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
SkinnyRx
Pros
- +Five medication formats, the broadest compounded-GLP-1 menu in DTC telehealth, including the rare oral tirzepatide tablet that almost no competitor offers
- +$199/mo entry price for both injectable and sublingual semaglutide is competitive in the mid-tier compounded segment
- +Fast onboarding: 5-10 minute online questionnaire, physician review in 24-48 hours, medication delivered in 3-7 business days with temperature-controlled shipping
- +4,100+ Trustpilot reviews at 4.8 stars, among the strongest aggregate social-proof signals in the GLP-1 telehealth category
Cons
- −No brand-name FDA-approved options (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro), so patients who want or need an FDA-approved finished product should buy elsewhere
- −Light public disclosure: founders, executive team, medical director, and specific compounding-pharmacy partners are not named on the public site, ask support before enrolling if provenance matters to you
- −Cash-pay only, does not bill commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. HSA/FSA payments are accepted, which is the main way to soften the cost.
- −Independent reviews flag inconsistent customer-service responsiveness, a real consideration since titration support and dose adjustments run through chat

Cheapest in our index
Embody
$69/mo flat rate · 7.3/10 · Compounded
Both Found and SkinnyRx start above the cheapest program we track. Across all 53 providers in our index, that floor is Embody at a flat $69/mo, the same rate at every dose, price checked July 31, 2026. It scores 7.3/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
