Collective

#32 of 36
4.6/10

CollectiveOS is a membership telehealth platform operated by Health For Everyone Inc. It advertises compounded semaglutide at $59 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $69 a month, with the same medication price at every dose and no multi-month medication commitment. The required membership is free for 21 days and then costs $199 a year. That makes the first-year cash totals $907 for semaglutide and $1,027 for tirzepatide before any technology transaction fee that the terms permit but do not price. Membership includes clinician review, unlimited doctor messaging, nutrition and lifestyle support, and two-day express cold shipping. Collective links to LegitScript's public checker and identifies MDIntegrations as an example clinician network, but it does not publicly name a dispensing pharmacy or list the states it serves.

Pros & Cons Compared

Collective

Pros

  • +$59/mo compounded semaglutide and $69/mo compounded tirzepatide, with the medication price advertised as flat at every dose
  • +Medication is billed month to month rather than through a required multi-month medication prepayment
  • +Two-day express cold shipping, clinician review, unlimited doctor messaging, and nutrition and lifestyle support are included
  • +The public site links certificate 50716874 to LegitScript's verification checker
  • +The legal entity and MDIntegrations clinician-network relationship are disclosed in the legal pages

Cons

  • The $59 and $69 medication headlines exclude a required $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial
  • The terms permit a nominal technology transaction fee for each electronic prescription but publish no amount
  • No dispensing pharmacy, individual clinician, medical director, or public state-availability list is named
  • The annual membership auto-renews and is generally non-refundable, with no partial-period refunds
  • Only 9 Trustpilot reviews at 4.1/5 when checked September 15, 2026, too few for a mature reputation signal
  • Cash-pay compounded medications only; no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound and no insurance or prior-authorization service

Found

Pros

  • +Active insurance coordination, Found contacts your insurer and reports which GLP-1s are covered, prior auth requirements, and estimated copay
  • +10+ medication options including both compounded and brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound, Wegovy pill), the widest formulary of any platform
  • +With insurance the plan starts at $99/mo on a 12 month term, below its own $169/mo cash figure, plus a copay Found puts at around $30 for most members
  • +Most members start treatment within one week of completing the health questionnaire

Cons

  • The advertised prices need a 12 month plan paid up front. Found's pricing page lists $169/mo cash or $99/mo insured on that plan, and $289/mo cash or $199/mo insured if you pay month to month
  • The insurance route adds steps compared with flat cash-pay platforms, and the copay Found quotes at around $30 for most members is charged on top of the plan price, not instead of it
  • Compounded medication availability may shift with FDA enforcement changes; the 10+ medication formulary lets your clinician move you to a brand-name option if it does

Our Verdict

Found edges out Collective with a score of 7.3/10 vs 4.6/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Collective is from $59/mo; Found is published $148/mo; total not verified. Found accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Found offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
