Found vs PauseRX
The verdict
Found takes it — 83.5/100 to 68.5/100.
Found grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The broadest medication bench on the board — compounded, brand-name and oral orforglipron — priced off a membership rather than a sticker.

Graded #14 · B
Strengths
- Widest medication list on this board — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, brand Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda and Victoza, plus oral Foundayo (orforglipron) and Rybelsus
- Flat pricing as the dose increases, so a titration does not raise the monthly cost
- Bills insurance for the clinical visits — the site states most members pay under $30 per visit
- Runs a dedicated GLP-1 microdose programme for people who want a lower starting dose
Where it loses points
- The $99/mo headline is a longer-plan floor — Found's own FAQ says 3, 6 and 12-month plans are what keep the monthly cost down, so month-to-month costs meaningfully more
- Medication cost is separate from the membership and clinical care, so no advertised figure is the all-in number
- The homepage insurance selector lists roughly 41 states, not 50 — coverage is narrower than the service footprint
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Wegovy or Zepbound are
Graded #147 · C
Strengths
- Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, Gilbert AZ) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
- Names its physician network (Beluga Health) — you can research the clinical platform handling your prescriptions
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Corporate legal entity disclosed (PauseRX, Inc.) — uncommon for direct-to-consumer GLP-1 platforms
- Flat $199 'all doses' compounded semaglutide pricing — no per-tier escalation
Where it loses points
- States served not listed — site claims nationwide, but you must contact support to confirm availability
- Restrictive cancellation policy — orders can't be changed or canceled once submitted, and medications can't be returned
- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- Insurance not accepted — cash-pay only; HSA/FSA eligibility not confirmed
Also worth a look
