Knownwell vs Sesame Care
By GLP-1 ScorecardUpdated
Score comparison
Sesame Care has the higher recorded score — 87.8/100 to 66.9/100.
Sesame Care grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Choose a provider for Wegovy, Zepbound and oral GLP-1 options through Sesame; care and medication are billed separately, and the annual care headline needs comparison with the shorter plan.

Site position #193 · C
Strengths
- Co-founded by obesity-medicine specialist Dr. Angela Fitch
- Branded FDA-approved GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Saxenda)
- Official LillyDirect provider and Novo Wegovy-pill telehealth partner
- Accepts insurance, copays as low as $25 for covered patients
- Weight-inclusive care with dietitians and health coaches
What to consider
- Specific self-pay monthly medication prices not transparently posted
- In-person clinics limited to four metro areas
- Branded-only focus can mean higher cost than compounded routes
Site position #2 · B+
Strengths
- Provider choice with advertised video visits, follow-ups and continuing messaging
- Branded injection and oral options are described, subject to prescribing, dose, insurance and pharmacy availability
- Quest lab costs are included except in nine named states; alternative lab coverage requires confirmation
- The current semaglutide page explicitly distinguishes branded products from compounded semaglutide, which it says is currently unavailable
What to consider
- The $59 care headline requires an annual subscription and excludes medication; provider-specific care rates may be higher
- Ordinary care is called monthly but also billed every 28 days; longer-term savings arithmetic needs confirmation
- Program refund wording differs from newer terms describing multi-month repricing and a 48-hour renewal notice
- Drug prices depend on dose and promotion; official KwikPen and Foundayo displays contain discrepancies
- The selected clinician, medical practice and dispensing pharmacy were not established by this review
