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 ShedRxToo close to call. Sesame Care and ShedRx land on the same Verdict Score of 87/100, so this one comes down to your priorities rather than our scoreboard. Weigh the factor-by-factor breakdown and pricing below — 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.
Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.
