Sesame Care vs Collective
Both of these price the medicine and the care on separate bills, and only one of them holds its figure flat across every strength it sells.

Sesame Care
Partner
$408/mo
Medication and clinical care are billed separately here, so the Wegovy pill works out at $208 a month and the Wegovy injection at $408 once the care subscription is counted. Every rung carries its milligram strength and the name of the pharmacy that fills it.
- Milligram strength printed beside every price
- Pharmacy named for each brand medication
- Labs and messaging sit inside the care subscription
- Promotional terms and their end date are published
- Every headline price excludes the care subscription
- Month-to-month care is billed every twenty-eight days
- Two pages state different month-to-month billing terms
- Zepbound climbs from $299 to $449 with dose
Pick it for: Anyone who wants the brand, filled by the maker's own pharmacy
Not for: Anyone comparing sellers on a single all-in monthly figure.
Collective
Partner
$76/mo
All-in, semaglutide works out at $76 a month and tirzepatide at $86 — the same price at every dose, once the required $199 annual membership is spread across the year. The figures on the site itself are lower, because they exclude it.
- $59 and $69 are real medication prices rather than teaser rates
- The same price at every dose, stated on both molecules
- Cancel anytime is stated alongside the price
- All-in at $75.58 and $85.58 a month, still among the lower published figures
- The headline figures omit the required $199 annual membership
- The membership is an annual charge, so the first bill is far above $59
- No state list is published
- Compounding pharmacy is not named
Pick it for: One flat figure whichever molecule you end up on
Not for: Anyone planning a single month, where the $199 membership dominates what the month costs.
Our verdict
Collective's flat promise covers both molecules at every dose; Sesame's covers one product. Wegovy injections hold at $349 from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg, but the Wegovy pill doubles from $149 to $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg. Both also make you buy access before medicine. Collective's membership is $199, taken once for the year; Sesame's subscription is bought before the first visit is booked, and has to be held for as long as the prescription runs.
What actually separates them
Sesame Care and Collective state different things about published price, states a milligram dose and compounded. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.
Sesame Care costs $332 more than Collective — 437% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.
Over twelve months that is about $912 at Collective against $4,896 at Sesame Care — a difference of $3,984.
| Sesame Care | Collective | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | $408/mo | $76/mo |
| States a milligram dose | Yes | No |
| Compounded | No | Yes — not FDA-approved |
Before you choose either
Only one of these two publishes a milligram dose, which makes a straight price comparison impossible: you can tell what each costs, but only one tells you what you get. Ask the other what dose its price buys before you commit, then set both numbers against every published price we hold. A seller that will not answer that question has told you something.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
