The verdict
Sesame Care takes this head-to-head.
Sesame Care scores 87 to 86 on our six-factor Brief Score — An established national telehealth marketplace with the widest real brand-name GLP-1 access in the ranking — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — plus provider-by-provider price transparency.
That doesn't make Sprout Health a bad call — it's best for patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name wegovy or zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding. 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 provider rate; the brand-name Wegovy pill line held its ~$149 entry this cycle.
Sprout Health: The standing compounded rates are $299 semaglutide / $349 tirzepatide; the $149/$199 on the home page are first-month-only prices under code FIRST150. A brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound path is available on the same account.

CoreAge Rx tops the whole ranking at 94/100.
One price on both molecules that does not climb as you titrate — but the headline $99 and $149 are annual-plan rates, paid in full up front.
