Head-to-head comparison
CoreAge Rx vs Telos Rx
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
Four GLP-1 formats compared side by side — injectable semaglutide, injectable tirzepatide, needle-free daily drops and a microdosed tier — with a clinician who picks for you, and not one billing cycle published beside a price.
From $99/mo sema · From $139/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved — including all peptides and the NAD+ spray
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 78/100 (C+) for Telos Rx. Telos Rx still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
