Sesame Care Pros and Cons
What We Like
- +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
What Could Be Better
- −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
