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, 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.

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, onboarding experience, member reviews and runs $189/mo cheaper than GoodRx for Weight Loss at the entry tier ($229 vs $418). Over a year that's $2,268 you keep. The caveat: Anyone wanting coaching, dietitian access, ongoing accountability or an integrated medication supply chain.
When to choose GoodRx for Weight Loss
Best for published two-part pricing
Buyers who want transparent, published cash pricing on both care and branded medication, from a familiar drug-pricing brand.
GoodRx for Weight Loss wins on medication options on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Anyone wanting a compounded option, an all-in single price, or a long member-review track record.
If cost is your main filter
Sesame Care is the cheaper monthly: $229 all-in vs $418 for GoodRx for Weight Loss. That's $189 a month or $2,268a 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 $567 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
Sesame Care (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.
