Visit SesameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Sesame on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 81 (A vs B−). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Sesame is still a genuine option — a high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Sesame
Ranked #10 · Grade B−
What we like
- FDA-approved brand products (Wegovy pen and pill, Ozempic, Zepbound) with the manufacturer's own labeling
- Self-pay brand prices posted publicly — you can budget before you book
- Strong trust signals: A+ BBB rating and a 4.3/5 Trustpilot average across 1,000+ reviews
The caveats
- No longer offers compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand cash prices only
- Requires an initial video visit rather than an async intake
- BBB complaints report members charged after cancelling and refused refunds
