Head-to-head dispatch
Sunlight vs TeleSlim Clinic
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
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.
Starts at $88/mo (compounded, injection) sema · Starts at $157/mo (compounded, injection) tirz · Verified August 4, 2026
Marked down on: Injectable only for GLP-1 — no oral tablet route on semaglutide or tirzepatide, despite a generic "Injections and oral options available" line in one landing page's hero that matches nothing else on the site
Desk Score
TeleSlim Clinic is a physician-led telehealth weight-loss practice run by board-certified obesity-medicine doctors, prescribing GLP-1 and GIP medications (semaglutide and tirzepatide).
Marked down on: Medication cost is separate from the 99-dollar membership and not clearly published
Sunlight takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 84/100 (B) against 56/100 (C) for TeleSlim Clinic. TeleSlim Clinic still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
