Disclosure: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission when a reader signs up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher ranking, or the removal of any criticism. The scoring rubric and the full disclosure are both published.


Both sell tirzepatide. PlexusDx costs $189 a month and Eden costs $298, a difference of $109 a month or about $1,308 a year. What matters more is whether the two are dispensing the same category of product at all.

PlexusDx is pharmacy transparency and genetic testing. Eden is low advertised medication price. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though it usually is once you have established that both dispense the same thing.

What is actually being dispensed. PlexusDx publishes which pharmacy compounds its medication; Eden does not. On a product the FDA has not reviewed, that is not a small difference.

  • Membership is $39 as an introductory rate, then $99/month ongoing.

Which to choose

  • Pick PlexusDx if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $1,308, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Eden if what it does better matters to you — genuinely low medication-only pricing.
  • If sourcing matters, note that PlexusDx publishes which pharmacy compounds its medication and Eden does not.

The verdict

On price alone, PlexusDx at $189 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Eden earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: PlexusDx and Eden.
