Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
SynergenX Health vs Steady State 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.
SynergenX Health
Cost-first shoppers who want men and women already seeking in-person TRT/HRT care who might add GLP-1s as a secondary service -- not a fit for GLP-1-first shoppers.
Visit SynergenX HealthSteady State Health
Cost-first shoppers who want not applicable -- this is a physical therapy clinic, not a GLP-1/weight-loss telehealth provider.
Visit Steady State HealthThe verdict
SynergenX Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 46 to 45. SynergenX is primarily a 64-location, 10-state in-person TRT (testosterone) and HRT clinic chain, not a GLP-1-first telehealth company. Steady State Health still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want not applicable -- this is a physical therapy clinic, not a GLP-1/weight-loss telehealth provider.
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 SynergenX Health.

SynergenX Health
46/100Where the value is
- Large in-person clinic footprint (64 locations, 10 states) for patients who prefer face-to-face visits
- Established, multi-service hormone-therapy brand
- One transparent price point exists for hormone lab testing ($99 self-pay)
The tradeoffs
- No GLP-1/semaglutide/tirzepatide pricing published anywhere on the site
- Primarily a TRT/HRT business; weight loss and GLP-1s are an undifferentiated add-on, not a core offering
Steady State Health
45/100Where the value is
- N/A -- not a GLP-1 provider
The tradeoffs
- Does not prescribe or sell semaglutide, tirzepatide, or any weight-loss medication
- Single-location, in-person Maine-only physical therapy practice, not a telehealth platform
