Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #8 · 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
Luna Fit
Effecty
Ranked #6 · Grade B+
What we like
- FDA-approved brand access plus compounded, both molecules
- LegitScript-accredited — a meaningful oversight signal when hormones are involved
- Nationwide across all 50 states
The caveats
- No oral/sublingual form
- Not a hormone-specialty program; PCOS framing is general
