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

✓Offers FDA-approved brand-name options alongside compounded ones: the Wegovy pill, Wegovy injection and Zepbound injection are all listed at '$99 membership + medication cost'
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 from over 14,000 reviews, a far larger and better sample than most competitors in this category
✓Free dietitian visits and care coaching are advertised as included, and the program is listed as HSA/FSA eligible
✓Both injectable and daily dissolvable tablet formats are offered
✓Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you, and a full refund if you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services
✓The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
✓Published cancellation route by email or in-portal chat, with a named support address

Cons

✗The FDA issued MEDVi a warning letter on February 20, 2026 for misbranding its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, including for labelling vials as though MEDVi compounded them when it does not, and for 'same active ingredient as Wegovy' style claims the agency said imply FDA approval. This is the most serious regulatory finding against any provider on this site
✗We could not verify what the compounded plans actually cost. The affiliate landing page renders its own price placeholders unsubstituted - the page literally reads 'Only ${seminject_sale_price}' and 'Starting at ${semtab_sale_price}' in eight places
✗The only price that does render, $99, is a membership fee that explicitly excludes the medication cost, so it is not comparable to the all-in prices quoted by other providers
✗The same page claims 'No membership or hidden fees!' while listing '$99 Membership + Medication Cost' for the brand-name options a few lines below
✗Patient counts contradict each other on one page: 'Join 500,000+ MEDVi patients' at the top, '10,000+ Patients Agree' further down
✗The customer testimonials are word-for-word identical to those published on TrimRx's landing page under the label 'Verified TrimRX Customer', so at least one set is not what it claims to be
✗Monthly subscribers get no refund for the month in which they cancel or for any prior month - the policy states this in capitals
✗The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives class action and jury trial rights
✗Cancellation must reach the company at least 72 hours before the next billing date or the next charge still goes through
