Sesame Care vs Better MedSpa
Two GLP-1 desks, one scoreboard. We put Sesame Care and Better MedSpa head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.
Sesame Care
The verdict
Sesame Care takes this head-to-head.
Sesame Care scores 87 to 52 on our six-factor Brief Score — 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.
That doesn't make Better MedSpa a bad call — it's best for readers who want illinois residents wanting physician-led glp-1 weight loss with in-person or telehealth options. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities before you decide.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.

Sesame Care: Marketplace pricing is set per provider rather than one desk rate; the brand-name Wegovy pill line held its ~$149 entry this cycle.
Better MedSpa: New to the tracker on 1 August 2026. This program publishes no monthly medication price, so there is no line for us to track until it does.
● Not sold on either?
CoreAge Rx tops the whole board at 94/100.
The steadiest desk on the board: one flat, no-step-up price on both molecules, nationwide, and it hasn't moved.
Pricing, states and access reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Brief Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
