Sesame Care is still a genuine option — the marketplace route to real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound through an actual clinician video visit — reassuring and on-label, but you're booking an appointment and paying a membership on top of the drug. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Both providers scored on the same real-mom rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Sesame Care
Ranked #18 · Grade C
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand medication — Wegovy (pill and pen) and Zepbound — not compounded
- An actual scheduled clinician video visit with labs, more oversight than a questionnaire
- Established nationwide marketplace across all 50 states
The caveats
- Brand-only now — compounded semaglutide isn't currently available, so it's not a budget-vial route
- Requires a scheduled video visit, the hardest of these to fit around nap and daycare
- A membership fee is billed separately from the medication — the true monthly is two numbers
Strut Health
Ranked #16 · Grade C
What we like
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and needle-free oral lozenge formats
- Low 'starting at' prices, including a $99 oral semaglutide lozenge
- Cancel, pause, or delay anytime with 48 hours' notice — cleaner than most budget brands
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter for misbranded compounded GLP-1s and misleading website claims
- Prices are 'starting at' lowest-dose figures that rise as your dose increases
- Eligibility is marketed to patients who 'fail or cannot use' commercial GLP-1s
