Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Ro edges out Sesame Care on the Luna Fit Score, 86 to 85 (B vs B). Women who want brand-name medication and insurance support, and are comfortable with a big, polished platform. The reasoning behind that number is in our full Ro review.
Sesame Care is still a genuine option — 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. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Sesame Care scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Sesame Care alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.

Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #4 · 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
