The August 2026 provider sweep
Direct answer
What you need to know
Evidence strength: StrongWe re-read all 15 records in the provider directory on 2026-08-11. 10 could be checked against the provider’s own published page. 5 could not. Prices moved at seven providers, two of our own figures turned out to be wrong and are now in the corrections log, and the 5 we could not check keep their older date rather than being quietly re-stamped with today’s.
Key takeaways
- Every figure here is what the provider published on 2026-08-11, not what we were told or what we found on a comparison site.
- Two material corrections: our Calibrate listing pointed at the wrong domain, and our Sesame price was about half the real one.
- 5 providers no longer put a price on a page you can read without running their code or starting an eligibility quiz.
- Compounded entry prices fell. Brand-name prices did not. The gap widened over two weeks.
Important limitation: A sweep reads what is published. It cannot tell you what you will actually be charged after an intake questionnaire, what a provider quotes at a higher dose, or whether an advertised rate is available in your state. Where a provider publishes a range and a footnote, the footnote is usually the number that applies to you.
Next action: If you are comparing on price, the figure that matters is the monthly total with the membership fee added to the medication — which is how our cheapest-routes page prices every option. Several providers on this list advertise one and charge both.

What moved
Ten rows, because those are the 10 records we could actually re-read. “Was” is what this site said until 2026-08-11; “now” is what the provider’s own page said when we read it that day.
| Provider | Field | Was | Now | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calibrate | Programme fee | Roughly $1,500–$1,800 for 12 months | $199/month, three-month minimum ($597) | Corrected. We were also linking to the wrong domain — see below. |
| Sesame | Bundled programme | Optional subscription from $59/month; programmes from ~$129/month | Success by Sesame $249/month, medication included | Corrected. Visits separately start at $34. |
| Mochi Health | Medication price | ~$99 per 4-week supply | Semaglutide from $59/month, tirzepatide from $71/month | Price moved down, and tirzepatide has been added to the line-up. |
| Noom Med | Entry price | Plans from ~$99/month up to ~$279/month | Microdose from $79/month; brand-name access from $39/month | Restructured into a medication-included tier and an access-only tier. |
| Found | Plan pricing | Membership ~$99–$149/month; assessment from $39 | Compounded plans from $99/month, non-GLP-1 from $49/month | The separate assessment fee is gone; visits are now billed to insurance where in network. |
| Alloy | Medication price | Compounded liraglutide from $80; Wegovy $199; Zepbound $349 | Compounded semaglutide from $70/month | The brand-name figures are no longer published, so we removed rather than carried them. |
| WeightWatchers Clinic | Membership | $25–$49 first month, then $74–$149/month | $25/month for two months, then $74/month on a 12-month plan | Narrowed to the single live offer, which the site dates to 13 August 2026. |
| Amazon One Medical | On-demand renewals | From $29 (message) or $49 (video) | No longer published on a readable page | Amazon's newsroom post was updated and the figures were removed from it. |
| PlushCare | Membership | $19.99/month; $129 per visit without insurance | Unchanged, plus: first month free, and ≤$30/visit when in network | Confirmed against the live page and given the detail it was missing. |
| Ro (Body) | Membership | $39 first month; as low as $74/month on annual prepay | Unchanged | Confirmed word for word against Ro's own pricing page. |
The two we got wrong
These are in the corrections log as well, which is where they belong permanently. They are repeated here because a verification report that only lists other people’s changes is not a verification report.
We linked to the wrong Calibrate
We said: Our Calibrate listing linked to calibrate.com, and said the programme cost roughly $1,500–$1,800 for a 12-month commitment.
It now says: Calibrate's site is joincalibrate.com. The bare calibrate.com domain is an unrelated parked page — a bare list of cryptocurrency and NFT links, with nothing to do with weight loss or healthcare — so anyone who clicked through from us landed somewhere that had no connection to the provider we were describing. Calibrate's own pricing page now states $199/month with a three-month minimum, which it puts at $597 for the initial commitment.
Our Sesame price was about half the real one
We said: Our Sesame listing said there was an optional 'Success by Sesame' subscription from $59/month, and that GLP-1 programmes were advertised from roughly $129/month.
It now says: Sesame advertises Success by Sesame at $249 per month with the medication included. Individual visits start at $34, the Wegovy pill is listed from $149/month, and a Costco-branded programme from $49/month. We cannot establish whether the price moved between our two checks or whether we mis-read Sesame's tiers the first time, and we are not going to guess in the flattering direction: either way, a reader who took our figure to Sesame would have found the bundled programme costing about twice what we said.
The 5 we could not read
This is the part of a sweep that nobody publishes, and it is the most useful part. Every provider below is still in the directory, still carrying its old figures and its old verifiedOn date, because the alternative — stamping today’s date on a record we did not open — would make every date on that page a claim about our diligence rather than about the provider’s terms.
| Provider | Last verified | Why the check failed |
|---|---|---|
| Hims & Hers | 2026-07-26 | hims.com returned HTTP 403 to every request from us on 11 August 2026, so nothing on this record could be re-read against the source. |
| Delilah | 2026-07-26 | joindelilah.com served us its page on 11 August 2026 but no price appeared anywhere in it — the figures are drawn in by the browser after the page loads, so there was nothing to re-read. |
| Fella Health | 2026-07-26 | On 11 August 2026 Fella's site published prices for its add-on longevity treatments ($45–$149/month) but no price for the GLP-1 programme itself, which now sits behind an eligibility quiz. There is no public page left to check our figures against. |
| Henry Meds | 2026-07-26 | henrymeds.com served us half a megabyte on 11 August 2026 containing no price at all — the readable text runs to about 15,000 characters and none of it is a figure. The prices are assembled in the browser. |
| Willow Health | 2026-07-26 | willowhealth.com returned a near-empty shell on 11 August 2026 — about 700 characters of readable text and no price. The record already says the price is not published; this sweep could not improve on that. |
Four of the five are compounded-only services. That is not a coincidence, and it is not an accusation either — a price behind a quiz is a marketing decision, not a regulatory one. But it does mean the part of this market with the least product oversight is also the part where a price is hardest to check before you give someone your details.
A directory that only reports the checks that succeeded is reporting its own diligence, not the providers.
What the sweep says about the market
- Compounded prices are falling and brand-name prices are not. Mochi moved to $59/month for semaglutide, Alloy to $70, Noom’s microdose tier to $79. Found still lists Wegovy and Zepbound from $650/month and Ozempic and Mounjaro at around $1,100. That gap is the whole reason the 503B bulks list proposal matters to anyone paying cash.
- The advertised number is increasingly not the number you pay. Mochi advertises $59 for medication and charges $79 for membership on top. Noom’s $79 headline resolves, in its own footnote, to $179/month after the first three weeks. Reading the footnote is now the single highest-value thing a reader can do.
- Promotional rates have expiry dates in the fine print. WeightWatchers’ $25 entry price is dated to an offer ending 13 August 2026 — two days after we read it. Anyone arriving at this page later should assume that one has already gone.
- Insurance is doing more of the work than it was. Found has dropped its separate assessment fee and now bills visits to insurance where it is in network; Calibrate sells coverage navigation as the product. Neither of those is a discount, but both change what the monthly figure is measuring.
When we do this again
The directory is re-swept every 30 days. The next one falls due 2026-09-10. If that date has passed and there is no newer entry on this page than 2026-08-11, we are overdue and you should treat every figure in the directory as needing confirmation.
