Head-to-head dispatch
Strut Health vs Sesame Care
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
The same molecule as a lozenge or an injection at the same price — the only place on this board where the needle is genuinely optional.
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.
Strut Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 88/100 (B+) against 87/100 (B+) for Sesame Care. Sesame Care still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
