Which fits your priorities?
Only the points where these two differ, from the table above and each provider’s record.
Choose Ro if…
- Broad FDA-approved menu: Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound, Foundayo and Ozempic
- Cash prices match LillyDirect, NovoCare and TrumpRx, with every dose price published
- Free insurance check, and Ro's concierge handles prior-authorization paperwork
What to weigh up
- Listed brand-name Wegovy / Ozempic price excludes a required membership
- The Ro Body membership ($74-$149/mo) is billed on top of the medication
Choose Sesame Care if…
- Marketplace transparency — pick a named provider with a displayed price before booking, unlike most opaque telehealth intake
- BBB-accredited and LegitScript-certified
- Honest subscription scope — clinical care only, medication billed separately
What to weigh up
- 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
