Verdict
Pros

- You can cancel month to month. Only the cheaper rates ask you to commit.
- Same-day video visits with clinicians on the platform.
- You name the pharmacy, so nothing ties you in.

Anyone who wants coaching, a dietitian, someone checking in, or a program that gets the drug for them.
What you pay
$398/mo is the cheapest cash route at maintenance: the $99/mo Success by Sesame plan, billed each month, plus the $299/mo NovoCare oral Wegovy pill at that dose. Commit and the plan gets cheaper: $79/mo on 3 months, $69/mo on 6 months and $59/mo for the year, which makes it $358 in total. Starter pill doses are $149/mo, so early months cost less.

Lock-in and how to cancel
- Cancel anytime
The plan is billed each month at $99 and you can cancel it. The cheaper rates buy a commitment: $79/mo on the 3-month plan, $69/mo on the 6-month plan and $59/mo on the annual plan.
How to cancel: Success by Sesame is billed each month at $99 and you can cancel month to month. The $79, $69 and $59 rates need 3, 6 or 12 months. This took the place of the old pay-per-visit model.
Which drugs you can get
Sesame does not dispense medication. Clinicians prescribe to your retail pharmacy of choice; sourcing and pricing happen outside the platform.
A compounded GLP-1 is made by a licensed compounding pharmacy to a prescription; the FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or quality, and its formulation, including the salt form, can differ from the approved drug. Confirm the active ingredient and the pharmacy with the prescriber. What compounded means, in full.
