CoreAge Rx vs SkinnyRx
Two GLP-1 providers, one scoreboard. We put CoreAge Rx and SkinnyRx head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.
CoreAge Rx
SkinnyRx
FDA warning letter, February 2026 — issued to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx. See the FDA's warning letter database.
The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head.
CoreAge Rx scores 94 to 58 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 SkinnyRx a bad call — it's best for readers who will not inject and want a tablet at no premium over the injection, and who will check which term a "$199" is attached to before treating it as a monthly bill. 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.

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.
SkinnyRx: First reading, 8 August 2026. Month-to-month is $349 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide, and the tirzepatide tablet costs exactly what the tirzepatide injection costs at all four terms. The "as low as $199 / $299" the site advertises are the twelve-month rungs, charged as $2,388 and $3,588 up front and auto-renewing annually. The separate microdose line costs the same as full dose at every shared term and floors higher, at $229 and $319, because it stops at eight months.
