Two GLP-1 providers, one scoreboard. We put CoreAge Rx and Strut Health head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.

Strut Health
FDA warning letter, February 2026 — issued to Strut Health, LLC dba Strut. See the FDA's warning letter database.
The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head.
CoreAge Rx scores 94 to 84 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 Strut Health a bad call — it's best for readers who want a needle-free route at the lowest tracked price and are comfortable with a recurring auto-refill. 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.
