Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs ElixaMD
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
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
Desk Score
ElixaMD is a doctor-guided weight-loss membership at $99 for the first month and $199/month thereafter — a price published only on its glp1.elixamd.com lander, never on elixamd.com, whose header promises "clear pricing" beside no figure at all.
$199/mo (first month only) sema · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: ⛔ No price appears anywhere on elixamd.com — not on the home page, not on any policy page — while the running header cycles the words 'CLEAR PRICING'. The only figures on the property are one subdomain over, at glp1.elixamd.com
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 70/100 (C) for ElixaMD. ElixaMD still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
