Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 87/100 (grade A vs B+). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Sesame Care still earns its place — shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.

CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Sesame Care
What we like
- 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)
The caveats
- 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
