Found is the only provider in this comparison built around actually using your insurance benefits, and that makes it genuinely different rather than differently packaged. Its compounded GLP-1 plan starts at $99 a month with insurance or $169 a month cash-pay, both of those figures resting on a twelve-month plan paid up front, and both including the medication, the clinician, coaching and the app. Month-to-month pricing is much higher, at $199 with insurance and $289 cash-pay. Found also brokers branded Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro, and the newer oral options, though on that route the medication is explicitly not included in the plan price.
Two things need flagging before you sign up. Found bills every 28 days, not every month, which is thirteen charges a year rather than twelve, so a $289 month-to-month plan is $3,769 a year and not $3,468. And the affiliate material for this brand advertises that Found now accepts Medicare with brand-name GLP-1s at $50 a month for eligible members, while Found’s own offer terms state its insurance pricing is not available to people on government plans including Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare and MediCal. We cannot reconcile those two statements from the published pages, so if you are on Medicare, get it in writing before you pay.
What to do first. Found’s benefits check is free and commits you to nothing, and it is the only step on this page that answers the question everything else depends on: whether the insured price or the cash-pay price is the one that applies to you. Run it before you compare anything, because the difference between the two is $70 a month on the prepaid plan and $90 a month on the rolling one. Then decide. Two terms travel with every one of those prices: billing runs every 28 days, so thirteen charges a year rather than twelve, and Found’s offer terms exclude Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare and MediCal from insurance pricing — if you are on a government plan, get your eligibility and your price confirmed in writing before you pay anything at all.

The Found button is an affiliate link. The comparison link is an internal page on this site and is not. Found bills every 28 days — thirteen charges a year, so a $289 month-to-month plan is about $3,769 a year — and its insurance pricing excludes Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare and MediCal. Found had no sight of this page and no say in what it contains.
What Found costs
Found runs three distinct plan types and they are priced and bundled differently. Getting this straight is most of the work of understanding the company.
| Plan | Published price | Is medication included |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded GLP-1 plan, insurance price | From $99 a month on a 12-month plan paid up front | Yes. Includes compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide filled through a Found-facilitated pharmacy, plus clinician access, coaching and the app. Copays, coinsurance and deductibles may still apply. |
| Compounded GLP-1 plan, cash-pay | From $169 a month on a 12-month plan paid up front | Yes, same inclusions, no insurance involved. |
| Compounded GLP-1 plan, month to month | From $199 a month with insurance, from $289 cash-pay | Yes, same inclusions. Billed every 28 days. |
| Generics plan, oral non-GLP-1 | Not published on the pages we read | Includes certain generic oral non-GLP-1 medications. Compounded and branded GLP-1s are excluded. |
| Branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) | Plan fee only | No. Found states branded GLP-1 medication is not included in the plan price. You pay for the drug through your insurance or at cash-pay via the manufacturer channels. |
| Labs | Not included | Found states labs, where applicable, are not included in the plan price. |
| Typical copay on the insurance route | Around $30, per Found’s programme page | Varies by plan and deductible status. Non-refundable. |
| Billing cycle | Every 28 days | Thirteen cycles in a year, not twelve. |
A promotional banner offers up to $100 off a membership plan, and the homebound small print frames it as $100 a month or more off compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide when you choose a prepaid annual plan. As always, judge the checkout total rather than the banner. Practical version: put the plan in the basket, read the total and the renewal date on the confirmation screen, and check both against the annualised figures in the next section before you agree to anything. On the prepaid annual route that single charge is the whole year, which is the one plan here where the number you see is the number you pay.
See which Found price applies to you ↗ Compare annualised costs
The Found button is an affiliate link. The annualised-cost comparison is an internal page on this site and is not. From $99 a month with insurance or $169 a month cash-pay, both on a 12-month plan paid up front; month to month is $199 insured and $289 cash-pay, billed every 28 days — thirteen charges a year, not twelve. Around $30 in copays applies on the insurance route, insurance pricing excludes Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare and MediCal, and compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.
The 28-day cycle is the number nobody mentions
Found states in its offer terms that plans are billed every four weeks, on a 28-day cycle. A calendar year contains 13.04 of those. Every headline monthly price on the site therefore understates the annual cost by roughly 8.7%.
| Plan | Advertised monthly | What a year actually costs |
|---|---|---|
| Cash-pay, month to month | $289 | About $3,769 |
| Insurance, month to month | $199 | About $2,595, plus copays |
| Cash-pay, 12 months prepaid | $169 | $2,028, paid in one charge up front |
| Insurance, 12 months prepaid | $99 | $1,188 up front, plus copays and any medication cost on the branded route |
The Medicare contradiction
Found’s offer terms, dated 26 August 2025 and applying to members who joined on or after 28 August 2025, state for both the compounded GLP-1 plan and the generics plan that insurance pricing is not available to individuals with government insurance plans, naming Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare and MediCal or similar.
The affiliate listing for this brand says the opposite: that Found is now accepting Medicare, and that brand-name GLP-1s are available at $50 a month for eligible members.
What the refund policy actually says
Found’s refund policy is one of the more clearly written in this market, and one of the shortest windows. The membership fee is refundable in full only if one of two things is true: you cancel within three days of your original purchase date, or you cancel before completing your first medical consultation. After either of those points passes, Found states the membership fee is non-refundable regardless of whether you used the platform.
The rest, in order of how likely you are to be caught by it:
- Renewal payments are non-refundable. Found recommends cancelling or pausing at least 48 hours before your renewal date to avoid a charge.
- Medications and lab kits are non-refundable and non-returnable once dispensed or shipped, even unused.
- Copays and other patient responsibility amounts are non-refundable, because they are set by your insurer for services already rendered.
- If you complete a consultation and are found medically disqualified from all treatment options, your membership fee is refunded in full. If the system auto-disqualifies you before a consultation, the refund is automatic.
- If you are disqualified from one specific medication but still eligible for something else Found offers, that is not a refund. Found says your care team will explore alternatives.
- Initiating a chargeback may affect your eligibility to keep using Found. Refunds can take up to 30 days.
Point five is the one that will surprise people. If you sign up specifically to get tirzepatide and a clinician says no but offers you metformin instead, you have not been disqualified in the sense that triggers a refund. That is a defensible policy and it is also exactly the kind of clause worth knowing before you prepay a year. We have set it against every other provider on our refund policies compared page. Practical version: if one particular medication is the whole reason you are signing up, say so in the intake questionnaire and ask the care team to confirm eligibility before your first consultation is complete, because that consultation is the moment the membership fee stops being refundable. If you want to test the answer before committing, start month to month at $199 insured or $289 cash-pay rather than prepaying twelve months, and move to the annual plan once you know what you have been approved for.
Point one deserves a diary entry. On a 28-day cycle your renewal date moves earlier through the calendar every month, so the date you cancelled by last time is not the date you need this time. Practical version: the moment you join, take the renewal date off the confirmation email, put it in your calendar with a reminder four days ahead, and reset it from each new email as the cycle walks forward. Do that and the 48-hour rule never costs you a cycle — at which point Found’s short window stops being a risk and the insurance route is simply the cheapest clinical care on this page for anyone with commercial cover.
Start with Found’s free benefits check ↗ Compare refund policies
The Found button is an affiliate link. The refund-policy comparison is an internal page on this site and is not. The membership fee is refundable only within three days of purchase or before your first consultation, whichever comes first; renewals are non-refundable, medications and lab kits are non-refundable once dispensed or shipped, and being declined for one medication while being offered another does not qualify for a refund. Billing runs every 28 days — thirteen charges a year, not twelve.
The insurance angle is the real reason to consider Found
Almost everything else on this site is private pay. Found runs a free insurance check before you commit, prices its plan lower when your benefits cover the clinical care, and will route you to a branded GLP-1 through your plan or through the manufacturers’ own cash-pay channels where that is cheaper than compounded.
If your employer plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound with a modest copay, that is very likely the cheapest and safest route available to you, and it involves an FDA-approved drug rather than a compounded preparation. Found is one of the few providers with an incentive to tell you that. Our guide on whether insurance covers GLP-1s covers how to check your own formulary before you rely on anyone else’s check.
The flipside is that the insurance route makes your total cost unknowable in advance. The $99 covers clinical care. The medication is billed separately and varies with your coverage, your deductible status and your pharmacy. Found says as much. Anyone quoting you a single all-in number on the insurance route is guessing. Practical version: run the free benefits check first, then ask Found in writing for your copay figure and your expected medication cost under your own plan before you commit to a prepaid year. If the answer comes back vague, stay month to month at $199 insured or $289 cash-pay — billed every 28 days, so thirteen charges a year — until the numbers are firm, then switch. The check itself costs nothing and is the fastest way to turn an unknown into a number.
Medication range
Found publishes medication pages for a wider list than any other provider we have reviewed: compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and compounded liraglutide; branded Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, Victoza and Trulicity; the newer oral option marketed as Foundayo; and the non-GLP-1 options Contrave, metformin, topiramate and zonisamide.
That breadth is a real advantage if a GLP-1 is not right for you, because there is somewhere else to go inside the same programme. It also means the plan you end up on may not be the plan you priced. Practical version: ask which plan tier your prescription will sit in before you prepay twelve months, because the two routes are priced on opposite principles. On the compounded route the medication is bundled into the $99 or $169 figure; on the branded route you pay the plan fee only and the drug is billed separately through your insurance or a manufacturer channel. Compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide are not FDA-approved, so if that matters to you, the branded route is the one to ask for by name.
Claims we could not verify
- A figure of more than 300,000 people served appears in the brand’s affiliate listing. We found no page showing how it is counted.
- The homepage headline claim of 15 to 20% weight loss is properly footnoted to the 68 and 72-week Wegovy and Zepbound trials, which is more than most sites do. It describes those drugs, not Found’s programme.
- A separate claim that Found members lose up to 20% of body weight on average is internally incoherent, because up to and on average cannot both apply to the same number.
- The compounded semaglutide page states members using GLP-1 injections as part of a full programme have lost up to 16% of body weight. No study, sample size or timeframe is given.
- The Medicare and $50 brand-name pricing claim contradicts the published offer terms, as set out above.
- MetabolicPrint, described as a proprietary personalisation engine with four profiles, is a marketing framework. We found no published validation for it.
Who this suits, and who it does not
Worth a look if
- You have commercial insurance and want a provider that will actually try to use it.
- You can prepay twelve months, where the real discount is much larger than the monthly figures suggest.
- You might need a non-GLP-1 route and want that option inside the same programme rather than starting again.
- You want an FDA-approved branded drug and need help getting it through a plan or a manufacturer channel.
- Coaching, habit tools and monthly check-ins are things you will use rather than pay for and ignore.
Look elsewhere if
- You are on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare or MediCal, until Found confirms your eligibility in writing.
- You want one fixed all-in number. On the insurance route your medication cost is genuinely unknown until it is billed.
- You want a long refund window. Three days, or your first consultation, is one of the shortest here.
- You want to avoid a subscription altogether, in which case start with the no-subscription providers.
- You want the lowest cash-pay compounded price. Several providers on our semaglutide comparison start below $169.
Reading those two lists against each other, the recommendation is narrow but firm. If you hold commercial insurance and can prepay, Found is the strongest case on this site, because it is the only provider here built to use your benefits rather than route around them, and the free benefits check tells you exactly where you stand before you spend a penny. If you are on a government plan, or you need one fixed all-in number today, this is not your provider yet — and the honest next step is the comparison table rather than the sign-up page.

How we sourced this
Read on joinfound.com on 12 August 2026: the homepage and its footnoted claims, the programme page, the plans and pricing page and its pricing footnote, the compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide medication pages, and the full offer terms including the refund policy. The pricing figures, the 28-day billing cycle, the government-insurance exclusion and every refund rule below are taken from those pages. The Medicare and $50 brand-name claim comes from the brand’s affiliate program listing rather than from joinfound.com. We did not complete a health assessment, submit an insurance check, place an order or contact support, so nothing here reflects the experience of being a member.
