Head-to-head dispatch
Sesame Care vs Sunlight
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
A LegitScript-certified compounded GLP-1 telehealth brand with flat, openly published pricing — semaglutide from $88/mo, tirzepatide from $157/mo — plus a separate peptide-therapy program (NAD+, and per the live site, sermorelin) under its own intake.
Sesame Care takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 87/100 (B+) against 84/100 (B) for Sunlight. Sunlight still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
