Found vs Ro
Found's compounded-plus-brand-name program against Ro's brand-name-only membership, compared on monthly cost, insurance and what each fee covers.
Short answer
Found suits a cash buyer who wants compounded semaglutide included in one plan price: $289 a month, or $199 plus copays with insurance. Ro suits someone set on a brand-name GLP-1, especially with insurance that might cover it. Its $149 membership comes on top of the drug, about $498 a month on a Wegovy pen.

Is Found or Ro better?
The two sell different things. Found's monthly plan includes compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, and it also prescribes brand-name drugs billed separately. Ro prescribes brand-name medication only (the Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound, Foundayo and Ozempic) and charges a membership on top of each drug. Both work with insurance in different ways: Found bills its video visits to your plan, while Ro's concierge chases coverage for the drug itself. Paying cash, Found's compounded plan is the smaller monthly bill. If you want an FDA-approved brand and your plan may pay for it, Ro is built for that.
