NativeMed vs Sesame Care
The verdict
Sesame Care takes it — 87.8/100 to 66.5/100.
Sesame Care grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. An established national telehealth marketplace with the widest real brand-name GLP-1 access on the board — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — plus provider-by-provider price transparency.

Graded #191 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified (verifiable in the footer)
- Promotional pricing shown publicly: $149/mo semaglutide, $183/mo tirzepatide
- Online questionnaire intake, with a live visit added when state law requires it
Where it loses points
- Pharmacy partners aren't named — described only as 'USA-based' or 'accredited' pharmacies
- States served aren't listed publicly
- Prices are promotional — confirm whether they hold past month one or rise to the $299/$399 regular rate
Graded #2 · B+
Strengths
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
- Oral routes available (Wegovy pill, Rybelsus)
Where it loses points
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
