Quick verdict
Strut Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. One of the cheapest legitimate compounded options in the US market thanks to a niche oral lozenge format. No membership fee, free shipping, free consults and physician access included. Trade-off: lozenge bioavailability data is thin compared to standard injectable semaglutide.
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, member reviews and runs $30/mo cheaper than Strut Health at the entry tier ($169 vs $199). Over a year that's $360 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 Strut Health
Best for oral semaglutide entry
Cost-sensitive patients who want needle-free GLP-1 entry under $100/mo and don't mind a less-studied delivery format.
Strut Health wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Anyone who wants brand-name FDA-approved semaglutide or insurance-billed care. Note also: Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved
If cost is your main filter
Found is the cheaper monthly: $169 all-in vs $199 for Strut Health. That's $30 a month or $360a 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 $90 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 Strut 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, Strut Health's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
