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
  • +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

Maximus

Pros

  • +Advertised starting rate of $79.99/mo for compounded semaglutide, among the lowest headline prices we track; the same page also shows $150 per month, and lab work is billed separately
  • +Compounded plans are flat rate across every dose, so titrating up does not reprice your plan
  • +Maximus adds glycine and B12 to its compounded semaglutide, described on the site as a way to further customize and tailor the medication; it cites no clinical evidence for the combination
  • +Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

  • The advertised rates are first cycle prices. Compounded semaglutide steps up from $149.99 to $249.99 a month once the first cycle ends, and tirzepatide from $259.99 to $359.99, with lab work billed on top at $99 for the at-home kit or $19.99 to $115 for a Quest draw
  • The fulfilling pharmacies are named only as initials in the help center, EVR, FCC or VIOS by state for compounded medication and The Pharmacy Hub for brand-name, and not on the product pages a shopper actually reads
  • Brand-name plans are priced by dose tier, so titrating up can move you to a higher monthly rate; compounded plans stay flat across all doses
  • FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Our Verdict

Found edges out Maximus with a score of 7.3/10 vs 5.1/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Found is published $148/mo; total not verified; Maximus is published $79.99/mo; total not verified. Found accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
