Quick Verdict

We recommend Wellorithm

Between these two providers, Wellorithm is our pick for most users. It offers a higher overall rating (7.9 vs 7.2), more affordable pricing. That said, Sesame Care may be the better fit if you are looking for insured patients chasing cheap doctor visits, keeping in mind the medication is billed separately.

Wellorithm scores 7.9/10 in our independent evaluation at $147/month, while Sesame Care scores 7.2/10 at $225/month. Both programs connect you with a licensed physician and deliver medication straight to your door. Wellorithm also offers oral GLP-1 options for patients who prefer pills over injections. Each score weighs five things: safety and medical oversight (30%), pricing transparency (25%), value for money (20%), quality of clinical support (15%), and how fast you can get started (10%). We build these comparisons ourselves — no provider buys a better rating or a higher spot. Pricing checked April 2026.
