Sesame Care vs Sunlight.com
The verdict
Sesame Care takes it — 87.8/100 to 85.4/100.
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.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

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
Graded #9 · B
Strengths
- Cheapest published semaglutide on this board ($88/mo) with competitively priced tirzepatide ($157/mo), both flat and stated to never increase — not quiz-gated, the FAQ states the exact figures
- LegitScript-certified with two named physicians and public NPI numbers (Lion MD network), rather than an anonymous "licensed clinicians" claim
- No membership fee, cancel anytime, free shipping in 1-2 days, a fresh 4-week supply every month
- All 50 states served, plus a separate live NAD+ program on the same domain
Where it loses points
- Injection only — the hero banner's "Injections and oral options available" line does not match the live site: no oral GLP-1 product page exists and sunlight.com/oral-semaglutide/ 404s
- The $157 tirzepatide figure sits inside a collapsed FAQ accordion rather than the hero, so it takes one extra click to find even though it is genuinely on the page
- Sermorelin is marketed as "launching soon" and is not yet live — do not expect it today
- No published lab or monitoring cadence, and the compounding pharmacy partner is referenced only generically, not named
Also worth a look
