Quick verdict
Noom Med is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. The behavioral app most people loved is now bundled with a medication tier and a microdose option that no other major program offers. Watch the dual billing.
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 Noom Med
Best for behavioral coaching plus meds
Patients who want CBT-style behavioral coaching alongside medication, or who specifically want a microdosed GLP-1 protocol.
Noom Med wins on cancellation terms, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients who only want medication and no behavioral content, or who find Noom's app interface annoying.
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 medication options and runs $110/mo cheaper than Noom Med at the entry tier ($169 vs $279). Over a year that's $1,320 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
If cost is your main filter
Found is the cheaper monthly: $169 all-in vs $279 for Noom Med. That's $110 a month or $1,320a 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 $330 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
Noom Med (month-to-month) and Found (12-mo lock-in) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Noom Med's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
