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

✓Trustpilot rating of 4.8 across 5,272 reviews, an unusually strong independent signal for this category
✓Publishes a customer phone number, +1 (888) 979-9580, and a support email rather than hiding behind a portal
✓Full refund available any time before a licensed provider completes your prescription
✓Compounded injectable semaglutide from $199/month and tirzepatide, as tablets or injection, from $299/month, with microdose options (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Carefully separates compounded from brand-name in its own disclosures instead of implying the two are the same
✓Buy-now-pay-later through Affirm with the APR disclosed openly - the site gives a worked example of $800 split into 12 payments of $72.21 at 15% APR
✓A mobile app for meal plans, medication tracking and weight logging, plus unlimited provider messaging and free shipping
✓A substantial clinical content library covering practical issues like GLP-1s with levothyroxine, gallbladder pain and surgery timing

Cons

✗A '90-day money-back guarantee' is advertised in a banner on every page, but the site's own /money-back-guarantee link returns a 404 reading 'Page not found... Probably the link is broken'. We could not find the terms of that guarantee anywhere
✗The hero promises 'FDA-approved Wegovy, Foundayo and other GLP-1s', yet both the Wegovy Pill and Foundayo Pill are marked 'Unavailable' in the product list directly below
✗Pricing is at the higher end for compounded product: $199/month for semaglutide and $299/month for tirzepatide, where several rivals advertise under $150
✗'Lose up to 14.9% of your body weight' takes the figure from the STEP 1 trial of branded semaglutide and applies it to a compounded preparation that has not been trialled
✗The published refund window closes as soon as a provider completes your prescription, which can be the same day you sign up
✗A pop-up offers 'up to 43% off' without stating what plan or commitment unlocks that discount
✗No BBB profile or complaint history to cross-check the Trustpilot score against
✗No published support hours, so the phone line's availability is unknown
