Head-to-head dispatch
Found vs Vital Edge
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.
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
Vital Edge is a Chattanooga, TN telehealth practice offering physician-supervised GLP-1 weight loss nationwide by video, with medication shipped to your door each month.
Marked down on: Compounded injectable pricing ($350 semaglutide / $450 tirzepatide) runs above the lowest-cost telehealth options
Found takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 81/100 (B−) against 57/100 (C) for Vital Edge. Vital Edge still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
