Pros & Cons Compared

GoodRx Care

Pros

+2026 subscription rewrite, $119/mo standard membership with medication priced among the lowest on the market
+Wegovy/Ozempic intro pricing ($199/mo for first 2 fills) is market-leading for brand-name access
+Oral Wegovy pill available at $149-199/mo, one of the cheapest oral semaglutide routes
+Insurance accepted, GoodRx's integration with savings cards can stack with coverage

Cons

−Model changed from pay-per-visit to subscription, users expecting à-la-carte pricing should double-check current terms
−Compounded GLP-1s are de-emphasized on current marketing, may no longer be available
−Subscription model means ongoing monthly fee even in maintenance months
−Follow-up clinical care is still basic compared to dedicated GLP-1 platforms

Sesame Care

Pros

+Success by Sesame program launched 2026, $59/mo on a 3/6/12-month plan, bundles labs, unlimited messaging, and provider choice
+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
+Original pay-per-visit model still available at $25/consultation for users who just need a prescriber

Cons

−Two distinct products (pay-per-visit vs the Success membership) sit side by side, so decide which you're buying before checkout
−The $59/mo Success by Sesame rate requires a 3-month minimum commitment; month-to-month is available at $99/mo if you don't want to commit
−Compounded meds are de-emphasized in the current marketing, the platform now leads with FDA-approved brand-name paths
−A marketplace rather than a concierge, expect less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms
