Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Efficacy claims are cited to the actual trials with duration and source: 'Average 15% body-weight loss at 68 weeks in STEP-1' for semaglutide and 'Average 21% body-weight loss at 72 weeks in pivotal phase-3 trial' for tirzepatide, referencing NEJM 2021, each followed immediately by 'Not FDA-approved'
✓The competitor price comparison is dated and sourced - 'published monthly prices at comparable telehealth clinics, July 2026' and 'Prices as displayed on each clinic's public site' - rather than an unattributed claim of being cheapest
✓LegitScript certification is given with its certificate number (50087439), so it can be independently verified
✓Pricing is low and clearly tiered: compounded semaglutide from $133/mo on a 3-month plan or $99/mo on 12 months, and tirzepatide from $209/mo or $179/mo on 12 months (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Same price at every dose, so titration does not raise the bill
✓Full refund if a licensed provider does not approve you, and the site states outright that paying does not guarantee a prescription
✓Cancel anytime 'in one click', with free overnight cold-chain shipping and availability in all 50 states
✓The 503A regulatory category is named specifically rather than the vaguer 'FDA-registered facility' language competitors prefer

Cons

✗The '4.8 · 12,000+ members' rating shown in the header has no traceable source - we found no Trustpilot profile for the domain and no other public review platform carrying it
✗The advertised prices are plan prices, not month-to-month rates. '$133/mo' is the 3-month plan and '$99/mo' requires committing to a full year; no single-month price is displayed
✗Committing 12 months upfront to a compounded medication means paying for a year before you know how you tolerate it
✗No BBB profile or independent complaint record exists to check the service against
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗The competitor comparison, while dated and sourced, is still marketing produced by the company that benefits from it
✗As with every compounded GLP-1, the trial figures quoted come from the branded medicines rather than the compounded product actually dispensed - HealthRX says so, but the numbers still headline the page

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideorforglipron

Pros

✓Publishes cash prices dose by dose, which no other provider on this site does. Zepbound KwikPen is $299/mo at 2.5mg, $398 at 5mg, $499 at 7.5mg and $698 at 10-15mg, so you can see exactly what titrating up will cost before you start
✓The same detail applies across the range: Wegovy pill $149/mo (1.5mg, 4mg) or $299 (9mg, 25mg); Wegovy pen $199 for the first two months for new patients then $349; Foundayo from $149 to $349 depending on dose (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Every medication offered is FDA-approved and branded - no compounded product is involved
✓Insurance is accepted, and with coverage medication can drop to as low as $25/mo
✓The care programme itself - video visits, dedicated provider, labs and messaging - starts at $59/mo
✓Efficacy milestones are properly sourced, citing a study of injectable semaglutide 2.4mg with the population spelled out (BMI 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition, non-diabetic) and paired with lifestyle change
✓A full refund is available if you cancel at least three hours before your first visit
✓The wider marketplace lets you compare individual providers on price, with appointments from $37

Cons

✗The $59/mo headline depends on a 12-month 'Success by Sesame' commitment, and the annual fee is explicitly non-refundable once paid - cancel in month two and you do not get the remaining ten months back
✗Medication costs are not included in the programme price, which Sesame states plainly but which means the real monthly outlay is the subscription plus the drug
✗Cash prices escalate steeply with dose. Zepbound more than doubles from $299 to $698 as you titrate to a maintenance dose, so the entry price is not the price you will end up paying
✗The Wegovy pen intro rate of $199 applies to new patients only and for two months, after which it is $349
✗Monthly subscribers are not refunded for months already paid, even if unused
✗Because pricing depends on insurance status, pharmacy and dose, there is no single figure you can plan around before signing up
✗This is a general healthcare marketplace, so the weight-loss programme sits alongside urgent care and prescription refills rather than being a dedicated speciality service
