Sesame Care GLP-1 Review

About Sesame Care

Telehealth marketplace with two routes to a GLP-1 prescription: one-off video visits that start at $34 on the homepage, and the Success by Sesame subscription, which the weight loss program page prices at $59/mo on a 12-month commitment or $99 billed every 28 days with no commitment. It coordinates FDA-approved brand-name medication only, including Foundayo (orforglipron), the Wegovy pen and pill, and Zepbound. Medication is billed separately.

What they offer

Why consider it

  • 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
  • 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

Worth knowing

  • 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, and the no-commitment plan is $99 billed every 28 days, which is 13 charges a year.
  • There is no compounded option. Sesame states that compounded semaglutide is not currently available through it, so every route here is brand-name and the medication is billed on top of the program fee.

Trustpilot
4.5/5
3,100 reviews

Sesame Care holds a high Trustpilot TrustScore of 4.5/5 across roughly 3,100+ reviews, but the headline number carries caveats: Trustpilot has flagged the profile for a review-solicitation bias that "can compromise reliability," and a hard 12% of reviews are 1-star. The most common complaints across Trustpilot, BBB and Reddit are slow customer service, difficulty cancelling, surprise 28-day billing cycles, and inconsistent provider/dosing quality.

Why we reached this verdict

Telehealth marketplace with two routes to a GLP-1 prescription: one-off video visits that start at $34 on the homepage, and the Success by Sesame subscription, which the weight loss program page prices at $59/mo on a 12-month commitment or $99 billed every 28 days with no commitment. It coordinates FDA-approved brand-name medication only, including Foundayo (orforglipron), the Wegovy pen and pill, and Zepbound. Medication is billed separately.

What makes it different: The broadest FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 menu among low-cost telehealth options, Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, and Foundayo, coordinated through the Success by Sesame membership at $59/mo on a 12-month commitment plus medication.

Sesame Care Pros and Cons

What We Like
  • +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
  • +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
  • +The pay-per-visit route is still there, with visits starting at $34, for users who just need a prescriber
What Could Be Better
  • −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, and the no-commitment plan is $99 billed every 28 days, which is 13 charges a year.
  • −There is no compounded option. Sesame states that compounded semaglutide is not currently available through it, so every route here is brand-name and the medication is billed on top of the program fee.
  • −A marketplace rather than a concierge, expect less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms

What the doctors say about GLP-1 medications

Independent, sourced clinical context on the medication class, not a comment on this provider.

“Patients on both medications experienced substantial weight loss, and we observed no difference in the risk of gastrointestinal adverse events. In addition to effectiveness, factors like medication availability and insurance coverage will likely play a role in deciding which medication to initiate.”

Our reading

Sesame Care holds a high Trustpilot TrustScore of 4.5/5 across roughly 3,100+ reviews, but the headline number carries caveats: Trustpilot has flagged the profile for a review-solicitation bias that "can compromise reliability," and a hard 12% of reviews are 1-star. The most common complaints across Trustpilot, BBB and Reddit are slow customer service, difficulty cancelling, surprise 28-day billing cycles, and inconsistent provider/dosing quality.

What people actually say

Reddit: Users call Sesame legit and praise transparent pricing and being able to choose your own provider, but recurring gripes are inconsistent/variable dosing, slow customer service, hard cancellations, and the surprise 28-day billing cycle.

How Sesame Care works

1

Book a Visit or Join the Program

Book a one-off video visit, which the homepage prices from $34, or start Success by Sesame from the weight loss program page. The weight loss questionnaire funnels into the subscription route.

2

Get Your Prescription

The provider evaluates your eligibility and, if appropriate, writes the prescription. Sesame's own page says you can pick it up same day at your preferred local pharmacy or opt for home delivery.

3

Pay for Medication Separately

Medication is billed apart from the program fee. Cash prices run from $149/mo for the Wegovy pill or Foundayo up to $349/mo for the Wegovy pen after the two-month intro period, and your provider handles prior authorization if you are using insurance.

Medications available

Common questions

Does the subscription include medication?+
No. The program page states that medication costs are not included in the subscription price and vary with your insurance status and pharmacy. Cash prices start at $149/mo for the Wegovy pill or Foundayo, so the cheapest realistic all-in is about $208/mo on the 12-month plan and about $248/mo month-to-month.
Does a single visit include medication?+
No. A one-off visit, which the homepage prices from $34, buys the consultation only. Any prescription is filled and paid for separately at a pharmacy, and Sesame does not offer a compounded route.
Can I use Sesame Care for ongoing refills?+
Yes. You can book follow-up visits as needed, and the homepage says visits start at $34. Success by Sesame is the subscription alternative, with a dedicated provider and unlimited messaging, billed in advance every 28 days on the monthly plan.
More questions (4)
What if I don't have insurance?+
You can still book a visit from $34 and pay cash for brand-name medication, which starts at $149/mo for the Wegovy pill or Foundayo and rises with dose. Sesame does not offer a compounded route. If you'd rather have one medication-included bill, compare all programs by verified price instead of defaulting to one provider. MEDVi is one option, but its $179 first month rises to $299 for refills and its current record includes a BBB F and FDA warning letter #721455.
How does this compare to subscription platforms?+
Sesame splits the bill in two: a program fee or a visit fee, then medication paid separately at the pharmacy. Most subscription platforms bundle consultation, medication and shipping into one monthly figure. If your insurance covers the drug, Sesame is usually the cheaper route. If you are paying cash for everything, add the two lines together before you compare.
What do verified reviews say about Sesame Care?+
Sesame Care holds Trustpilot: 4.5 across 3,100 reviews; BBB: A+. We re-check these against the platforms directly rather than taking a provider's own marketing figure, and where the platforms disagree we show all of them. Our own score for Sesame Care is 7.9/10, set by a published methodology that a provider cannot pay to change.
Can I cancel Sesame Care, and what are the terms?+
Sesame Care states: 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). Cancel before your next billing date rather than on it, and keep written confirmation.
