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

Pros

  • Efficacy claims are footnoted to published, citable research rather than internal data - two DOIs are given directly on the homepage
  • Reports an average of 14% body weight loss over four months in a studied patient group
  • Offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on the programme
  • The programme is genuinely comprehensive: medical treatment, virtual clinical care, dietitian-led meal plans, tracking tools and a patient community
  • Backed by Eucalyptus, an established digital health operator, rather than an anonymous brand

Cons

  • This service is not available in the United States. Juniper operates in Australia, prices are in Australian dollars, weights are in kilograms and payment options are Australian. If you are reading this from the US, you cannot use it - see the US providers reviewed elsewhere on this site
  • Pricing shown (from A$349) is in Australian dollars and does not convert to a meaningful US figure
  • Australian regulatory oversight (TGA, AHPRA) is different from the US FDA framework, so US regulatory comparisons do not carry across
  • Because the audience for this site is US-based, we have rated it low for usefulness here rather than for quality of care - the clinic itself appears well run
