Found review (2026): pricing, programs, pros & limitations
Found restructured in 2026: the compounded medication is now INCLUDED in the plan price, flat across semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide and across all doses. $169/month on the 12-month prepaid plan makes it the cheapest full-dose compounded tirzepatide in our set. The old $249-medication-plus-$99-membership split is retired. The $169 rate requires prepaying twelve months (roughly $2,028 up front). Month-to-month is $289. Found also resells brand Mounjaro and Ozempic at roughly $1,100–$1,199/month — near-retail, when the manufacturers sell them direct for far less. This review reflects figures marked verified as of September 4, 2026; where a figure is provider-reported we say so rather than presenting it as independently confirmed.

Pricing analysis
Found restructured in 2026: the compounded medication is now INCLUDED in the plan price, flat across semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide and across all doses. $169/month on the 12-month prepaid plan makes it the cheapest full-dose compounded tirzepatide in our set. The old $249-medication-plus-$99-membership split is retired.
Limitation: The $169 rate requires prepaying twelve months (roughly $2,028 up front). Month-to-month is $289. Found also resells brand Mounjaro and Ozempic at roughly $1,100–$1,199/month — near-retail, when the manufacturers sell them direct for far less.
Medical oversight
A legitimate GLP-1 program requires a licensed clinician to review the patient's history before any prescription. Clinician network + behavioural coaching. Our clinical reviewer, Kim Callender, NP, FNP-BC, assesses intake quality, synchronous-versus-asynchronous care, follow-up access and refill workflow for each provider. Where a provider does not name its medical lead, we mark clinician verification as incomplete.
Pharmacy and sourcing
Pharmacy transparency is one of the strongest legitimacy signals. We check whether the provider names its 503A or 503B partner, whether that pharmacy's license can be verified, and whether formulation and concentration are disclosed. For Found: Not independently verified.

Provider response
Found may submit factual corrections through our corrections process. Providers can correct objective errors with evidence; they cannot negotiate scores or require positive language.
Total = medication plus any membership you cannot decline. Introductory rates are marked INTRO and are not ongoing prices. The brand line is the benchmark every compounded programme must beat.
Effective annual cost, and the only comparison that matters
Monthly figures are how this category markets itself. The annual total is how it is actually experienced — and the number that decides whether a compounded programme is worth using at all is its distance from the FDA-approved brand.
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ongoing monthly total (medication + any mandatory fee) | $169 |
| Months in a year | × 12 |
| Estimated 12-month total | $2,028 |
| Brand Zepbound, LillyDirect starting dose | $299/mo → $3,588/yr |
| Difference vs the brand floor | −$1,560/yr |
| Brand Foundayo (oral, FDA-approved) | $149/mo → $1,788/yr |
What is included, and what is not
| Medication | Form | TOTAL / month | Billing | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | Injectable | $169 | All-inclusive | Verified |
| Compounded Semaglutide | Injectable | $169 | All-inclusive | Verified |
| Compounded liraglutide | Injectable | $169 | All-inclusive | Verified |
| Foundayo (brand, oral) | Oral / pill | $248 | $149 med + $99 membership | Provider Reported |
| Wegovy (brand) | Oral / pill | $297 | $198 med + $99 membership | Verified |
| Wegovy (brand) | Injectable | $347 | $248 med + $99 membership | Verified |
| Zepbound (brand) | Injectable | $447 | $348 med + $99 membership | Verified |
| Ozempic (brand) | Injectable | $1199 | $1,100 med + $99 membership | Verified |
| Mounjaro (brand) | Injectable | $1199 | $1,100 med + $99 membership | Verified |
This is not a criticism of the provider; the fee is disclosed. It is a criticism of every comparison table that omits it.
Dose coverage and price stability
Ask, in writing, what you will pay per month at the highest dose the programme covers — not at the starting dose — and model your annual cost on that number. Over a full titration the difference between a flat-rate programme and an escalating one can exceed $3,000 a year, which dwarfs any difference in the advertised rate.
Who Found suits
Cash-pay patients optimising hard on price. At $169/month total, Found clears the $299 brand floor by $130 and sits in the small group of compounded programmes that still deliver the discount the whole category is premised on.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone whose insurance covers brand Zepbound or Wegovy — a covered brand prescription with the manufacturer savings card can be about $25/month, which beats this by an order of magnitude. Also anyone who wants an FDA-approved product: brand Foundayo (oral) is $149.
Evidence gaps — what we have NOT verified about Found
This section exists on every provider review we publish, and we do not shorten it for providers we have a commercial relationship with.

Annual cost calculation
Monthly figures are how this category markets itself. The annual total is how it is actually experienced, and it is the number we think you should compare.
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ongoing monthly total (medication + any membership) | $169 |
| Months in a year | × 12 |
| Estimated twelve-month total | $2,028 |
| Versus brand Zepbound at LillyDirect ($299 starter) | $1,560/yr less |
Providers differ enormously in what happens then. Some refund the unused portion. Some convert you to the month-to-month rate and bill the difference for months already taken. Some refund nothing. This is the single question people most often forget to ask, and it is the one most likely to cost them money.
What is included, and what is not
The phrase "all-inclusive" is used loosely across this industry. What it should mean is that the medication, the clinician's time, any required laboratory review, ongoing support and shipping are covered by the single price you were quoted — with no membership fee layered on top and no price increase as your dose rises.
Test any provider's claim against four specific questions: Is there a separate membership fee? Does the price change at higher doses? Are laboratory costs included or billed separately? Is shipping included, and is it expedited? A programme that answers "no, no, yes, yes" is genuinely all-inclusive. Most are not.
Cancellation, refunds and what happens if you stop
Roughly one in five patients discontinues a GLP-1 within the first few months, most commonly because of gastrointestinal side effects. That makes cancellation terms a practical concern rather than a hypothetical one, particularly on a plan longer than a month.
Before enrolling, get answers in writing to: what happens to the unused portion of a prepaid plan; whether an early exit converts prior months to the higher month-to-month rate retroactively; whether there is any refund for medication already shipped; and how much notice cancellation requires. Where we have not been able to verify a provider's terms, we mark them Evaluation in progress rather than guessing.
Questions to ask about the pharmacy
The pharmacy matters more than the telehealth brand on the front of the website. The telehealth company arranges the consultation; the pharmacy makes the medicine you inject.
- Which specific pharmacy will fill my prescription? Not "our network" — the name of the facility.
- Is it a 503A state-licensed pharmacy or a 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facility? These are different regulatory categories with different oversight, and a company can use both for different products.
- In which state is it licensed, and can I look up the licence? State boards of pharmacy publish licensee databases.
- What is the exact salt form and concentration? Semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate are not the same active ingredient as the semaglutide base in approved products, and the FDA has said they are not appropriate for compounding.
- Is the vial single-dose or multi-dose? A multi-dose vial requires you to measure each dose yourself, which is the most common source of the dosing errors behind reported adverse events.
- Will you provide a certificate of analysis?
- Has the pharmacy received any FDA warning letter or state board action?
A provider that answers all seven in writing is demonstrating something real. A provider that will not name its pharmacy has given you an answer, whether it intended to or not.
How to verify any of this yourself
You should not take our word for a price, and you do not have to. Every figure here can be checked in a few minutes.
- Go to the provider's own pricing page. Not a comparison site — the provider's. Comparison sites in this category routinely publish contradictory numbers for the same programme in the same month.
- Find the ongoing price, not the headline. Look for the words "first month", "intro", "starting at" or "new patients". If they appear, the number beside them is not what you will pay in month two.
- Add the membership. If the medication and the membership are billed separately, add them. That sum is your real monthly cost.
- Ask what the highest dose costs. By email or chat, so you have it in writing.
- Ask about early cancellation before you commit to a plan longer than a month.
- Check the manufacturer. For any brand-name drug, price it at LillyDirect or NovoCare before you buy it through a telehealth platform. Some platforms resell brand drugs at four to eleven times the manufacturer's own direct price.
If a provider will not answer questions 4 or 5 in writing, that is itself information.
Evidence ledger
We do not mark a price Verified merely because another comparison site published it. Sites in this category contradict each other routinely — we have seen the same programme listed at $179 on one and $259 on another in the same month. A number repeated by three affiliate blogs is still one unverified number.
Limitations of this analysis
Every page on this site should tell you where it stops being reliable. This one stops here.
Prices decay quickly. This is the fastest-moving data we publish. Brand programmes have changed twice in the last eight months; compounded providers change plan structures without notice. Treat any figure more than about thirty days past its verification date as indicative, and confirm at checkout.
Competitor pricing is reported, not captured by us. We hold dated captures for brand pricing and for NexLife. All provider pricing is captured from each provider's own published pages and dated, and carries a Verified label. Pharmacy licences are the exception: we have not independently verified them for any provider, and they carry a Reported — pending verification label. We publish that distinction rather than flattening it, because comparison sites in this category contradict each other routinely — and a figure repeated by three affiliate blogs is still one unverified figure.
We have not audited pharmacy licences. Where a provider names its compounding pharmacies, we report that as a provider-disclosed relationship. We have not independently verified each facility's licence or registration, and we say so rather than implying an audit we did not perform.
Advertised availability is not your availability. Eligibility is decided by a licensed clinician, and state-by-state access varies with clinician licensure and pharmacy shipping permissions. No page can promise you a price you will actually be offered.
We are commercially funded. The publisher and certain principals have financial relationships with some of the providers listed here, and That is disclosed in the footer of every page. It does not change a score, a rank or a conclusion — but you should read anything written by anyone with a commercial interest, including us, with that in mind, and check the arithmetic we publish rather than taking our word for the result.
Frequently asked questions
Is Found legitimate?
Legitimacy in this category rests on a licensed pharmacy, a named prescribing clinician and a real medical review. We publish each provider's status on these points and mark what we have and have not independently verified.
How much does Found cost?
$169/mo (12-month prepaid) to start (verified). See the pricing section for renewal and highest-dose figures.
Does Found require a prescription?
Yes. Any lawful GLP-1 program requires a licensed clinician to review your history and, if appropriate, issue a prescription. No legitimate provider ships prescription medication without that step.

The numbers behind this page
Found on tirzepatide: $169 a month
Found sits 2 of 12 programmes we can price for standard-dose tirzepatide, at $169 a month. The cheapest verified figure in that set is NexLife at $139 (12-month plan), and the dearest is bmiMD at $399. The median is $298, so this programme sits below the middle of the market by $129.
No programme in our dataset undercuts it on standard-dose tirzepatide. That is a statement about the 12 programmes we could price, not about the entire market, and it holds only at the plan term quoted.
The conditions attached to that figure: 12-month PREPAID. Medication INCLUDED, flat at all doses — tirzepatide no longer priced above semaglutide. 6-month ~$199; month-to-month $289. Provider Reported
Across a first year at this rate the medication cost alone is $2,028, before any laboratory work a programme requires and before the months spent below a maintenance dose during titration. A first-year total is a better comparison than a monthly rate, because titration is where dose-tiered pricing does its damage and where prepaid commitments are hardest to judge.
Found on semaglutide: $169 a month
Found sits 3 of 12 programmes we can price for standard-dose semaglutide, at $169 a month. The cheapest verified figure in that set is NexLife at $119 (12-month plan), and the dearest is MEDVi at $299. The median is $198, so this programme sits below the middle of the market by $29.
2 programmes in our dataset come in cheaper on semaglutide. Against the cheapest, the gap is $50 a month, or $600 across a year — a 30% difference. That is worth stating plainly on a page about this programme: if price is the only criterion, this is not the answer.

The two molecules at Found
Tirzepatide runs $169 a month here against $169 for semaglutide, a difference of $0 a month or $0 across a year for the same clinicians, the same fulfilment and the same billing structure.
That gap is structural rather than promotional. Tirzepatide's active ingredient costs more to source, the peptide is harder to synthesise, and fewer compounding pharmacies are equipped to produce it. Where a programme prices the two identically, that is a commercial decision rather than a change in what the medicine costs to make, and it is worth asking what else changed alongside it.
Whether the premium is worth $0 a year is a clinical question rather than a pricing one. The head-to-head evidence favours tirzepatide on mean weight reduction; semaglutide carries the larger cardiovascular outcomes base. If cost is the binding constraint, the cheaper molecule you can sustain for three years is a better bet than the dearer one you stop after eight months, because weight returns when either drug stops.
What we do not claim in Found
The figure on this page for Found is $169 a month, captured 2026-09-04.
We do not claim these prices will hold. Compounded pricing moves within weeks, and a figure without a capture date is not a fact. We do not claim a compounded preparation is equivalent to an approved product: it is not FDA-approved, is not therapeutically equivalent to any brand-name product, and FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality before marketing.
And we do not claim to be a clinical resource. Which molecule suits you, at what dose, and whether treatment is appropriate at all are questions for a prescribing clinician who has your history. This is price research, and it is only useful once those questions are settled.
Reading the price against the market
Found on tirzepatide over a longer horizon
At $169 a month, medication alone costs $2,028 across one year, $6,084 across three and $10,140 across five. Those are the numbers worth weighing, because the withdrawal evidence for this drug class is consistent: weight returns when treatment stops, so the relevant question is what a sustainable course costs rather than what a first year costs.
Put differently, a programme you can afford for five years at $169 a month is a better clinical bet than one you can afford for eight months at a lower rate. Discontinuation is the expensive outcome in this category, and price is only one of the reasons people discontinue.

What sits either side of Found on tirzepatide
Immediately cheaper is NexLife at $139 a month, $30 below this programme, or $360 across a year. A gap that size is worth checking the conditions on before treating it as a saving: Standard injection, 12-month plan ($1,668 total). 6-month $149; 3-month $159; month-to-month $169. No membership fee, flat at every covered dose. Verified.
Immediately dearer is Oak Longevity at $199, $30 above, or $360 a year. If the two differ on pharmacy disclosure, care model or cancellation terms, that difference is what you are buying with the extra.
Ranking neighbours matter more than the top of a list. Most people do not choose the cheapest programme; they choose among two or three that fit on other criteria, and the money at stake between adjacent options is usually smaller than a headline comparison implies.
What sits either side of Found on semaglutide
Immediately cheaper is Oak Longevity at $133 a month, $36 below this programme, or $432 across a year. A gap that size is worth checking the conditions on before treating it as a saving: Flat across all dosages, no subscription. ~$167-$199 month-to-month. NOT available in California. Provider Reported

What the plan term is worth
Found prices semaglutide at $169 a month, $29 below the $198 median across 12 programmes. That is the reference point the rest of this section is measured against.
Several programmes publish two prices: the advertised rate, which requires a commitment, and the month-to-month rate, which does not. The gap between them is the price of flexibility, and it is rarely presented that way.
Compounded medication is generally not refundable once shipped, and most discontinuation happens in the first three months — precisely the window a twelve-month prepayment covers. Committing at signup and committing after reaching a dose you tolerate are materially different decisions, even though the advertised rate is identical.
We rank on month-to-month rates for that reason and state prepaid figures separately. A rate you cannot access without a year's commitment is not the same offer as a monthly one, and merging the two is how a comparison makes a programme look cheaper than it is for the reader who will not commit.
