Our verdict on each
Numan
Numan suits readers who want a single UK brand holding a supplement range and a clinical service in the same account, rather than a vitamins only shop. Supplements start at £28, the weight loss plan runs at £46.20 a month, and clinicians cover doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist.
Sesame Care
Sesame Care suits US households who want a single account covering everyday medicine alongside therapy and psychiatry, with a monthly plan at $10.99 and a cost score of 9.3. The trade-off sits in payment: insurance accepted is no, so visits come out of your own pocket.

Pros and cons
Numan
Pros
- A single account covers supplements and clinic work, with multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 alongside online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy.
- Clinician cover is broad, with doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist on the team, which is more than a vitamins only shop offers.
- A 14 day money back window gives new customers a defined exit, and delivery is free.
Cons
- Supplements sit mid-table on entry price, ranked 87 of 157, so a cheaper multivitamin exists.
- Price per serving ranks 66 of 121, so a lower daily cost is available elsewhere.
- Numan covers GB and JE, so the weight loss plan and clinician access stop at those markets.
Sesame Care
Pros
- The Sesame Care monthly plan at $10.99 ranks 6 of 37 brands compared on plan price, putting the ongoing charge near the cheap end of the table
- Clinicians doctor, nurse practitioner and therapist place therapy and psychiatry in the same service as everyday medicine
- Availability of 24 7 plus a mobile app means a visit can start at any hour without going through a clinic reception desk
Cons
- Insurance accepted is no, so members pay the Sesame Care monthly plan at $10.99 and each consultation at $34 themselves.
- It runs in a single market: US, with the operating company registered in the United States.
- On consultation price it sits 22 of 34 brands compared, so the entry cost is above the cheapest in that table.
Who each suits
Numan
Who it suits
- Readers who want a daily supplement and a clinician backed programme under the same brand, with online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy on offer.
- UK and Jersey customers, since the service is built around GB and JE and next day delivery.
- Anyone who values a defined exit, with a 14 day money back period and email, phone and help centre support.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a pure vitamins only shop, since ProSolution Plus and TestRX keep their range to vitamins minerals.
- Readers who need a wider supplement catalogue for gut health or greens, an area where DocMorris lists more types under multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Anyone outside GB and JE, where the service and delivery do not extend.
Sesame Care
Who it suits
- US households who want everyday medicine, therapy and psychiatry reached through one service and a mobile app
- People who put the ongoing charge first, since the Sesame Care monthly plan ranks 6 of 37 brands compared on plan price
- Members who value availability 24 7 more than having a dispensing counter attached to the account
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants pharmacy dispensing in the same account: DocMorris lists pharmacy in online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, outside the Sesame Care service list of online gp, prescriptions and weight loss
- Readers who only want a focused prescription weight loss service: FeelGood GLP-1 keeps its list to online gp, prescriptions and weight loss
- Members who are content with general medicine, prescriptions, weight loss and sexual health and nothing more: FeelGood ED lists online gp, prescriptions and weight loss

Questions about each
Numan
What does Numan cost?+
Supplements start at £28 for the flagship multivitamin, and the weight loss programme runs at £46.20 a month. A doctor's consultation is priced at £60. Numan is a subscription brand, so a supplement plan renews on the billing cycle chosen at signup.
Can I buy sleep and stress supplements from Numan?+
The range covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, so sleep and stress formulas sit alongside core vitamins rather than standing alone. ProSolution Plus and TestRX both list only vitamins minerals, so a reader wanting sleep support next to a multivitamin has fewer options there.
Sesame Care
How much is a Sesame Care consultation?+
A Sesame Care consultation is $34, which is the figure you meet when you book. It sits 22 of 34 brands compared on consultation price, so it is below most of that table without sitting at the cheap end of it. The amount covers the appointment itself.
What does the monthly plan cost, and does it cover visits?+
The Sesame Care monthly plan is $10.99, and it ranks 6 of 37 brands compared on plan price. Read that figure as the ongoing charge for access to the service rather than as cover for appointments, because the consultation price of $34 is billed separately when you book.
