Peter MD vs Sesame Care
The verdict
Sesame Care takes it — 87.8/100 to 78.1/100.
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 #37 · C+
Strengths
- Broad multi-category catalog on one account — TRT, GLP-1, ED, non-GLP-1 weight loss, men's hair loss and NAD+
- Physician-prescribed, nationwide telehealth operating since 2021
- Genuinely cheap TRT entry — $79/mo testosterone cypionate on a 12-month plan
- Low tirzepatide first-month rate ($149) at a real 60mg dose
Where it loses points
- Tirzepatide steps up from $149 the first month to $249/mo, billed quarterly
- Semaglutide's own pricing is hard to compare at a glance — $149/mo for first-time patients vs $139/mo for returning ones, with very different total costs ($447 vs $834) over similar supply windows
- The affiliate program discloses a wider list of state exclusions (varying by treatment, touching AL, AR, CA, ID, IA, KY, LA, MA, MI, NC, SC and TX) than any single customer-facing pricing page states
- TRT and tirzepatide both require locking into quarterly or 12-month billing to get the advertised rate
- No named medical director or lab/monitoring detail published; customer reviews are mixed
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
