CoreAge Rx vs Bayan Health
CoreAge Rx and Bayan Health both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on speed to first dose, flat pricing, access and molecule choice. Here they are side-by-side on the Rx-Readiness Score — our readiness rubric.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.

Ranked #94 · Grade C
Best for: Someone optimizing on price who wants every figure visible before committing, and who will stay on the two established molecules.
Visit Bayan HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Bayan Health on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 62 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
Bayan Health is still a genuine option — the lowest published prices here, on an open storefront with no account, email or intake in the way: microdose semaglutide $99 a month, standard semaglutide $129, microdose tirzepatide $119, standard tirzepatide $149, each once weekly with vitamin B6, plus needle-free oral drops of both molecules at the microdose price. The microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones, which is not true of every seller. Two things weigh against it. The oral drops carry no published evidence for the route, and milligrams by mouth are not interchangeable with milligrams injected. And the same page advertises retatrutide, badged "GLP-3", as coming soon alongside orforglipron and two oral tablets — retatrutide is investigational and approved for nothing, and "GLP-3" is a nickname rather than a drug class. No state list, no dispensing pharmacy named, and no time to first dose. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
Bayan Health
Ranked #94 · Grade C
What we like
- Six prices on an open storefront with no account, email or intake
- The cheapest published rates on this roster, from $99 a month
- Microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones
The caveats
- Advertises retatrutide, badged "GLP-3", as coming soon — a drug approved for nothing
- Oral drops sold with no published pharmacokinetic evidence for the route
- Three more products listed as coming soon with no price
