Quick verdict
Found is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. 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.
That said, Sam's Club Member Health wins on specific dimensions. Sam's Club brings the oral Wegovy pill to its pharmacy counter at $149/mo for the starting dose, via the manufacturer's self-pay offer, with a members-only Well app for GLP-1 support. It is a narrow, pharmacy-led offering: branded oral Wegovy only, gated behind a paid membership. For existing members who want the oral pill cheaply, it is a clean option.

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, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. 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 Sam's Club Member Health
Best for members wanting the oral pill
Existing Sam's Club members who want the oral Wegovy pill at a low self-pay price with pharmacist support.
Sam's Club Member Health wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms and runs $20/mo cheaper than Found at the entry tier ($149 vs $169). Over a year that's $240 you keep. The caveat: Non-members, anyone wanting injectable or compounded GLP-1, or anyone wanting a full telehealth care program.
If cost is your main filter
Sam's Club Member Health is the cheaper monthly: $149 all-in vs $169 for Found. That's $20 a month or $240a 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 $60 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 Sam's Club Member Health (no lock-in) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Sam's Club Member Health's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
