Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs RxSpan MD
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 physician-founded desk with one of the widest menus in the ranking — compounded and brand-name GLP-1 across injectable and oral routes, microdosing, plus longevity, hair, and sexual-health lines — with transparent, all-inclusive pricing across all 50 states.
$249/mo sema · $329/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: You pay before a clinician reads your intake, and RxSpan MD publishes no refund policy — the word "refund" appears nowhere on the site, and the terms of service say only that you agree to pay all fees. The cheapest advertised rate is a single upfront payment of $2,094 for a year of semaglutide, and the plan card says it auto-renews
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 88/100 (B+) for RxSpan MD. RxSpan MD still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
