Quick verdict
Mochi Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Flat monthly pricing, transparent compounded sourcing and no lock-in. Best fit for cash-pay patients who want predictable monthly billing.
That said, Sesame Care wins on specific dimensions. 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.

When to choose Mochi Health
Best for flat predictable cash-pay
Cash-pay patients who want predictable monthly pricing and a compounded GLP-1 path.
Mochi Health wins on pricing transparency and runs $51/mo cheaper than Sesame Care at the entry tier ($178 vs $229). Over a year that's $612 you keep. The caveat: Patients who specifically want FDA-approved branded Wegovy or Zepbound through insurance. Note also: Active in Lilly's 2025-2026 lawsuit against compounded tirzepatide pharmacies
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 cancellation terms 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
Mochi Health is the cheaper monthly: $178 all-in vs $229 for Sesame Care. That's $51 a month or $612a 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 $153 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
Mochi Health (month-to-month) and Sesame Care (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.
