Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Renlo 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
One of the few programs whose headline is the actual monthly rate, with the prescribing physician and the dispensing pharmacy both named.
$199/mo (see conditions) sema · $269/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: A struck-through $399 sits beside the price with no published basis — Renlo never says what it was, when it applied or to whom.
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 80/100 (B−) for Renlo Health. Renlo Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
