What to watch for with Sesame Care and Wellorithm

Sesame Care

  • 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. For the $99 no-commitment plan, one FAQ says monthly and another says every 28 days. Confirm the interval and number of charges before budgeting for a year.
Sesame Care's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • 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
  • Published medication-only offers include eligible Wegovy pen starter doses at $199 for two months, then $349; the Wegovy pill and Zepbound KwikPen have dose-specific prices
  • Listed oral brands include Wegovy and Foundayo, with medication starting at $149 for eligible doses; the care fee is separate
  • Provider choice, ongoing video visits, messaging and app tools for weight, dose and side-effect tracking are described in the program

More to watch for

  • Sesame says compounded semaglutide is not currently available. Its published GLP-1 menu is brand-name; medication is billed on top of the program or visit fee.
  • Providers can set higher fees than the advertised program rate. Confirm the selected clinician's price and support arrangements before enrolling
Medicines listed
  • Wegovy (brand-name injection pen)
  • Wegovy (brand-name oral pill)
  • Ozempic (brand-name injection)
  • Zepbound (brand-name KwikPen/vial)
  • Mounjaro (brand-name injection)
  • Rybelsus (brand-name oral)
  • Foundayo (brand-name orforglipron oral, FDA-approved April 2026)
Insurance
Lists insurance support. Confirm coverage for your plan.
Consultation
Visits start at $34 on the homepage, with some services listed from $36; visits are included in the Success by Sesame subscription (verified 2026-09-03)
Shipping
Not published. A shipping cost is not shown on the site's weight loss program, medication or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03). Prescriptions are picked up at a local pharmacy or sent by home delivery, so any delivery charge comes from the pharmacy
States
Not confirmed: we could not verify which states Sesame Care serves. Confirm your state during sign-up.
Cancellation
You can self-cancel Success by Sesame at any time, and cancellation must happen before the next billing cycle starts to avoid the next charge. A full refund applies only if you cancel at least 3 hours before the initial visit, no refund is issued for the first month once that visit has happened, and fees for previous months are not refundable (verified 2026-09-03)

Wellorithm

  • The October 30 terms name Wellorithm Inc. and give a Miami legal notice address. That disclosure does not independently verify incorporation, ownership, founders or a medical director. The October 8, 2026 review did not verify which named clinician oversees this GLP-1 program or their program-specific role
  • October 22 pricing records $247 semaglutide or $349 tirzepatide renewals. Current published terms specify calendar-month injection billing; confirm your selected order's current charge, taxes and next payment date
Wellorithm's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One price at every dose: the pricing page states the medication price is the same across the semaglutide range of 0.25 to 2.4 mg and the tirzepatide range of 2.5 to 15 mg (checked October 16, 2026)
  • Conditional weight-loss refund guarantee: if expressly included in the accepted offer, eligible new customers losing less than 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of adherence may request up to four months of fees actually paid; verification and other conditions apply
  • The pricing page shows your first payment and your renewal side by side: $147 then $247 per renewal for semaglutide, $249 then $349 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping included
  • Short online eligibility quiz, virtual consultation, 24/7 support availability claimed
  • 23,000+ reviews and 4.9-star rating reported (volume is unusually high for this market segment, verify on independent third-party sources before relying on it)
  • Free, discreet shipping is included in the advertised injection plan

More to watch for

  • Request compounded GLP-1 renewal cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed charge through your account or by email, and keep the effective-date confirmation. Later legal rights and stoppable orders still apply; cancellation alone does not create a current-term or prorated refund
  • The guarantee must be expressly included in your accepted offer. Its conditions include new-customer eligibility, treatment adherence and no other weight-loss medication in the preceding year as disclosed in the offer. Weight verification is required; approved refunds cover up to four months of fees actually paid and are processed within 30 days after verification
  • The historical Ozempic and Zepbound pages showed $1,119 in the hero and $1,199 in a pricing card, alongside an internally inconsistent plan footnote. Neither that footnote nor the conflicting prices establishes a valid dose or total bill. Obtain the exact medication, dose, term and upfront charge before paying

States
All 50 states plus DC; no service outside the United States. The pricing page, FAQ, program page and Terms all say 50 states plus DC (checked 2026-10-16)
Cancellation
The October 30 terms, checked November 4, 2026, allow renewal cancellation through your account or contact@wellorithm.com, with confirmation of the effective date. Request compounded GLP-1 cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed renewal charge; later legal rights and any charge or unfulfilled order that can still be stopped remain protected. If no prescription follows the initial evaluation, the medication amount is not charged or is refunded; only a separately itemized and disclosed before payment, earned for a completed evaluation and lawfully chargeable consultation fee may be retained. You may request order cancellation before dispensing or irreversible fulfillment. Cancellation does not itself refund a properly charged current term or create a prorated refund; eligibility, guarantee, billing-error and legal remedies remain. Specific accepted order terms control commercial conflicts. The weight-loss guarantee applies only if expressly included in your accepted offer and all eligibility conditions are met
