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

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Itemized price tables published in the terms for every product and plan: Flat Program semaglutide injection at $199/mo, dropping to $169, $159 and $149 on 3, 6 and 12-month bundles (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, as weekly injections or as a chewing gum formulation - a genuinely unusual needle-free option
✓No separate membership fee stacked on top of the medication price
✓Free shipping with 1-2 day delivery claimed
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you on medical grounds
✓Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
✓The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
✓Named legal entity, published support email and a working phone number - support@joinem.co and (347) 269-4270

Cons

✗The advertised price is not the price in the contract. The landing page sells 'flat locked in monthly pricing' at $69/mo for semaglutide and $119/mo for tirzepatide. Neither figure appears anywhere in the terms
✗The terms' promotional Start Program is $99 for month one and then $299/month from month two for semaglutide injection, and $149 then $399/month for tirzepatide - four times the advertised rate
✗The cheapest genuinely flat rate in the terms is $199/mo for semaglutide injection, almost three times the $69 on the landing page
✗Two different cancellation deadlines appear across the same policy set: the refund policy requires 72 hours' notice before your billing date, the terms require at least 5 days before the end of your prescription period
✗All sales are final once medication is ordered, medical consultation fees are never refundable, and bundled plans are not refunded for unused months
✗The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives your right to join a class action
✗The countdown timer warning that 'price increases in...' was displaying 00:00:00:00 while the offer was still being advertised
✗'(4.8) Excellent!' and '125,000+ happy customers' carry no source; Trustpilot showed 3.6 from 3,906 reviews
✗The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure sits in the terms, while the landing page calls the treatment 'the proven way to lose 15% of your body weight fast'
