Found wins on our rubric, 8.8/10 to 7.7/10. It leads most on support. Choose Sprout instead if you want the lower entry price — $149/mo vs $198/mo.
Round by round
We scored both programs on the four factors in our methodology — value, support, medications and transparency. Found takes 3, Sprout takes 0, with 1 even. Here's how each shook out.
Value
What you get for the price — not just the lowest sticker. A premium program that includes FDA-approved medication, insurance help and real support can be good value. Evenly matched at about 7.8.
Support
Real clinician access, coaching and follow-up — video visits and a care team score higher than async-only. Found scores 9.2 to 7.4 — clearly ahead.
Medications
Medication options and legitimacy — FDA-approved branded (Wegovy, Zepbound) rates above compounded-only, and breadth and flexibility add points. Found scores 9.4 to 8.4 — clearly ahead.
Transparency
How clearly and publicly pricing, terms and availability are stated — plus track record and any regulatory red flags. Found scores 8.4 to 7.4 — clearly ahead.
Where they differ most
The clearest daylight is in support, where Found leads 9.2 to 7.4 and medications, where Found leads 9.4 to 8.4. On price, Sprout starts lower ($149 vs $198 per month).
Pricing: Found vs Sprout
Sprout has the lower advertised starting price — $149/mo vs $198/mo for Found. But read the fine print: Found is membership + medication (billed separately) and Sprout is all-in, includes medication, and the cheapest rates often need a prepaid multi-month plan — so compare the real all-in cost at your maintenance dose, not the headline. We unpack how these plans are structured in how much compounded semaglutide costs.
Found: $99–$149/mo Rx membership + compounded from $99/mo (or $49/mo coaching-only, no Rx) (as of Sep 2026, joinfound.com). Sprout: Intro starting rate; ongoing ~$249/mo (semaglutide) / ~$299/mo (tirzepatide) (as of Sep 2026, health.usnews.com).

Are Found and Sprout legit?

Can I switch between Found and Sprout?
