Pros & Cons Compared
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
- +Typical insured copay of ~$30/mo for most members, dramatically lower than cash-pay alternatives
- +Most members start treatment within one week of completing the health questionnaire
Cons
- −Costs vary by insurance status and medication choice rather than one flat rate; run Found's coverage check first to see your exact copay before paying
- −The insurance navigation process adds steps compared to simple cash-pay platforms; the payoff is the ~$30 typical copay
- −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
Fridays
Pros
- +One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
- +Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
- +Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
- +Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)
Cons
- −The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
- −Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically
