Head-to-head for women

Gala Health vs Sesame Care

Gala Health and Sesame Care both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Luna Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.

Gala Health

Higher score

Ranked #3 for women · Grade B+

Best for: Women who want a low-cost compounded tirzepatide on-ramp nationwide, value having a brand-Ozempic escape hatch, and appreciate a provider that also treats the hormone side through its HRT and menopause line.

Sesame Care

Ranked #5 for women · Grade B

Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Gala Health

Gala Health edges out Sesame Care on the Luna Fit Score, 87 to 85 (B+ vs B). Women who want a low-cost compounded tirzepatide on-ramp nationwide, value having a brand-Ozempic escape hatch, and appreciate a provider that also treats the hormone side through its HRT and menopause line.

Sesame Care is still a genuine option — 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. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Gala Health

Ranked #3 · Grade B+

What we like

  • Very low compounded entry — tirzepatide from $179, microdose from $149, three-month plans from $199
  • Available across all 50 states — a rare full-nationwide footprint
  • Offers a brand path (Ozempic) alongside compounded, so you aren't locked to one route

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic or Zepbound are
  • Brand-name access is very expensive — Ozempic runs about $1,299/mo
  • No oral or sublingual route yet — injections only for the needle-averse

Sesame Care

Ranked #5 · Grade B

What we like

  • Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
  • Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
  • You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency

The caveats

  • A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
  • Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
  • Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance

Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Luna Fit Score; affiliate partners carry a capped 6-point edge in list order, never in the score itself. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Luna Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
