Short answer: Noom Med scores higher on our rubric, 7.4/10 against 7.3/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Noom Med beats Found overall, scoring 7.4/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Found is published $129/mo; total not verified; Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo. Choose Found for insured patients who want their glp-1 coverage checked and their copay minimized. Choose Noom Med for users who want a low-dose glp-1 with biomarker monitoring and can absorb the step from a $79 starter to $199/mo ongoing.

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

Noom Med

Pros

  • +Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app
  • +Microdose GLP-1Rx is $79 for the first 4 weeks then $199/mo billed quarterly, low-dose GLP-1 plus biomarker monitoring for side-effect-sensitive users [Verified 2026-07-27]
  • +Insurance accepted for qualifying plans, can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs on brand-name meds
  • +Industry-leading behavioral coaching app with years of psychology-based weight loss methodology

Cons

  • Tiered pricing is genuinely confusing, and the cheapest advertised tier ($69 then $99/mo) is metformin rather than a GLP-1, which is easy to mistake for the GLP-1 entry price [Verified 2026-07-27]
  • Full GLP-1Rx program requires 12-week subscription ($149 intro rate applies only for the first few weeks)
  • Medication costs on the $69 tier are out-of-pocket, the low tier price is just the platform
  • App coaching still requires real engagement, skip-prone users waste the behavioral value

Our Verdict

Noom Med edges out Found with a score of 7.4/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Found is published $129/mo; total not verified; Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo.
