Provider comparison

Surfbound Health vs Found

One program publishes its standard rate and its first-month discount side by side. That makes this the cleanest comparison in the cluster, and the first month the least useful number on the page.

Short answer

Is Surfbound Health or Found cheaper for compounded GLP-1 injections?

On tirzepatide the recorded monthly charges are $219 at Surfbound Health and $359 at Found. $140 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 39% less than $359. On semaglutide the recorded monthly charges are $169 at Surfbound Health and $289 at Found. $120 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 42% less than $289.

On the standard single-month cash rate, Surfbound Health is lower on both molecules, and the amounts with the date each was read are printed in the table below. Neither program bills a separate membership fee: Found publishes its plan price as including the prescription, the medication and the membership, and Surfbound Health prices one monthly charge with care and shipping inside it, so the two are compared on what the charge actually covers rather than on a headline beside a fee.

Found publishes longer terms as their own rates, and the twelve-month cash rate is printed at $239 a month on compounded tirzepatide and $169 on compounded semaglutide. The semaglutide figure matches Surfbound Health’s single-month charge, so a buyer who commits a year and pays in advance pays the same per month rather than less. Found also records an insurance-covered column for the clinical-care component; the amount depends on coverage this guide cannot see, so it is recorded as published and never set against a cash-pay charge.

Found loses on two things that are easier to miss than a headline figure. Its cancellation terms are stricter than the ones recorded here: the published policy asks for at least 48 hours notice before a renewal, renewal payments are nonrefundable, and the membership refund window closes three days after purchase or at the first consultation, whichever comes first. Surfbound Health records cancellation in the patient portal with no required notice and no fee. Found also leaves an unpriced exclusion in its plan: labs where applicable sit outside the price with no cost published.

The first month is where the two look closest, and it is the figure this page deliberately keeps out of the table. Found discounts the first month to $219 on tirzepatide and $179 on semaglutide before reverting to $359 and $289. A discounted first month is an entry price rather than the rate, and even the discounted tirzepatide month is the same amount Surfbound Health charges every 28-day period without a discount.

Common ownership, disclosed before the comparison

Surfbound Health is operated by the company that operates this guide

GLP1 Buyer Guide and Surfbound Health are both owned by Open Water Rx LLC. When this guide names Surfbound Health, it is naming a program the guide’s own owner also runs and earns from, so we state that commercial interest wherever a Surfbound option appears, not only on the disclosures page.

Both programs on this page are recorded on the same fields from their own published pages, and the lower figure is named on each molecule whoever publishes it. Found is not connected to this guide in any way. Full ownership, advertising and placement statement.

The monthly price, molecule by molecule

Both figures are the standard one-month charge for a single billing period, with the prescription, the medication and the clinical care inside it. Found states that its plan price includes the membership and Surfbound Health prices no separate membership charge, so neither figure has a fee waiting underneath it.

Recorded standard monthly charge for one injectable plan, including every mandatory recurring fee. Each figure carries the date the provider page behind it was checked.

Kept out of that table on purpose: Found’s discounted first month, and its three-, six- and twelve-month cash terms, which the same page prices at $309, $289 and $239 a month on tirzepatide and $249, $219 and $169 on semaglutide. Those are rates the program publishes against a term rather than the price of the one-month plan, so none of them is treated as a monthly charge or divided into one here.

What the charge includes, and how you leave

These are the recorded fields that decide what the plan costs after the first month and what it takes to leave it. Both programs bundle a great deal into one charge, so the inclusions row and the refund row carry most of the difference.

Program terms as recorded from each provider's own pages. Where a program sells two molecules, both are named rather than merged into one figure.

Membership fee. A separate membership is a recurring charge billed on top of the medication. Zero means the program states no separate membership fee, which is not the same fact as an unrecorded amount.

Included services. The services the program states are inside the single charge, in the provider’s own wording.

Required or separate fees. Read from each program’s published terms. Where a fee is conditional or charged once, the record names it here rather than folding it into the charge.

Dose increases. A flat price is a claim that the charge does not rise as the dose increases. It is only established across the doses each program publishes, so the recorded ladder or dose scope is stated beside it.

Billing interval. The interval the provider actually bills on, recorded on each offer and not inferred from the medication supply. A 28-day cycle is not a calendar month, and neither is converted into the other.

Commitment. What the plan records about a minimum term, in the program’s own words. A recurring charge on its own proves neither a minimum term nor the absence of one.

Cancellation. Cancelling stops future orders. It does not reverse an order the pharmacy has already processed on either program.

Refund conditions. A refund is a different question from a cancellation: cancelling stops future charges, while a refund depends on what has already been paid, prepared or shipped. Where a program records a processing charge against a cancellation, it appears here.

Dispensing pharmacy. A pharmacy category describes how a compounded product is regulated. It does not identify the named facility filling a specific order, and it says nothing about the price.

Billing basis, Surfbound Health. Owner-confirmed on October 22, 2026 and corrected on November 11, 2026: billed every 28 days, not once a calendar month.

Billing basis, Found. The reviewed export records a recurring charge on a fixed-day billing interval. Checked 2026-10-22.

Where Found is the better buy, and where it is not

The record puts Found ahead on term structure and on the insurance route, and behind on the recurring charge, the billing cycle and the exit terms. None of those four changes the other three.

Where Found does better

Prints a twelve-month cash rate of $169 a month on compounded semaglutide, which matches Surfbound Health’s one-month charge while requiring a year to be paid in advance.
Publishes an insurance-covered price beside the cash price for the clinical-care component; the amount depends on cover this guide cannot see, so it is recorded and not compared.
Includes 1:1 health coaching, app-based lifestyle tools and member community access beside the medication, inside the same single charge.
Sells branded GLP-1 medications and a separate oral generics plan as well, each recorded as its own product line rather than folded into the compounded price.
Lowers the first month to $219 on tirzepatide and $179 on semaglutide, which reduces the cost of trying the program.

Where Surfbound Health does better

Holds the lower standard monthly charge on both compounded molecules, and the gap is larger than Found’s entire first-month discount.
Bills every 28 days, the same four-week cycle as Found, so the cadence is level and only the charge separates them.
Records cancellation in the patient portal with no required advance notice and no cancellation fee, where the other program asks for 48 hours notice and makes renewal payments nonrefundable.
Carries no unpriced add-on in the plan price: Surfbound records that it neither provides nor bills laboratory services, where labs, where applicable, are excluded from the other program’s plan price with no cost published.
Records a refund position in a published policy rather than a three-day window that closes at the first consultation.

Where the two are level. Both programs price one charge per molecule with the clinical care, the medication and shipping inside it, both state no separate membership charge beside the plan price, and both price one amount across the doses they list rather than by dose tier. On supply they are not level: Surfbound Health records a 28-day supply per charge, while Found leaves the days of medication a charge buys unestablished. Both are compounded preparations rather than FDA-approved products.

What would change the answer. This page exists because a figure moved and was found again. The single-month rate here was first recorded from a medication page that stopped displaying it; the program’s own offer terms still publish it, and that is the page the figure on this page is now read from. Each amount carries the date it was read rather than one freshness stamp for the comparison.

What value does not mean. This is a comparison of price and program terms. It is not a clinical comparison, neither program is claimed to work better than the other, and whether a compounded medication is appropriate is a decision for a licensed prescriber.

The tirzepatide row is the one to watch. Where both programs price both molecules, it carries the larger charge of the two, so a change there moves the monthly bill further than the same change would on the other molecule.

What this comparison does not establish

Found does not publish the days of medication a monthly charge buys, where Surfbound Health records a 28-day supply. Neither program publishes the full dose range its flat price covers, so both flat claims stop where each published list stops.

Found’s insurance-covered price depends on coverage, copays, coinsurance and deductibles, and excludes government plans, so it is recorded as published and never set against a cash-pay charge.

Found states that compounded medications are not available in all states, and neither record names the specific dispensing pharmacy behind an individual order.

Both products are compounded preparations, which are not FDA-approved and are not generic versions of any brand-name medication.

Compounded and brand-name products appear together because buyers compare them. They can share an active ingredient; they are not the same product. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not generic versions of the brand-name medications.

How these figures were checked

Found’s figure is read from its own offer terms, which is where the program publishes the plan table; the medication page is not relied on for a price. The first-month discount is recorded on the same record and kept out of every price surface, so the standard rate and the promotion can never be confused for one another.

Each program’s own pricing page was read for this comparison. Every figure below keeps the check date printed beside it rather than a single freshness badge for the page. A recorded figure is kept until a re-read replaces it, and a replaced figure keeps the date of the reading it came from instead of being quietly overwritten.
