Head-to-head for moms
Found vs Ro

Choose Found if you want a clinician on video first; choose Ro if you'd rather skip a video visit. The details, from each provider's own published prices and terms, are below.

Visit RoThe verdict
Ro edges out Found on the Editors' Rating, 80 to 76 (B− vs C). Mothers who specifically want an FDA-approved brand product with real insurance help and are comfortable inside a large, polished platform, budgeting membership and medication as separate line items.
Found is still a genuine option — the rare program that will write you either a compounded vial or an FDA-approved pen and bill the visit through your insurance, holding one price at every dose. The catch is the calendar: the cheap headline needs a year paid upfront, and every refill needs a video call. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Each side's six factor scores from our women's-health rubric; the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
What Found and Ro cost
On semaglutide, Found charges $289 every 4 weeks at every dose. Ro sells semaglutide only as a brand-name product, from $298 a month, so it is not a like-for-like price with Found's compounded semaglutide.
On tirzepatide, Found charges $359 every 4 weeks at every dose. Ro sells tirzepatide only as a brand-name product, from $448 a month, so it is not a like-for-like price with Found's compounded tirzepatide.
Found advertises $179 for the first order of semaglutide, then $289 from the second; we compare the $289 with Ro, because that is what you keep paying. Found advertises $219 for the first order of tirzepatide, then $359 from the second; we compare the $359 with Ro, because that is what you keep paying.
Both Found and Ro also offer brand-name medication; only Ro posts a cash price for it (from $298 a month).

What the price covers
Found's price includes the clinician consult, the medication and coaching, and lab work is billed or arranged separately. Ro's price includes the clinician consult and coaching, and the medication is billed or arranged separately. So the sticker prices cover different things: the medication at Found but not, or not stated, at Ro. Add the missing pieces before you compare totals.
Where they serve and how signup works
Where they serve: Found, not disclosed — no published state list; Ro, all 50 states + DC (some treatments vary by state). Found doesn't publish a state list, so confirm your state at signup; Ro says it serves all of them.
Found and Ro both show the price before the health questions. Ro lets you start with an online questionnaire alone, while Found requires a live video visit first, which is worth planning around if you have little ones at home.

- You go by our Editors' Rating: 80/100 against Found's 76.
Found
Editors' Rating 76/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Both compounded vials and FDA-approved brand pens on one account, so an on-label option stays open for an OB conversation
- Price stays the same at every dose — the budget doesn't move under you at each titration step
- Clinical visits route through major insurers at around a $30 copay, with a flat $50/mo Medicare Part D tier — close to unique on our list
The caveats
- The $99 and $169 headlines both require twelve months paid up front; month to month it is $289 (semaglutide) or $359 (tirzepatide) cash pay per 28-day cycle, or about $199 with insurance
- Brand-name pen prices are not printed on Found's public pages — ask before you choose that lane
- A video appointment is mandatory for every refill, through the mobile app — a standing commitment, not an async refill
Ro
Editors' Rating 80/100 · Grade B−
What we like
- Genuine brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) access and a dedicated insurance concierge that files paperwork for you
- Oral options and a reliably polished, well-built experience
- Fast cash-pay start — under a week to first dose, per Ro's own site
The caveats
- No compounded option — brand-name only, and cash-pay brand medication is expensive without coverage
- The membership fee and the medication cost are always separate charges — the cheapest standing month is about $298 all-in, and a higher-dose pen month about $500 to $600
- Not disclosed whether monthly check-ins require a live video visit or run async
Found vs Ro: quick answers
Is Found cheaper than Ro?
We can't put Found and Ro side by side on one price: they don't both publish a month-to-month rate for the same medication. Ask each for the full monthly total at your dose before deciding.
Do Found and Ro both offer tirzepatide?
Yes. Found lists tirzepatide at $359 every 4 weeks at every dose, and Ro lists it without a month-to-month price.
Do I need a video visit with Found or Ro?
Found requires a live video visit and Ro starts with an online questionnaire instead. Either way, a licensed clinician reviews your health history before anything is prescribed.
Do Found and Ro serve every state?
Found lists not disclosed — no published state list. Ro lists all 50 states + DC (some treatments vary by state). Confirm your state with each before you pay.
