The scorecard
LillyDirect Foundayo scored on our six Brief Score factors. See the methodology.
What we like
- Cheapest legal path to a brand-name GLP-1 in 2026 ($25/mo with savings card for commercial insurance)
- Direct from manufacturer — no compounding, no third-party reseller
- Daily oral pill, no injections, no refrigeration
- Available in all 50 states
The caveats
- Lower mean weight loss vs Wegovy (14.9%) and Zepbound (20.9%) — labeled-dose 11.1% per Foundayo PI
- Requires existing prescription from a separate prescriber (LillyDirect does not write the prescription)
- $25 savings card requires commercial insurance — Medicare and Medicaid not eligible
- Strict empty-stomach 30-minute window may be hard for some patients to follow
