Quick verdict
Sesame Care is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. 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. That is the point and the limit.
That said, Klarity Health wins on specific dimensions. Klarity offers GLP-1 as one of 100+ conditions handled by their telehealth platform. Less specialized than dedicated GLP-1 programs but works for patients who want one platform for multiple conditions. Per-visit pricing model with brand-name and compounded options.

When to choose Sesame Care
Best for one-off self-directed Rx
Self-directed buyers who want a one-off prescription and will manage refills, sourcing and titration on their own.
Sesame Care wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms, onboarding experience and runs $49/mo cheaper than Klarity Health at the entry tier ($229 vs $278). Over a year that's $588 you keep. The caveat: Anyone wanting coaching, dietitian access, ongoing accountability or an integrated medication supply chain.
When to choose Klarity Health
Best for multi-condition telehealth
Patients who want a multi-condition telehealth platform alongside their GLP-1 prescription. Useful if you also need treatment for ADHD, anxiety, hair loss or other conditions.
Klarity Health wins on tied dimensions on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients wanting deep obesity-medicine specialization or the cheapest cash-pay path.
If cost is your main filter
Sesame Care is the cheaper monthly: $229 all-in vs $278 for Klarity Health. That's $49 a month or $588a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $147 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Sesame Care (month-to-month) and Klarity Health (3-mo minimum) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Sesame Care's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
