What each price covers
Found's price also covers the clinician visit, the medication itself and coaching, which Sesame Care does not claim.
Found is silent on shipping and lab work.
Sesame Care does not say what its price includes.
That matters most for the drug: unless Sesame Care confirms otherwise, budget for medication on top of its listed price.

About Found
Found is a personalized weight care platform. It runs on a self-pay membership, and medication costs sit on top of that.
Read our full Found review →About Sesame Care
A subscription running $39-$99/month pays for the clinical care and nothing else; drugs are charged separately at cash rates, which includes Zepbound from $299 through LillyDirect and a Wegovy self-pay promotion at $199/month. Nothing in the weight-loss line is compounded, only branded. Rather than working off a stocked formulary the way most weight-loss platforms do, Sesame prices transparently and puts patients in touch with independent provider practices.

Found
What we like
- Tirzepatide costs $169 a month, 32% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and coaching
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Found
Watch-outs
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its orforglipron, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Sesame Care
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 20% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its orforglipron, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
Found wins this one, 8.6 to 6.5, above all for tirzepatide at $169/month, 37% below the typical price.
