Quick verdict
Costco / Success by Sesame is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Costco bundles Success by Sesame care with discounted self-pay branded GLP-1 at Costco Pharmacy. The medication price is genuinely low for a brand-name pen: the Wegovy or Ozempic injection is $349/mo self-pay, with care from $59/mo on the annual plan. The catch is a paid Costco membership, and the bundle has no member outcome record yet.
That said, GoodRx for Weight Loss wins on specific dimensions. GoodRx turned its drug-pricing reach into a real telehealth program, with branded GLP-1 priced separately and published upfront. The subscription is $119/mo at the standard rate (it opened at a $39/mo introductory rate through January 2026). Medication runs separately: the injection is $199/mo for the first two fills then $349/mo ongoing, and the oral Wegovy pill is from $149/mo. Ongoing all-in about $468/mo. Branded only, billed in two parts, with no member outcome record yet.

If cost is your main filter
Costco / Success by Sesame is the cheaper monthly: $208 all-in vs $418 for GoodRx for Weight Loss. That's $210 a month or $2,520a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $630 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Costco / Success by Sesame (month-to-month) and GoodRx for Weight Loss (month-to-month) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
