Head-to-head verdict

Sesame Care vs Ondra Health

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.

Grade B+ · #3

Sesame Care

An established national telehealth marketplace carrying real brand-name GLP-1s — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — where most programs we rank carry none, plus provider-by-provider price transparency.

Ondra Health

A rare combination: near-cheapest semaglutide, nationwide reach, brand-name access and a LegitScript-verified operation.

The verdict

Winner: Ondra Health

Ondra Health takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 89/100 to 87/100 (grade B+ vs B+). Value shoppers who refuse to trade price for legitimacy — the strongest all-around bargain in the ranking. 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.

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.

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

Ondra Health

What we like

  • Among the lowest disclosed compounded-semaglutide prices anywhere
  • LegitScript-certified with brand-name access on top of compounded
  • Available in all 50 states

The caveats

  • Tirzepatide is priced higher than its standout semaglutide
  • Newer name with a thinner public track record

Also worth a look

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.
