Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Pallas 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
Pallas Health names all six of the pharmacies that dispense for it and two prescribing clinicians whose NPIs verify in the federal registry — then sells every GLP-1 on a single twelve-week prepay, so the advertised “/mo average” is one $597 or $897 charge divided by three.
$199/mo (see conditions) sema · $299/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: There is no month-to-month rung for either compounded molecule — the funnel renders no cadence selector — so the advertised “$199/mo average” is a single $597 charge every twelve weeks divided by three
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 87/100 (B+) for Pallas Health. Pallas Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
