Trade-offs
Strengths and cautions 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
- +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
1 more documented strengths
- +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
Fridays
Pros
- +Compounded semaglutide runs as low as $117 a month on the annual plan with the NYNY12 code printed on its pricing page, against $279 month to month
- +Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
- +Sells brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy alongside compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with an insurance concierge that helps you pursue coverage for the brand-name option through your own plan
1 more documented strengths
- +Signature medication plans include provider visits and coaching. Wegovy pill and pen offers charge membership separately from medication
Cons
- −The lowest advertised compounded prices require an annual commitment and a promo code
- −Compounded medication and virtual visits are cash-pay. Fridays offers insurance and prior-authorization support for brand-name medication, but coverage and your out-of-pocket cost depend on your plan.
