Head-to-head verdict
Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, and no score is adjusted for payment.
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.
Visit Sesame CareOne of the few names that actually holds a LegitScript certification you can look up — and it pairs that with a rare oral GLP tablet and a fully published plan table, though the headline $99 and $179 rates are 12-month prepay floors, not what a month-to-month patient pays.
Visit HealthRXSesame Care takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 86/100 (grade B+ vs B). 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. HealthRX still earns its place — patients who want a verifiable, physician-supervised operator, would rather swallow a daily tablet than inject, and are willing to prepay a year to reach the lowest published rate.
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.
Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.
