Is Found or Hims & Hers better?
Found is built to put insurance benefits toward treatment and carries both branded and compounded GLP-1s; Hims is a straightforward cash-pay app centered on compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. It's essentially an insurance-first versus cash-first decision — with the caveat that Hims carries two FDA warning letters and Found carries none, linked in the table below.

What we like
- Starts with a free insurance check rather than a payment, and names the 41 states where it accepts plans
- Fifteen medications listed, including eight branded GLP-1s and four non-GLP-1 weight medications
- Publishes brand-name cash prices openly — roughly $1,100 a month for Ozempic and Mounjaro, from $650 for Wegovy and Zepbound
Watch-outs
- The $99 and $169 headlines require a twelve-month plan paid up front; month to month is $199 and $289
- The program fee and the medication are separate charges, so no single all-in number is published
Pick Found if: You want to see what insurance covers before paying cash, with branded options available.
