The Med+ membership runs $25 for a first month, then $74/mo on a 12-month commitment. Foundayo (orforglipron) is billed apart from that, self-pay, at $149/mo on the starting dose and rising to $299/mo at higher doses. Care comes from the WeightWatchers Clinic affiliate medical group. Among non-pharmacy telehealth programs, few list Foundayo this openly.

How WeightWatchers scores
Six columns, each one computed from something WeightWatchers has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
0.0/10$299/month is 101% above the register median of $149 for brand orforglipron.
Effectiveness25%
8.0/10Dispenses orforglipron, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
5.0/10Where this seller first shows a price is not recorded yet, so the signup is unscored and sits at the midpoint.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; withholds price until after the intake. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.
Support10%
1.5/10The price covers coaching.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

Every figure here was read off WeightWatchers's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- The monthly figure covers coaching
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- Orforglipron at $299 a month, 101% above the $149 register median for the same drug and form
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: medication
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
What WeightWatchers charges
WeightWatchers charges $149/month.
- Brand-name orforglipron — $149/month
- Brand-name orforglipron — $299/month
The median across the comparable providers we track is about $149/month, so this lands mid-market — close enough that the deciding factor is unlikely to be price.
What we could verify
On the record: coaching is included rather than sold on top. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- you want coaching bundled rather than metered
Our read
WeightWatchers lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits.
