Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs HealthSource
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
HealthSource sells compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a nightly sublingual tirzepatide tablet in all 50 states, charged every four weeks rather than by the calendar month.
$199 per 4 weeks sema · $299 per 4 weeks tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: You pay before the medical intake — the questionnaire link appears only after checkout, and withdrawing once you have filled it in costs you $25–$45 for the provider review
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 84/100 (B) for HealthSource. HealthSource still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
