Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Among the lowest advertised prices in the category: compounded semaglutide from $88/month and tirzepatide from $157/month (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A flat-price promise - 'Same price forever. No price increases ever' - with no separate membership fee stacked on top
✓The monthly rate is stated to include the prescription, unlimited telehealth visits and free 1-2 day shipping
✓Injection and oral formats both offered
✓If a provider medically disqualifies you, Sunlight refunds unused months and the video visit fee
✓Cancel anytime, with no minimum term advertised
✓Accepts HSA/FSA as well as major cards
✓Will match an equivalent dose if you are transferring from another provider, via prescription upload and a clinician appointment

Cons

✗Sunlight describes its compounded products as 'clinically proven to support weight loss'. Compounded drugs have not been through the trials that phrase implies, and the FDA has issued warning letters to other telehealth firms over claims of this type
✗The '(4.9) Excellent!' badge has no source. Trustpilot, the only public platform we found, showed 4.3 from 183 reviews - not the 100,000+ customer base implied elsewhere on the page
✗The scarcity banner is broken: it reads 'Only Spots Left!' with no number, which suggests the counter is decorative rather than real
✗'Starting at $88' has no published terms - the page never says whether that rate needs a 3, 6 or 12-month commitment, or what a month-to-month plan costs
✗The page carries a '$140 Off Today' urgency banner alongside the claim of no price increases ever
✗Testimonial copy follows the same template as several other compounded GLP-1 funnels, down to the phrasing 'When change felt impossible, Sunlight helped'
✗'We've been featured in' appears with no named publications or links in the page text
✗No BBB record and no published phone number, so there is little independent history to check

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
