Pros & Cons Compared

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

Zealthy

Pros

+Dedicated insurance coordinators handle prior authorizations, potentially bringing brand-name GLP-1 costs to $25/mo
+Multi-month supply options (3, 6, or 12 months), unique convenience most monthly-shipping competitors can't match
+Both compounded and brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound) available with clinician-guided selection
+LegitScript certified with 4.5-star Review.io rating

Cons

−The $135 membership stacks on medication cost, so cash-pay semaglutide totals ~$286/mo, above average. The math works when you use the insurance coordination; cash payers should compare flat-rate platforms first.
−Young company (founded 2023) with a relatively small review base and less track record than established platforms. Confirm the coordination promise against your own insurance plan before enrolling.
−Prescription products are non-refundable once ordered, for any reason. Double-check dose and supply length before checkout.

Our Verdict

Sesame Care edges out Zealthy with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.2/10. If budget is your priority, Sesame Care starts at $99/mo compared to Zealthy's $286/mo.

Choose Sesame Care if you want: 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. Choose Zealthy if you want: insured users who want dedicated coordinators handling prior authorizations for brand-name glp-1s (potentially $25/mo).
