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

−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

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

−$135 membership fee on top of medication cost makes cash-pay total ~$286/mo for semaglutide — above average
−Young company (founded 2023) with a relatively small review base — less track record than established platforms
−Prescription products are non-refundable for any reason once ordered
