Sesame Care vs ShedRx
The verdict
ShedRx takes it — 88/100 to 87/100, but only just.
ShedRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The widest formulation spread on the board — oral/sublingual routes plus standard injection. Sesame Care is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission at no cost to you. It never changes the WeighScore.

Graded #5 · 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
Graded #3 · B+
Strengths
- Oral/sublingual options
- Competitive tirzepatide pricing
- Strong dose flexibility
Where it loses points
- States-served not disclosed
- Compounded only
