Foundayo vs QuickMD

Compare pricing, features, and medications to find the best GLP-1 provider for your weight loss journey

These two prices are not directly comparable

QuickMD: the $99 figure is a per-visit consultation fee, not a month of treatment - the medication is billed separately.

Foundayo vs QuickMD: Overview

Choosing between Foundayo and QuickMD for GLP-1 weight loss medication? Both are highly-rated providers, but they differ in pricing, medication options, and service features.

Medications

orforglipron

Pros

✓The first and only FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss that can be taken at any time of day with no food or water restrictions, approved 1 April 2026
✓In the ATTAIN-1 trial, participants on the highest dose who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4% of body weight) against 2.2 pounds (0.9%) on placebo
✓Counting everyone randomised regardless of whether they finished, the average was still 25 pounds (11.1%) versus 5.3 pounds (2.1%) on placebo - Lilly published both numbers rather than only the flattering one
✓A once-daily tablet, so there is no injection, no needle disposal and no refrigeration to organise
✓Self-pay pricing is published up front at $149 per month for the lowest dose through LillyDirect, with free home delivery
✓Eligible people with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 per month with the Foundayo savings card
✓Eligible Medicare Part D patients may be able to get it for $50 per month from as early as 1 July 2026 - a rarity in this category
✓Lilly reported reductions in waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure across all doses
✓It is a small-molecule (non-peptide) GLP-1, which is why it can be manufactured as a pill rather than an injection

Cons

✗Weight loss is meaningfully lower than the best injectables. 12.4% at the top dose sits below tirzepatide territory, so if maximum weight loss is the goal an injection still wins
✗It carries the class boxed warning: it may cause thyroid tumours including thyroid cancer, and must not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
✗Should not be used alongside another GLP-1 receptor agonist
✗Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, heartburn, gas and hair loss
✗Serious risks in the label include pancreatitis, dehydration leading to kidney problems, gallbladder problems, severe allergic reactions and aspiration risk under anaesthesia
✗Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established
✗$149 is the price of the lowest dose only - higher doses cost more, and the $25 and $50 figures depend on insurance eligibility rather than being available to everyone
✗Very new to market, so there is no long-term real-world safety and adherence record yet

Medications

Pros

✓Flat, published consultation pricing: $99 for a weight-loss consultation with a licensed doctor who can prescribe a GLP-1 if appropriate
✓No membership, no insurance requirement and no surprise fees, stated plainly on the pricing page
✓Prices for every other service line are published on the same page - $99 addiction treatment, $99 mental health, $79 menopause hormone therapy, $75 urgent care, $19 counselling - which is unusually transparent
✓Available in 42 states, seven days a week, with same-day visits
✓The prescription goes to the pharmacy of your choice, so you can shop the medication price separately instead of being locked into one supplier
✓An established multi-service telehealth practice rather than a single-product weight-loss funnel
✓Explicit about what it will not do - it publishes the list of medications it cannot prescribe, which most competitors leave vague

Cons

✗The $99 buys the consultation only. QuickMD states plainly that the cost of medication depends on your pharmacy and your prescription drug coverage, so your total monthly cost is unknown until you fill the script
✗QuickMD does not accept health insurance for the visit itself
✗Weight-loss consultations are not available in Louisiana
✗42 states is short of nationwide, and the missing eight are not listed on the pricing page
✗No medication is dispensed or shipped, so there is no cold-chain handling, no bundled pricing and no delivery guarantee
✗No dedicated coaching, dietitian or app-based programme wrapped around the prescription
