Pros & Cons Compared

Ivim Health

Pros

+$75/mo starting price is among the lowest in the market for a program with actual provider oversight
+Bi-weekly provider check-ins included — more frequent than most platforms at this price point
+Personalized titration schedules based on individual tolerance, not cookie-cutter dose escalation
+Both brand-name and compounded available, with the option to switch based on response

Cons

−The $75/mo starting price increases with dose — expect $150-200/mo at maintenance doses
−No insurance billing, and the cost increase at higher doses isn't always clearly communicated upfront

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

−Membership model adds complexity — two distinct products (pay-per-visit vs Success membership) can be confusing
−Success by Sesame requires a 3-month minimum commitment to hit the $59/mo rate
−Compounded meds are de-emphasized on the current marketing — focus has shifted to FDA-approved brand-name paths
−Less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms like Willow or Eden Health
