Short answer: Sesame Care scores higher on our rubric, 7.9/10 against 2.4/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Sesame Care beats Luvo Health overall, scoring 7.9/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Sesame Care is published $99/mo; total not verified. Choose Luvo Health for people who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide alongside longevity, nad or hormone care from one clinic, and who will weigh the 4-week price against the 12, 24 and 52-week totals before committing. Choose Sesame Care for users who want cheap fda-approved brand-name glp-1 access ($149-349/mo wegovy and zepbound via success by sesame), or insured patients who just need a prescriber.

Sesame Care

#5 of 54
7.9/10

Telehealth marketplace with two routes to a GLP-1 prescription: one-off video visits that start at $34 on the homepage, and the Success by Sesame subscription, which the weight loss program page prices at $59/mo on a 12-month commitment or $99 billed every 28 days with no commitment. It coordinates FDA-approved brand-name medication only, including Foundayo (orforglipron), the Wegovy pen and pill, and Zepbound. Medication is billed separately.

Pros & Cons Compared

Luvo Health

Pros

  • +Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
  • +Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
  • +Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
  • +Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
  • +Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

  • Brand pricing is the highest we track: on its pricing page Ozempic is $1,299 and Zepbound $1,399 per 4-week cycle, against NovoCare self-pay at $349, and neither brand qualifies for the longer-plan discounts the compounded products get
  • Prices are headlined per week and billed per 4-week cycle, so a 4-week charge lands 13 times a year rather than 12; the 12, 24 and 52-week plans are priced as one total instead, so compare totals rather than weekly rates
  • The cheapest weekly rates need a full year paid as one total: on its pricing page semaglutide injection is $45 a week only as a $2,327 52-week plan, and tirzepatide $67 a week only as a $3,497 52-week plan
  • No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
  • Four compounding pharmacies are named in the terms, but which one fills your prescription is disclosed only in your order confirmation, so you cannot pick the pharmacy before you buy
  • Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
  • Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted

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
  • +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.
  • A marketplace rather than a concierge, expect less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms

Our Verdict

Sesame Care edges out Luvo Health with a score of 7.9/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Sesame Care is published $99/mo; total not verified. Sesame Care accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Luvo Health offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
