Visit Noom MedThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Noom Med on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 64 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Noom Med is still a genuine option — the weight-loss app many of us already know, now with prescribers and a long medication list: compounded microdose semaglutide or tirzepatide, full-dose compounded tirzepatide, and brand-name Wegovy, the Wegovy pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Foundayo. The microdose plan is $79 to start, then $179 a month on a 12-week subscription with medication included. Full-dose tirzepatide is $299 a month after a $149 start. Brand-name care starts at $39, then runs $129 a month, with the medication billed separately or through insurance. Every price lives in a footnote, and the footnotes carry different dates, so screenshot the one you sign up under. The compounded plans are not offered in every state, and no state list is published. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

Each side's six factor scores from our women's-health rubric; the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
What CoreAge Rx and Noom Med cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose. Noom Med doesn't sell semaglutide month to month: its lowest figure, $179 per billing period, comes with a longer commitment (microdose program), so the two prices are not like for like.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose and Noom Med charges from $299 per billing period. The billing periods differ, so ask Noom Med for the monthly equivalent before comparing.
Noom Med advertises $149 for the first order of tirzepatide, then $299 from the second; we compare the $299 with CoreAge Rx, because that is what you keep paying.
Only Noom Med offers brand-name medication (from $428 per billing period cash); CoreAge Rx sticks to compounded versions.

So the sticker prices cover different things: the clinician consult and shipping at CoreAge Rx but not, or not stated, at Noom Med; coaching at Noom Med but not, or not stated, at CoreAge Rx.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Noom Med
Editors' Rating 64/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Both compounded and brand-name routes, including the Wegovy pill and Zepbound vials
- The compounded plans include the medication and the full Noom app program in one price
- Works with insurance on brand-name medication rather than refusing it
The caveats
- Prices appear only in footnotes, spread across pages with different effective dates
- The $179 plan is a microdose, not the full dose, and the ongoing full-dose semaglutide price is not published
- Plans bill on 12-week subscriptions despite a "cancel anytime" line
