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, WeightWatchers Clinic wins on specific dimensions. WeightWatchers acquired Sequence and rebranded it Clinic. The clinical care is well-regarded; the 12-month commitment with no self-serve cancellation is the most punitive lock-in in the chart and the dominant source of negative member sentiment.

If cost is your main filter
WeightWatchers Clinic is the cheaper monthly: $74 all-in vs $208 for Costco / Success by Sesame. That's $134 a month or $1,608a 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 $402 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.
