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, Form Health wins on specific dimensions. Form is the clinical-quality benchmark of the category. Every patient gets a board-certified obesity medicine physician plus a registered dietitian, branded GLP-1 first, compounded only as backup. Slower and pricier than the flat-rate crowd. Published outcomes data backs it up.

When to choose Form Health
Best for insurance plus real obesity docs
Patients with insurance coverage who want real obesity-medicine care and branded Wegovy or Zepbound.
Form Health wins on medication options on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Cash-pay buyers chasing the lowest sticker price or fastest async script.
When to choose Costco / Success by Sesame
Best for Costco members
Existing Costco members who want discounted self-pay branded GLP-1 with light telehealth care attached.
Costco / Success by Sesame wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms, onboarding experience, member reviews and runs $116/mo cheaper than Form Health at the entry tier ($208 vs $324). Over a year that's $1,392 you keep. The caveat: Anyone who is not a Costco member, wants a compounded option, or wants a long member-review track record.
If cost is your main filter
Costco / Success by Sesame is the cheaper monthly: $208 all-in vs $324 for Form Health. That's $116 a month or $1,392a 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 $348 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
Form Health (month-to-month) and Costco / Success by Sesame (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.
