The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head.
CoreAge Rx scores 94 to 79 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 Mint Med a bad call — it's best for readers who want flat $159 all-doses compounded glp-1 with no membership. 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.
