Head-to-head comparison
Bayan Health vs CoreAge Rx
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
Bayan Health prices a wide catalog openly — both molecules, oral drops, microdose and orforglipron tablets — but bills monthly against a protocol that ships two or three months at once.
From $129/mo sema · From $149/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: Billing is monthly but medication ships in two- or three-month protocols, and the terms say the payment obligation covers the whole protocol.
Desk Score
One price at every dose, both molecules, all 50 states. The $99 and $149 figures are 12-month plans paid up front, not a monthly bill.
$99/mo (12-month prepay) sema · $149/mo (12-month prepay) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The advertised $99/$149 per month is a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,188 / $1,788 up front); no month-to-month price is published
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 66/100 (C) for Bayan Health. Bayan Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
