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

orforglipron

Pros

✓The first and only FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss that can be taken at any time of day with no food or water restrictions, approved 1 April 2026
✓In the ATTAIN-1 trial, participants on the highest dose who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4% of body weight) against 2.2 pounds (0.9%) on placebo
✓Counting everyone randomised regardless of whether they finished, the average was still 25 pounds (11.1%) versus 5.3 pounds (2.1%) on placebo - Lilly published both numbers rather than only the flattering one
✓A once-daily tablet, so there is no injection, no needle disposal and no refrigeration to organise
✓Self-pay pricing is published up front at $149 per month for the lowest dose through LillyDirect, with free home delivery
✓Eligible people with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 per month with the Foundayo savings card
✓Eligible Medicare Part D patients may be able to get it for $50 per month from as early as 1 July 2026 - a rarity in this category
✓Lilly reported reductions in waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure across all doses
✓It is a small-molecule (non-peptide) GLP-1, which is why it can be manufactured as a pill rather than an injection

Cons

✗Weight loss is meaningfully lower than the best injectables. 12.4% at the top dose sits below tirzepatide territory, so if maximum weight loss is the goal an injection still wins
✗It carries the class boxed warning: it may cause thyroid tumours including thyroid cancer, and must not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
✗Should not be used alongside another GLP-1 receptor agonist
✗Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, heartburn, gas and hair loss
✗Serious risks in the label include pancreatitis, dehydration leading to kidney problems, gallbladder problems, severe allergic reactions and aspiration risk under anaesthesia
✗Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established
✗$149 is the price of the lowest dose only - higher doses cost more, and the $25 and $50 figures depend on insurance eligibility rather than being available to everyone
✗Very new to market, so there is no long-term real-world safety and adherence record yet
