CoreAge Rx vs Idgie Health
Two GLP-1 providers, one scoreboard. We put CoreAge Rx and Idgie Health head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.
CoreAge Rx
The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head.
CoreAge Rx scores 94 to 75 on our six-factor Brief Score — One price on both molecules that does not climb as you titrate — but the headline $99 and $149 are annual-plan rates, paid in full up front.
That doesn't make Idgie Health a bad call — it's best for a reader who wants the whole ladder visible and will ask what the membership is before starting. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities before you decide.
Why CoreAge Rx leads: it's our #1 here — one flat, no-step-up price on both molecules, nationwide, and the steadiest line on our tracker.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.

CoreAge Rx: Headline unchanged for a third straight cycle. The $99 and $149 are the 12-month prepay rates; CoreAge publishes no month-to-month price.
Idgie Health: New to the tracker on 13 September 2026, read live off the provider's own pages that day rather than taken on trust. There is no earlier reading here to compare against, so the direction is "new" rather than stable — a first observation is not a trend. The figure to watch is not on the pricing page: the Terms describe a recurring Membership Fee and exclude the visit and labs from it, and what that fee is has never been published.
Pricing, states and access reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Brief Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
