Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Published pricing for both microdose programmes: $229/month for the single-agonist GLP-1 ($687 total) and $239/month for the dual-agonist ($717 total)
✓No hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees, stated as a headline on the microdose page
✓Available in all 50 states
✓The partner pharmacy is named - Clover Pharmacy - and described as dispensing from 503A-compliant, state-licensed facilities
✓Payment is refunded if the medical provider determines you are not eligible for an EllieMD programme
✓24/7 access to a provider is included in the plan rather than sold as an upgrade
✓A state-licensed, board-certified MD, DO or qualified medical provider reviews your intake, and a phone call may be required rather than everything being asynchronous
✓The compounding disclaimer is explicit: compounded medications are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not review them for safety, efficacy or quality
✓It discloses that vial appearance, contents and dosage may vary based on your personalised prescription
✓Offers a paid 15-minute consultation with a wellness expert that comes with a $25 credit toward your next order

Cons

✗The whole proposition is microdosing, which has no controlled trial evidence behind it. Every published GLP-1 outcome - the 15% and 20% figures the category is built on - comes from full therapeutic doses
✗Both prices are quoted per month but billed as a multi-month total ($687 and $717), so the real commitment is three months up front
✗Compounded medication, not FDA-approved
✗The catalogue mixes prescription GLP-1s with Thymosin Alpha-1, hormone therapy, protein supplements and skincare, which blurs the line between medicine and wellness retail
✗The claim that "community support can double weight loss efficacy" is footnoted to a 2015 Northwestern citation and used to market a product that citation did not test
✗No phone number, support email or business address is published
✗No insurance billing and no HSA/FSA information
✗It is not clear from the site whether full therapeutic dosing is available at all, or only microdoses

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutidemetformin

Pros

✓Publishes cash prices for brand-name drugs openly, which almost no competitor does: Ozempic $1,100/mo, Mounjaro around $1,100/mo, and Wegovy and Zepbound from $650/mo
✓Accepts insurance, with clinical visits covered for many members - the site says most pay under $30 per visit - and offers insurance navigation support for branded prescriptions
✓Compounded GLP-1s start at $99/month with flat pricing as your dose increases, so titrating up does not raise the bill
✓Non-GLP-1 plan options from $49/month for people who do not need or cannot take a GLP-1
✓The widest medication range of any provider on this site: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy, Foundayo, Saxenda, metformin and more
✓Offer terms are spelled out concretely - 'Save $100/mo or more... when you choose a prepaid annual plan, compared to paying monthly' - rather than a bare percentage
✓A microdosing programme is offered as a lower-intensity entry point
✓Efficacy figures are attributed to the branded products they come from: 'Up to 15-20% weight loss with Wegovy and Zepbound'

Cons

✗On the branded route the medication cost is separate from your Found membership, so the advertised membership discounts do not touch the $650-$1,100 monthly drug bill unless insurance covers it
✗The best compounded rates require a prepaid annual plan; paying monthly costs about $100/month more by Found's own arithmetic
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.9 from 718 reviews, weaker than several smaller competitors reviewed here
✗Insurance acceptance is state-by-state, so coverage depends on where you live and which plan you hold - the free insurance check happens before you can know your real cost
✗Cash prices for branded GLP-1s are well above the manufacturers' own direct programmes, so the direct-pay route here is not the cheapest way to obtain them
✗The compounded products are not FDA-approved, and the 15-20% figures quoted come from trials of the branded drugs rather than Found's compounded versions
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check
