-first shoppers who want price-sensitive shoppers comfortable calling to confirm whether the FLOW25 promo price is durable.
Visit FitFlowThe verdict
Solaya MD takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 62 to 61. Solaya MD names its partner pharmacy with an address and its medical director with an NPI, and publishes one unscoped "starts at $185" figure with no molecule, no dose and no billing cycle attached to it. FitFlow still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want price-sensitive shoppers comfortable calling to confirm whether the FLOW25 promo price is durable.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Solaya MD.

Solaya MD
62/100Where the value is
- Names its partner pharmacy, VialsRX, with a street address, phone number and website, revealed by a control on the FAQ
- Names the medical group and a medical director with an NPI number, which can be looked up independently
- Offers both oral and injectable routes and a low-dose program under one program price
The tradeoffs
- No drug-scoped price is published: the only public figure is "Pricing starts at $185" with no molecule, no dose and no billing cycle, and everything specific sits behind a create-account gate
- That figure sits above a line reading "clinician calls and care coaching available*" whose asterisk has no footnote anywhere on the page
FitFlow
61/100Where the value is
- LegitScript certified
- Transparent regular pricing displayed upfront without requiring an account
- Multiple payment options including Klarna financing
The tradeoffs
- Promo pricing (FLOW25) is undisclosed in duration -- classic 'limited time' ambiguity
- No named medical director found anywhere on the site
