Sesame review
A clinician marketplace rather than a clinic — you see who treats you before booking, it dispenses FDA-approved GLP-1s only, and it says outright that medication is billed separately.
Scored 6.6/10 · ranked #27 of 35 · from $208/mo · Verified 2026-09-17
Short answer
The advertised $208/mo is the membership fee alone — medication is billed separately from $149/mo, so a realistic starting total is closer to $208/mo.
What the score rests on
Classified as membership-excludes-medication — see how we classify every clinic's price →
| Criterion | Weight | Score | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price & value | 25% weight | 6.5 | The headline is $59/mo for care plus medication from $149/mo, billed separately — so $59 is nobody's monthly total and the real floor is $208. The $59 also depends on a 12-month commitment, and the rate without that commitment is not published on this page. |
| Clinical oversight | 30% weight | 7.5 | A clinician marketplace rather than a clinic: you can see the individual clinician before booking, urgent care and prescription refills sit in the same navigation, and delivery or same-day pickup is offered. It dispenses FDA-approved GLP-1s only, which removes the compounded risk class entirely. The 'up to 25% of body weight' figure is given without a source. |
| Treatment options | 20% weight | 6.0 | Access to FDA-approved GLP-1s, with no molecule or product named on this page and no compounded line or oral route declared. Narrow coverage, and unspecified — we count what is published rather than what a marketplace might have behind it. |
| Transparency & trust | 25% weight | 6.0 | To its credit Sesame says outright that medication is paid separately and gives a floor for it, which many membership-plus-medication clinics never do, and it honours its own asterisk about the 12-month commitment. Marked down because the big number on the page excludes the medication, the molecules are unnamed, and the non-committed rate is absent. |

Watch out for
The $59/mo on the page is not anyone's total — it buys care only. With the cheapest medication it is $208/mo, and the $59 itself depends on a 12-month commitment whose alternative is not published here. The molecules are never named on this page, and 'lose up to 25% of your body weight' is given without a source.

The only clinic here that says outright its headline is a monthly equivalent of annual billing, and prints the no-commitment rate beside it instead of leaving you to find it at checkout.

Publishes every plan length with its total billed and its per-month rate on each product page, and covers more routes than any clinic here — but the $169/mo headline is $2,028 charged up front and non-refundable.

9 of the 35 clinics we rank are an affiliate partner. Partnership never changes a score or a ranking position — those come only from our published methodology. What it changes is which clinic a promoted button points at, and every such link carries a PICK badge in the table so you can see it before you click.
