Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Oak
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
A wide menu — compounded, oral or brand-name — at $200/mo for compounded semaglutide and $250 for tirzepatide, from a seller that names its pharmacy and never auto-renews. The catch is that Oak's own FAQ says each dose step adds about $50 to $75, on the same page whose banner promises one price at every dosage.
$200/mo (see conditions) sema · $250/mo (billed every 4 weeks) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The banner on Oak's own order form says "One price · All dosages" while the FAQ at the bottom of that same page says every dose step is "approximately $50 - $75 more" and that you agree in advance to pay whatever the doctor prescribes
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 71/100 (C) for Oak. Oak still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
