Sesame Care vs ShedRx
The verdict
Sesame Care takes it — 87.8/100 to 87/100, but only just.
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 in the ranking — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — plus provider-by-provider price transparency. ShedRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Site position #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
Site position #3 · B+
Strengths
- Four GLP-1 routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill
- Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available beside the compounded line
- Health coaching included with membership, plus a published 120-day weight-loss guarantee
Where it loses points
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
