Pros & Cons Compared

Mochi Health

Pros

+Flat $99/mo semaglutide at ALL dose levels, saves $100-200/mo vs competitors who charge more at higher doses
+4 semaglutide formats: injection, oral tablet, oral drops, and microdose, the most delivery options of any platform
+Registered dietitians included alongside physicians, not just medication, but nutritional support
+Both compounded and brand-name medications available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus)

Cons

−Separate $79/mo membership fee makes the real cost ~$178/mo for semaglutide, not the advertised $99
−No refunds for payments made over 30 days ago, limited consumer protection window
−Relatively new company (founded 2022) with less track record than established platforms

Sesame Care

Pros

+Success by Sesame program launched 2026, $59/mo on a 3/6/12-month plan, includes labs, unlimited messaging, and provider choice; 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
+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
