Cost breakdown
The numbers that actually decide it, side by side.
| | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $200 off first month (then plan rate) | Membership + medication (up to $100 off) |
| Semaglutide | Compounded (plan-dependent) | Brand / insurance-dependent |
| Tirzepatide | Compounded (plan-dependent) | Brand / insurance-dependent |
| Offering | Compounded | Branded |
| Shipping | Ships within ~2 days | Fast delivery via pharmacy |

On price, Sprout lists Compounded (plan-dependent) for compounded semaglutide and Compounded (plan-dependent) for tirzepatide, while Found lists Brand / insurance-dependent and Brand / insurance-dependent. Where prices are published, Sprout is the lower-cost option.
The two differ on branded vs compounded, so your insurance situation usually decides it: a covered branded prescription can beat cash compounding, but without coverage compounded is far cheaper.

How we compare — and how to read this
We compare programs on the factors that actually affect a patient: real price (including whether it's compounded or branded), medications and formulations offered, shipping, pharmacy accreditation and clinician model, insurance stance, and commitment. We name a top pick for most people, but we show the trade-offs in full so you can override it when your priorities or insurance point the other way. Pricing is provider-reported and changes frequently — and compounded-drug availability shifts with FDA shortage status — so always confirm the current details on the provider's own site before enrolling.
