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, Hone Health wins on specific dimensions. Hone Health targets men's hormone optimization (testosterone, semaglutide, peptides) with an at-home blood-draw model. GLP-1 added in 2024 as part of the metabolic-optimization product line. Strong for the testosterone+GLP-1 stack; less obesity-medicine depth than Form Health.

When to choose Hone Health
Best for men's hormone plus GLP-1 stack
Men interested in combined hormone-optimization and weight loss. Patients who want at-home blood draws and broader metabolic protocols beyond standard obesity care.
Hone Health wins on member reviews and runs $23/mo cheaper than Costco / Success by Sesame at the entry tier ($185 vs $208). Over a year that's $276 you keep. The caveat: Patients seeking obesity-medicine specialization, women's-specific needs or the cheapest cash-pay path. Note also: Hone markets compounded peptides beyond GLP-1; the broader peptide-marketing landscape has higher 2025-2026 regulatory exposure than GLP-1 alone
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 on the dimensional scoring. 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
Hone Health is the cheaper monthly: $185 all-in vs $208 for Costco / Success by Sesame. That's $23 a month or $276a 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 $69 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
Hone 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.
