Quick verdict
Lemonaid Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Lemonaid is a broad-scope telehealth platform (acquired by 23andMe in 2020) offering GLP-1 weight loss as one of several services including hair loss, hypertension and STI testing. Less specialized than dedicated GLP-1 programs but the multi-condition coverage suits patients who want a single telehealth platform for multiple needs. Mid-tier pricing.
That said, Found wins on specific dimensions. Found has the broadest medication catalog of any program here, spanning branded GLP-1s, compounded options and Lilly's newly approved oral pill, Foundayo (orforglipron). The 12-month commitment required for the lowest price is the catch.

When to choose Found
Best for complex clinical workups
Patients whose obesity medicine clinician has flagged a non-standard medication path (multiple drug classes, off-label combinations or 503A-compounded options that other programs have exited).
Found wins on onboarding experience, medication options and runs $129/mo cheaper than Lemonaid Health at the entry tier ($169 vs $298). Over a year that's $1,548 you keep. The caveat: Patients new to GLP-1s who want a simple month-to-month commitment. The 12-month plan required for the lowest price is the most punitive structure short of WeightWatchers Clinic. Note also: Subject to ongoing Lilly compounded-tirzepatide enforcement risk
When to choose Lemonaid Health
Best for multi-condition telehealth in one platform
Patients who already use Lemonaid for another condition or who want one platform handling multiple chronic medications alongside GLP-1.
Lemonaid Health wins on cancellation terms, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients wanting deep obesity-medicine specialization, complex PA cases or the cheapest cash-pay path.
If cost is your main filter
Found is the cheaper monthly: $169 all-in vs $298 for Lemonaid Health. That's $129 a month or $1,548a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $387 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Found (12-mo lock-in) and Lemonaid Health (month-to-month) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Lemonaid Health's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
