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
Hims
Pros
- +Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS), SEC-filed financials, regulatory accountability that private competitors don't have.
- +2026 Novo Nordisk partnership, FDA-approved Wegovy injection, Wegovy pill, and Ozempic now available directly through Hims. Real brand-name access from a single platform.
- +$199/mo all-inclusive for compounded semaglutide, including consultations and shipping.
- +Polished app and web experience, among the best user interfaces in men's telehealth.
- +8,286 verified Trustpilot reviews is the second-largest review volume in our table (after Henry's 12,461), significant real-world adoption.
Cons
- −Trustpilot rating is 3.0 stars / 8,286 reviews (May 2026), significantly below Henry Meds (4.5), Eden Health (4.5), Yucca Health (4.6), MEDVi (4.4). The lowest customer-experience signal of any major brand we track.
- −28% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, the highest 1-star rate in our table. Top complaint themes: subscription handling, unexpected charges, customer service responsiveness.
- −Hims reviews span ALL their products (ED, hair loss, mental health, weight loss), not just GLP-1. But the rating still applies because most users don't separate experiences by product.
- −'Hims Oral Kit' is NOT a GLP-1, it's a non-GLP-1 metabolic combination (metformin + bupropion + topiramate + B12 + naltrexone). Easy to confuse with their compounded semaglutide. Read the product page carefully before signing up.
- −Brand Wegovy at $599/mo is not competitive with LillyDirect/NovoCare cash prices or with Hers ($149/mo for the same product via the same Novo partnership).
- −Generic high-volume support, large patient base means less personalized attention than smaller competitors.
Our Verdict
Hims edges out Found with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, Found starts at $129/mo compared to Hims's $199/mo. Found accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Choose Found if you want: insured patients who want their glp-1 coverage checked and their copay minimized. Choose Hims if you want: men who want a well-known publicly-traded brand and fda-approved wegovy through the 2026 novo nordisk partnership, but should know going in that hims' customer-experience signal is weaker than smaller competitors.
Still undecided? Editor's Featured Pick
Yucca Health
