Visit Sesame CareThe verdict
Winner: Sesame Care
Sesame Care takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 78/100 (grade B+ vs C). 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. Oak still earns its place — people who want the lowest sticker price for either molecule and would rather buy a package than manage a subscription.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

Oak
What we like
- Lowest published prices here — semaglutide from $119/mo, tirzepatide from $185/mo
- One price across every dosage, so titrating up does not raise the monthly cost
- No membership or subscription fee, and free shipping
- All 50 states, with the process offered in Spanish as well as English
The caveats
- Same-day approval with no video call required means very little clinical contact before a prescription
- Compounded only — no brand-name pathway, and no oral or sublingual route
- Sold as one- and three-month packages, so re-ordering is on you
- No published lab or monitoring programme
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
Also worth a look
