Quick verdict
Henry Meds is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Henry built the cash-pay compounded GLP-1 category and still runs the cleanest version of it. Flat monthly pricing, no labs theater, true month-to-month. Pivoted hard after the FDA shortage delisting and now leans on personalization-claim 503A pharmacies.
That said, Sesame Care wins on specific dimensions. Sesame is a cash-pay marketplace, not a program. Pay one fee, see one doctor, leave with a script. Cheapest path to a real branded GLP-1 prescription if you can fill it elsewhere. Zero ongoing care, which is the point and the limit.
