Quick verdict
Sesame Care is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Sesame is a cash-pay marketplace, not a program. Pay one fee, see one doctor, leave with a script. Cheapest path to a real branded GLP-1 prescription if you can fill it elsewhere. Zero ongoing care. That is the point and the limit.
That said, Found wins on specific dimensions. Found has the broadest medication catalog of any program here, spanning branded GLP-1s, compounded options and Lilly's newly approved oral pill, Foundayo (orforglipron). The 12-month commitment required for the lowest price is the catch.

When to choose Found
Best for complex clinical workups
Patients whose obesity medicine clinician has flagged a non-standard medication path (multiple drug classes, off-label combinations or 503A-compounded options that other programs have exited).
Found wins on medication options and runs $60/mo cheaper than Sesame Care at the entry tier ($169 vs $229). Over a year that's $720 you keep. The caveat: Patients new to GLP-1s who want a simple month-to-month commitment. The 12-month plan required for the lowest price is the most punitive structure short of WeightWatchers Clinic. Note also: Subject to ongoing Lilly compounded-tirzepatide enforcement risk
When to choose Sesame Care
Best for one-off self-directed Rx
Self-directed buyers who want a one-off prescription and will manage refills, sourcing and titration on their own.
Sesame Care wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Anyone wanting coaching, dietitian access, ongoing accountability or an integrated medication supply chain.
If cost is your main filter
Found is the cheaper monthly: $169 all-in vs $229 for Sesame Care. That's $60 a month or $720a 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 $180 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
Found (12-mo lock-in) and Sesame Care (month-to-month) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Sesame Care's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
