About Found
Personalized weight care platform with a self-pay membership model plus medication costs.
Read our full Found review →About Sesame Care
Sesame is a transparent-pricing telehealth marketplace that connects patients directly with independent provider practices — distinct from the stocked-formulary model of most weight-loss platforms. Its weight-loss vertical is brand-name only (no compounding): a $39–$99/month subscription covers clinical care, while medication is billed separately at cash-pay rates, including Zepbound from $299 via LillyDirect and a Wegovy self-pay promo at $199/month.

Found
What we like
- Aggressively low monthly pricing
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available

Sesame Care
What we like
- Marketplace transparency — pick a named provider with a displayed price before booking, unlike most opaque telehealth intake
- BBB-accredited and LegitScript-verified
- LillyDirect partnership unlocks Zepbound vial and KwikPen cash pricing matching Lilly's lowest direct rates ($299 at lowest dose)
- Wegovy self-pay promo ($199/mo for first two months, lowest dose, new self-pay) — among the lowest brand-Wegovy cash prices
- Honest subscription scope — clinical care only, medication billed separately
- Stocks both Wegovy pill ($149/mo low doses) and Foundayo orforglipron alongside injectables
- Lab work included in subscription for 41 states (excludes AZ/HI/ND/NJ/NY/OK/RI/SD/WY)
- Insurance route ($25/mo possible) is viable — providers assist with prior authorization
Watch-outs
- Marketplace model means clinician credentials and quality vary provider to provider
- Statewide availability can't be listed — it depends on which marketplace providers are licensed in your state
- No in-house pharmacy — fulfillment splits across LillyDirect, NovoCare, and your retail pharmacy
- Restrictive refunds — full refund only if you cancel 3+ hours before the first visit; no refund once the visit occurs
- Subscription commitment required — no genuine pay-per-visit option for weight loss
- Wegovy $199/mo promo applies only to new self-pay patients at the lowest dose; $349/mo after month 2
- Wegovy pill high doses ($299/mo for 9mg/25mg) cost about 2x the low-dose price as you titrate up
- Zepbound KwikPen high doses ($699/mo for 10–15mg) approach Lilly's list price
