Head-to-head comparison
Found vs NovoCare Pharmacy
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
The widest medication bench in the ranking — compounded, six brand-name products and oral orforglipron — priced off a membership rather than a sticker.
$289/mo sema · $289/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The $99/mo headline is a longer-plan floor — Found's own FAQ says the 3, 6 and 12-month plans are what keep the monthly cost down, so month-to-month costs meaningfully more
Desk Score
Novo Nordisk's first-party direct-to-consumer pharmacy for branded Wegovy (semaglutide).
$349/mo (brand-name) sema · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
Found takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 79/100 (C+) against 74/100 (C) for NovoCare Pharmacy. NovoCare Pharmacy still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
