Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
WeightRx vs Measured
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.
WeightRx
Cost-first shoppers who want the lowest published tirzepatide figure, if you are willing to complete intake before you can read the plan terms.
Visit WeightRxMeasured
Cost-first shoppers who want coaching-forward metabolic care with compounded or brand-name GLP-1s.
Visit MeasuredThe verdict
WeightRx takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 69 to 68. WeightRx is a telehealth provider publishing compounded semaglutide at $250/mo and compounded tirzepatide at $83/mo. Measured still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want coaching-forward metabolic care with compounded or brand-name GLP-1s.
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 WeightRx.

WeightRx
69/100Where the value is
- The tirzepatide figure is published up front, and it is genuinely low against the field
- Both molecules are offered
- No membership charge is advertised alongside the medication rate
The tradeoffs
- The $83 monthly rate is advertised as '$83/month ($997/year)', which is twelve months of it — no month-to-month rate is separately published, and the terms state that a rate is locked for its full term
- Both product pages linked from the homepage return 404, so the plan terms cannot be read before intake
Measured
68/100Where the value is
- Membership includes 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care
- Both compounded (from $79/mo microdose, $119 semaglutide, $229 tirzepatide) and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound
- Insurance or cash-pay options for brand-name medications
The tradeoffs
- The headline $79 'GLP-1 Microdose' is a promotional rate off a $99 list price, is filed by the provider under longevity rather than weight loss, and is not a labeled therapeutic dose of either molecule
- Branded plans are a $49/mo membership with the medication billed separately at $149 to $449/mo
