Trade-offs
Strengths and cautions compared
Found
Pros
- +Active insurance coordination, Found contacts your insurer and reports which GLP-1s are covered, prior auth requirements, and estimated copay
- +10+ medication options including both compounded and brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound, Wegovy pill), the widest formulary of any platform
- +With insurance the plan starts at $99/mo on a 12 month term, below its own $169/mo cash figure, plus a copay Found puts at around $30 for most members
1 more documented strengths
- +Most members start treatment within one week of completing the health questionnaire
Cons
- −The advertised prices need a 12 month plan paid up front. Found's pricing page lists $169/mo cash or $99/mo insured on that plan, and $289/mo cash or $199/mo insured if you pay month to month
- −The insurance route adds steps compared with flat cash-pay platforms, and the copay Found quotes at around $30 for most members is charged on top of the plan price, not instead of it
- −Compounded medication availability may shift with FDA enforcement changes; the 10+ medication formulary lets your clinician move you to a brand-name option if it does
Sesame Care
Pros
- +Success by Sesame is $59/mo on the 12-month commitment and includes provider visits, unlimited messaging and provider choice; lab work is covered only at Quest Diagnostics and not in AZ, HI, ND, NJ, NY, OK, RI, SD or WY, where lab fees are extra; medication is separate
- +Brand-name cash pricing is competitive, Wegovy pen $199 intro / $349 ongoing, Zepbound vial $299, Wegovy pill $149
- +Foundayo (Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1) available as of April 2026 at $149/mo
1 more documented strengths
- +The pay-per-visit route is still there, with visits starting at $34, for users who just need a prescriber
Cons
- −Sesame runs three separate routes under one brand: the Success by Sesame weight loss subscription, EverydayRx for diabetes, and one-off visits from $34. Check which one you are signing up for before you pay.
- −The $59/mo Success by Sesame rate applies only on a 12-month commitment. The 3-month plan works out near $79/mo and the 6-month near $69/mo from the savings the FAQ publishes, and the no-commitment plan is $99 billed every 28 days, which is 13 charges a year.
- −There is no compounded option. Sesame states that compounded semaglutide is not currently available through it, so every route here is brand-name and the medication is billed on top of the program fee.
1 more documented cautions
- −A marketplace rather than a concierge, expect less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms

Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Found is published $148/mo; total not verified; Sesame Care is published $99/mo; total not verified. Found offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
