The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

ShedRx (Shed)

People who want a needle-free route or a brand-name option, and who will commit to twelve months to reach the lowest price.

Reasons to consider it

  • Four routes to a GLP-1 — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill
  • Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available alongside the compounded line
  • Available in all 50 states, with health coaching included

What to weigh up

  • The advertised "as low as" prices ($159 semaglutide, $239 tirzepatide) require a TWELVE-MONTH commitment — month-to-month is $199 and $299
  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named

Sesame Care

People who want FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound or the Foundayo pill, a provider they pick themselves, and the option to collect it at a local pharmacy the same day.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name choices include the Wegovy pill and pen, Wegovy HD, Zepbound vials and KwikPen, and the Foundayo pill
  • Medication starts at $149 a month for the Wegovy pill or Foundayo and $299 for a Zepbound vial or KwikPen
  • You choose your own provider, meet by video, and get lab work when your provider wants metabolic data

What to weigh up

  • Two separate charges: the care plan and the medication are billed apart, so the floor is about $208 a month, not $149
  • The $59 care price needs a 12-month commitment; month to month it is $99, or $79 on three months and $69 on six
  • No compounded option, so nothing here costs less than the brand-name self-pay prices
