Found is a legit online weight loss clinic that’s been around since 2019, and yes, it’s still open and still prescribing GLP-1s. Membership starts at $99 a month if you’re on a 12-month insurance plan, or $169 a month cash pay on that same 12-month plan. If you want to pay month to month with no commitment, it jumps to $199 (insurance) or $289 (cash pay). This found weight loss review breaks down every number, plus the stuff their homepage won’t tell you.

Quick verdict

Good fit for: people who want a real clinician, ongoing coaching, and help figuring out if insurance will cover their GLP-1. Also decent if you want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide bundled into one membership price instead of paying for meds separately.

Skip it if: you want the cheapest possible prescription with zero hand-holding, or you hate dealing with email-only customer support. Found doesn’t have a phone line. Everything goes through the app or email.

Price I checked today: membership starts at $99/month with insurance (paid annually), or up to $289/month cash pay if you go month-to-month. Branded meds like Wegovy and Zepbound cost extra; more on that below.

What is Found, really?

Found is a telehealth weight care company. You do an online assessment, a licensed clinician reviews it in a day or two, and if you qualify, you get a treatment plan. That plan might include a GLP-1 medication, lifestyle coaching, and check-ins with your care team. They also built something called MetabolicPrint, which is their way of grouping people into a few different “why you struggle with weight” profiles and tailoring the plan around that.

Is it gimmicky? A little, gonna be honest here. But the clinical part underneath, GLP-1 prescriptions plus monthly provider check-ins, is the same basic model as most of their competitors.

Found weight loss review: what it actually costs

This is the part people search for, so let’s get right into it. Found lists this on their pricing page as of today:

  • $99/month with insurance, if you pay for a full 12 months up front
  • $169/month cash pay, also on the 12-month prepaid plan
  • $199/month with insurance, if you pay monthly with no long-term commitment
  • $289/month cash pay, paying monthly

That “starting at $99” number you see on their homepage is the best-case scenario. It only applies if you have insurance and commit to paying for a year at once. If you just want to try it month-to-month and pay cash, you’re closer to $289.

With insurance, Found also says most members pay a copay of about $30 on top of their plan price. Your real number depends on your specific plan and deductible, so that part really does vary person to person.

What’s included in that membership price

Compounded medications, meaning compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, are built into the membership cost. So if your plan covers a compounded med, you won’t get a second bill for it.

Branded medications are a different story. Found lists these directly on their site:

  • Ozempic, around $1,100 a month
  • Wegovy, starting around $650 a month.
  • Zepbound, starting around $650 a month.
  • Mounjaro, around $1,100 a month
  • Saxenda and Victoza, priced case by case

So if your clinician prescribes a brand-name drug instead of a compounded one, that cost sits on top of your membership fee. This is the part a lot of people miss when they see “starting at $99” and assume that covers everything. It doesn’t, unless your plan happens to include the medication.

What meds does Found prescribe?

Found’s current lineup, straight from their medication page, includes:

  • Compounded semaglutide
  • Compounded tirzepatide
  • Ozempic
  • Wegovy
  • Zepbound
  • Mounjaro
  • Rybelsus
  • Saxenda
  • Trulicity
  • Victoza
  • Foundayo (orforglipron), their newest addition
  • Contrave
  • Metformin, topiramate, and zonisamide as add-on or alternative options

That’s a wider formulary than a lot of competitors offer. If you want the option to switch between compounded and brand-name without changing providers, that flexibility is one of Found’s stronger points.

How signup actually works

You fill out a health assessment online; it takes 10 to 15 minutes. A board-certified clinician reviews it, usually within a day or two. If you’re eligible, they build you a plan and, if appropriate, send a prescription to a partner pharmacy. Found says most people can start treatment within a week of finishing the assessment.

After that, you get monthly check-ins, a health coach, access to their AI assistant called Aimee, and a members-only community in the app. Sounds like a lot, and honestly, it is more structure than some bare-bones telehealth sites give you.

Does Found take insurance?

Yes, for a lot of people. Found says they have in-network clinicians for about 1 in 3 Americans, and they accept major insurers including United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield plans depending on your state. They also run a free coverage checker on their site so you can see if your plan qualifies before you commit to anything.

One catch: not every state has plans available. As of today, for example, California shows no plans available on their pricing page. So check your state before you get excited about a number.

How do you cancel Found?

This part matters more than people think. You can cancel any time by emailing support at joinfound.com, or through the app by going to your Account Details and clicking Cancel Membership. Found says cancellation is effective within 24 hours, and there’s no early cancellation fee.

Sounds simple on paper. In practice, this is also the number one thing people complain about.

Common complaints about Found

I looked at Trustpilot and BBB reviews, not just Found’s own marketing. Found sits around a 3.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from several hundred reviews, and a B minus with the Better Business Bureau. The complaints cluster around a few repeat issues:

  • Getting charged for something they thought they’d already canceled
  • Slow refunds, or refunds getting denied
  • No phone number, so if something goes wrong you’re stuck waiting on email replies.
  • A few people say the pricing felt clearer in the ads than it did once they were actually signed up.

The good reviews, and there are plenty, mostly talk about helpful coaches and real weight loss results. So the medicine and coaching side seems to work for a lot of people. The billing and support side is where things get messy. If you sign up, set a calendar reminder for your renewal date, so you’re not caught off guard.

Who should use Found, and who shouldn’t

Use it if you want a program that combines medication with actual coaching, you’re okay using email or app-based support instead of a phone line, and you’re willing to double-check your insurance coverage before committing to a plan.

Skip it if you want the rock-bottom price with no extras, you get frustrated without phone support, or you’re not okay with the idea that brand-name meds cost extra on top of your membership.

My honest take

Found isn’t the cheapest GLP-1 option out there, and it’s not trying to be. What you’re paying for is the coaching layer and the insurance navigation on top of the prescription itself. If that structure sounds useful to you, it’s a solid pick. If you just want a bare-minimum prescription service for the lowest possible price, you’ll probably find cheaper elsewhere. Either way, talk to your doctor about whether a GLP-1 is right for you before you sign up for anything.
