Effecty Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Works with state licensed compounding pharmacies for fulfillment
  • Free expedited two day shipping after the prescription is filled

Cons

  • Shipping excluded in five states for some therapies

Sesame Care Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Same‑day nationwide access
  • Transparent, cash‑pay prices
  • Low‑cost membership perks

Cons

  • Provider quality varies
  • Rx costs often separate
  • No controlled substances online

Pricing

23/25

Effecty posts monthly prices on every product card and ties them to the supply window so costs are clear before checkout. Free expedited shipping is included, but payment is authorized upfront and refunds only apply if you cancel before a shipment goes out.

Pricing

20/25

Sesame shows visit prices before booking and offers a $10.99 membership that lowers most fees, plus GLP 1 cash quotes so there are no hidden bills. Medication costs still vary by pharmacy and insurance, so confirm totals on each listing.

Quality

16/20

Licensed clinicians review each case, work with U.S. partner pharmacies, and include direct provider messaging in the plan. Because specific pharmacy names and batch details are not public, ask for that information when you onboard and keep labs handy.

Quality

15/20

Because Sesame is a marketplace, quality depends on the clinician you pick, but licensure checks, profile details, and clear scope limits help set expectations. Read reviews and service descriptions closely to match the protocol you need.

Onboarding

13/15

The questionnaire and telehealth visit move quickly, and most prescriptions ship within five to seven business days with two day delivery once a label is printed. Eligibility prompts and payment holds are handled at checkout, which lowers the chance of surprises later.

Onboarding

14/15

Search, pick a clinician, pay the posted rate, and complete a short intake, with same day visits common for many services. Subscriptions come with transparent cancellation windows, so reschedule or cancel early to stay inside the refund policies.

Medication Options

13/15

Effecty carries compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, branded Wegovy and Ozempic, metformin, enclomiphene based TRT, and multiple finasteride combinations, covering core needs across weight, hormone, and hair programs. Dose ranges follow standard titrations even if every concentration is not exposed on site.

Medication Options

13/15

Sesame spans GLP 1s, ED meds, hair loss therapies, dermatology kits, and menopause care, giving broad choice across a single portal. Controlled substances stay out of scope, so testosterone and stimulant seekers need another channel.

Shipping & Fulfillment

8/10

After approval, orders ship free via expedited service and usually land within two days, though state coverage varies by therapy so confirm your ZIP during intake. Track deliveries promptly because cold chain and storage guidance arrive with the package.

Shipping & Fulfillment

8/10

Many patients use same day local pickup which removes shipping risk; delivery orders arrive in about two to three business days through partner pharmacies. Because timing varies by clinician and state, coordinate refills early if you rely on mail delivery.

Customer Support

8/10

You can message your prescribing provider, email support, and cancel by request, which keeps account management simple. There is no live chat, so rely on the portal for history and follow up quickly if you need adjustments.

Customer Support

7/10

Email and phone support explain cancellations, refunds, and reschedules in plain language, and the company answers public complaints. Resolution can involve multiple parties, so keep threads organized and follow up if a pharmacy or clinician must respond.

Usability & Experience

4/5

Pricing sits on each tile, the intake is linear, and FAQs explain billing holds and card charges in plain language, making the experience feel modern. Adding a persistent state coverage banner and naming partner pharmacies would improve transparency even more.

Usability & Experience

4/5

The search driven interface, membership pricing badges, and mobile app make booking fast and modern. Pricing still varies by provider and delivery SLAs are not universal, so compare listings before you settle on one option.
