Head-to-head dispatch
Sesame Care vs ShapeIn Rx
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
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.
Desk Score
Phoenix-based telehealth from WellHealth LLC selling compounded semaglutide with B12 and daily compounded liraglutide, with telemedicine limited to states where its providers are licensed.
Sesame Care takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 87/100 (B+) against 58/100 (C) for ShapeIn Rx. ShapeIn Rx still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
