Found vs Green Cap Health

Found

Visit FoundGreen Cap Health
Cost-first shoppers who want a Texas reader who wants the prescriber and the compounding pharmacy to be the same company.
Visit Green Cap HealthThe verdict
Found takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 88 to 64. The cheapest identical price on both molecules nationwide — unbeatable raw cost-per-month, capped only by a coaching subscription you can't fully unbundle. Green Cap Health still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want a Texas reader who wants the prescriber and the compounding pharmacy to be the same company.

Found
88/100Where the value is
- Lowest cost-per-month on the board — identical $129 on both molecules
- Nationwide
- Strong behavior-change program adds value
The tradeoffs
- Coaching subscription can't be unbundled, which reduces contract flexibility
- Compounded only
Green Cap Health
64/100Where the value is
- Vertically integrated: the prescribing practice and the compounding pharmacy are the same company, so the supply chain is short and named
- Same-day provider review and 1-3 day discreet shipping
- The full commitment ladder is published, so the month-to-month rate and the six-month rate can be compared directly
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279
- The terms disclose a separate Weight Management Program Membership Fee, charged periodically on top of the plan and revealed only during checkout — it appears on no product page
