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

Shed

Pros

+Industry-leading delivery speed, most patients receive medication within 2-3 days of enrollment
+$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
+Streamlined onboarding with no video call, approved and shipped faster than most competitors
+Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

−The core $199 program is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; brand-name access runs through a separate $99/mo pathway subscription with medication billed at pharmacy rates on top
−Newer company (founded 2024) with limited long-term track record and outcome data; the 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating across 766 reviews is the strongest early evidence available
−No insurance billing and no FSA/HSA superbills currently available
−Clinical support is responsive (replies typically within 24 hours) but less proactive than premium platforms; a $49.99/mo premium coaching add-on covers those who want higher touch

Our Verdict

Shed edges out Found with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, Found starts at $129/mo compared to Shed'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 Shed if you want: users who want fast delivery and a streamlined compounded glp-1 experience.
