Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Sunlight
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
The lowest published entry prices here — semaglutide from $88/mo, tirzepatide from $157/mo, flat monthly with no membership and no prepay — from a LegitScript-certified desk that names two NPI-verified physicians and six dispensing pharmacies.
From $88/mo sema · From $157/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Injectable only for GLP-1 — no oral tablet route on semaglutide or tirzepatide, despite a generic "Injections and oral options available" line in one landing page's hero that matches nothing else on the site
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 85/100 (B) for Sunlight. Sunlight still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
