Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Green Cap Health
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
Green Cap Health is a Texas-only telehealth practice with a vertically integrated model: it is both the prescribing clinical practice and the in-house compounding pharmacy.
$129/mo (6-month prepay) sema · $199/mo (6-month prepay) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 63/100 (C) for Green Cap Health. Green Cap Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
