Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Compounded injectable semaglutide from $149/month and compounded tirzepatide from $199/month on auto-refill, with a 30-day tirzepatide supply listed at $325 without it (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Explains what compounded medication actually is, and why it is not FDA-approved, instead of burying a disclaimer - the clearest patient-facing explanation of the distinction we found
✓Free online MD visit, free shipping and free follow-up care are all included in the price
✓Damaged or defective orders can be reported within two weeks, far more workable than the 24 to 48-hour windows most competitors impose
✓Publishes a support email, a street address and actual support hours rather than a contact form alone
✓Oral semaglutide is offered alongside injectables, plus sermorelin for those who want a non-GLP-1 option
✓Cancel anytime, and the pricing page states plainly that medical necessity is required rather than implying everyone qualifies
✓Separate men's and women's weight-loss pathways, and a broad catalogue covering hair, skin, sexual health and menopause

Cons

✗The refund policy was last modified on 21 September 2021, years before Strut added its GLP-1 line, so the document governing your money predates the product you are buying
✗No returns or refunds once medication leaves the pharmacy, and no refund for cancellations received after the pharmacy has processed the order
✗The tirzepatide page places 'Just $6.63' beside a '30 DAY SUPPLY $325' heading. The $6.63 figure is the daily rate for the $199 auto-refill price, not for the $325 supply shown next to it
✗'As low as' pricing is tied to committing to auto-refill, and the site does not show what a single non-recurring order costs for semaglutide
✗There is no independent review signal at all - no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file - so nothing external corroborates the service quality
✗GLP-1 sits inside a large catalogue spanning hair, skin and sexual health, so the weight-loss programme gets less dedicated clinical content than a specialist provider offers
✗Support runs weekdays 9am-5pm ET only, with no evening, weekend or phone coverage published
✗Compounded products carry the usual caveat that they have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality

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
