Head-to-head for women
Oak vs Sesame Care
Oak 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.
Oak
Ranked #53 for women · Grade C
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who would rather buy a package outright than manage a recurring plan, and who are willing to complete a long health intake before finding out what they will actually be charged.

Luna Fit
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.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out Oak on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 72 (B vs C). 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 reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
Oak is still a genuine option — a compounded program sold as one-off packages rather than a subscription, in Spanish as well as English, charging $200/mo for semaglutide and $250 for tirzepatide at one flat rate per dose — but its own pages give nine different starting figures, none carrying a term and none of them the price it actually charges, plus two different answers on how many states it serves. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our full Oak review goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Oak alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.

Luna Fit
Oak
Ranked #53 · Grade C
What we like
- No membership or subscription fee and no plan to manage — Oak sells one-month and three-month packages, with shipping included
- Oak's own checkout currently accepts every state and Washington D.C., and the site and the intake are offered in Spanish as well as English
- There is no recurring charge to stop, so there is nothing to cancel and no auto-renewal to catch you out
The caveats
- Oak does not publish a price you can act on. Across its own pages it gives nine different "starting" figures — $119, $133, $160, $167, $180, $185, $190, $199 and $250 — and attaches a term or a billing cadence to none of them
- The two cheapest of those figures are not monthly rates. "Semaglutide from $119 / Tirzepatide from $185" appears only beside a "$200 off — new patient offer", and Oak's own affiliate page defines that offer as "$50 off your first month, $200 off 3-months" — a three-month package discount printed as if it were a per-month price
- The undiscounted floors Oak itself publishes are $190/mo on its weight-loss page and $167/mo in the comparison table on its homepage, and those two do not agree with each other either
Luna Fit
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
