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

MyStart Health

+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+HSA/FSA eligible, can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first; HSA/FSA cards do work here
−Select states only, not all 50, and the exact list isn't published. Confirm your state during the intake quiz before paying
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu
