Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The mandatory program fee is shown next to the medication price rather than buried in a footnote: compounded semaglutide from $75/mo and tirzepatide from $133/mo, each plus a $74.99/mo program fee (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.9 from 38,826 reviews - the largest and strongest independent signal of any brand we have reviewed
✓Efficacy claims are sourced to Ivim's own published study, with the comparator spelled out and an explicit note that it was 'Not a head-to-head study'
✓The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure is stated plainly alongside the results claims rather than in a distant footer
✓The GLP-1 ID model offers weekly provider check-ins and weekly dose adjustments, which is more active titration support than most competitors provide
✓Brand-name options are available too - Wegovy pill, Foundayo pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and liraglutide
✓Plan lengths are selectable at checkout (1, 2, 4 or 6 months) rather than defaulting to a single long commitment
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Mississippi and Washington

Cons

✗The $74.99 monthly program fee effectively doubles the cost of the entry semaglutide plan, taking a '$75/mo' headline to about $150 all-in
✗The advertised 'starting at' rates depend on plan length, and the default 'Jumpstart' option is a 4-month commitment - so the cheapest prices are not available month to month
✗The headline result, that patients 'lost an average of 46% more weight over 68 weeks', comes from Ivim's own study rather than independent research, and the comparator was diet, exercise and counselling rather than another GLP-1 provider
✗Add-on benefits are quantified with unverifiable price tags - '1:1 Virtual Holistic Consultations $850 value' and 'Master classes, group coaching & community $500 value'
✗The weight-loss calculator produces a specific projection (41.8 lbs on the default settings) that no individual can rely on
✗The supplement catalogue is very large - collagen, NMN, creatine, colostrum, berberine and more - so there is a persistent upsell layer around the medical service
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint history to set against the Trustpilot score

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
