Found and Medvi prescribe the same GLP-1 medications — so what really separates them is the care around the prescription. Found is our pick for best for coaching; Medvi, for best for simple glp-1 access. Here's how they stack up, category by category.
Bottom line: Found wins
Found wins for anyone who wants support built in — coaching, community and a strong app. Medvi is the leaner choice for people who just want the medication handled without the extras.
Round by round
We scored both programs on the six things that actually decide a weight-loss plan. Found takes 3, Medvi takes 0, with 3 even. Here's how each category shook out.
Clinical support
How much real clinician time, messaging and follow-up you get. Found scores 9.0 to 8.4 — clearly ahead.
Medication access
The range of GLP-1 options and how easily the plan adapts. Found and Medvi are evenly matched.
Value
What you get for the money, judged against comparable programs. Found and Medvi are evenly matched.
Onboarding

App & tracking
The quality of the day-to-day tools. Found scores 9.4 to 8.0 — clearly ahead.
Transparency
How clearly pricing and terms are laid out up front. Found scores 8.9 to 8.4 — a step ahead.
Where they differ most
The clearest daylight between them shows up in app & tracking, where Found leads 9.4 to 8.0 and clinical support, where Found leads 9.0 to 8.4. Zoom out and the split is simple: Found is our pick for best for coaching, while Medvi earns Medvi's place as best for simple glp-1 access.
On medication access, value, and onboarding, there's little to separate them — both land within a couple of tenths, so those categories won't decide your choice.
Pricing: Found vs Medvi
Found and Medvi both sit in the mid-range range ($$), so price isn't the deciding factor between them. Remember that prices move constantly and depend on your dose, so treat the tiers as a guide and confirm the current number with each provider. The figure that matters is the total monthly cost once you reach your maintenance dose — a cheap starter price can climb. We unpack this in how much compounded semaglutide costs.

Which should you pick?
Common questions
Is Found better than Medvi?
In our scoring, Found comes out ahead — 9.0/10 to 8.5/10, winning 3 of the six categories we rate. That makes it our pick for most people. Medvi is still the better choice if you want a clean, quick GLP-1 start and minimal fuss.
Which is cheaper, Found or Medvi?
Neither is dramatically cheaper than the other. Found and Medvi both sit in the mid-range range ($$), so price isn't the deciding factor between them. Whichever you lean toward, compare the total cost at your maintenance dose — not just the introductory price.
Do Found and Medvi prescribe the same medications?
Both work from the same GLP-1 toolkit — semaglutide and/or tirzepatide, branded or compounded depending on the plan. On medication access and flexibility, Medvi scores a little higher in our review. Availability of any specific product shifts over time, so confirm current options with each provider.
Which has better clinician support, Found or Medvi?
Found edges ahead on clinical support in our scoring — that's the depth of real clinician time and follow-up you get. Both include a genuine medical review; the difference is how much ongoing access comes with it.
Are Found and Medvi legit?
Both meet the bar we score for: a real evaluation by a licensed clinician before any prescription, clear medication information, and a way to reach someone with questions. Neither should issue a GLP-1 without a proper review.
Which has the better app, Found or Medvi?
Found has the edge on day-to-day tools and tracking in our scoring. If living in an app and logging progress matters to you, that's worth weighing; if you mostly want the medication handled, it matters less.
Can I switch between Found and Medvi?
Generally, yes. Neither program locks you into a long contract, so if you start with one and it isn't the right fit you can move to the other. Just never stop or change a GLP-1 medication without talking to your clinician first.
