Noom Med review

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.

How we scored Noom Med

Each score comes out of Noom Med's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 64/100 Editors' Rating on our weighted six-factor framework. A commission never changes a provider's score.

Family-budget value60/100 · Weak

Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.

Clinical oversight & labs72/100 · Weak

Oversight and lab support fall short of the best we track — the review below says exactly where.

Pricing transparency48/100 · Weak

The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.

Fits around motherhood74/100 · Fair

Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.

Ongoing support & titration80/100 · Solid

Standard support — enough to stay on track, not high-touch.

Flexibility to pause or cancel56/100 · Weak

Leaving costs you — notice windows, minimum terms or fees you don't get back.

GLP-1 telehealth is usually HSA- and FSA-eligible, so check your own plan. Everything above comes from Noom Med's public disclosures at last review and change often; confirm the current number on Noom Med's own site.

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
  • FSA- and HSA-eligible
  • Psychology-based coaching that fits into the gaps of a busy day

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
  • Brand-name care is $129 a month before the medication itself
  • The compounded plans are not available in all 50 states, and no list is published
  • Nothing addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing

Noom Med in short

Noom Med's posted prices aren't a single all-in monthly rate, so read the pricing below before you compare it. In our scoring it does best on support as your dose changes and worst on price transparency.

The program includes coaching, not just a prescription. It offers brand-name pens as well as compounded medication, so you can choose between the two on one account.

Noom Med pricing

  • Compounded semaglutide — Microdose program: $79 to start, then $179/period
  • Compounded tirzepatide — GLP-1Rx Plus (full dose): $149 to start, then $299/period
  • Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound vials, self-pay, plus Noom Med care: $428/period

The prices above are microdosing tiers rather than standard-dose ones, so they sit below the roughly $196/month typical price among the providers we've reviewed for a reason: it is less medication, not a better deal on the same thing.

The price covers the medication and coaching.

The medications Noom Med prescribes

Noom Med prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two GLP-1 medications with the strongest evidence. If insulin resistance is part of your story (PCOS, a history of gestational diabetes), tirzepatide is often the better fit, and you won't need a new provider to try it. Brand-name pens are available too, and their official labeling on pregnancy and breastfeeding is easier to discuss with an OB than a compounded vial.

There's also an oral or under-the-tongue option for mothers who'd rather skip injections. Keep expectations modest: these forms have far less research behind them than the weekly shot.

Getting started

Noom Med doesn't publish which states it serves, so check yours before you start the intake.

Similar providers

Other providers we've reviewed that offer semaglutide and tirzepatide:

  • TellHerDoc — $269/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose
  • LevelUp Rx — $149.97/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose
  • Sunlight — $88/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose

Who Noom Med suits, and who should look elsewhere

Worth a look if…

  • You'd like the option to move to tirzepatide (or back) without changing providers.
  • You want coaching alongside the prescription.

Probably not for you if…

  • You want to be able to cancel easily — read the cancellation terms in the cons first.
  • You need to know up front whether it treats patients in your state — it doesn't publish a state list.
  • You'd like a prescriber to talk through pregnancy, breastfeeding or trying-to-conceive timing first — CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is one to compare for that.

Can you trust it?

It's fair to ask any compounded provider two things: which pharmacy makes the medication, and what's in it. How we score clinical oversight is set out in our methodology.

For mothers, pregnancy plans and breastfeeding deserve a separate clinical discussion. Weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, while breastfeeding advice depends on the medicine and formulation. Ask your clinician to assess your treatment needs and your infant’s circumstances.

Questions to ask before you pay

  • What will I pay each month, and does that change as the dose goes up?
  • Does one billing period mean a calendar month or four weeks?
  • Do you treat patients in my state?
  • How do I cancel, and is there a minimum term?
  • If I get pregnant or start trying, how do I pause, and will I be charged meanwhile?

Our take

Without one all-in monthly price, Noom Med is hard to judge on cost. Its strongest point with us is support as your dose changes; get a quote before you weigh it against the rest. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is worth a side-by-side look before you decide.

The bottom line for mothers

Best for: A mom who already likes app-based habit coaching and wants the medication and the behavior program under one login, whether she pays cash or has insurance for brand-name care.

  • CoreAge RxFeatured partner

    The one program on our list whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.

    Visit CoreAge Rx
  • RxSpan MD is a genuinely well-disclosed service wrapped in marketing that undercuts it. The disclosure: four compounding pharmacies named with phone numbers, two lead physicians named with NPI numbers that verify as active MDs, flat pricing posted before any intake, both compounded and real FDA-approved brand GLP-1s on one platform, and oral capsules for anyone who won't inject. Compounded semaglutide is $249 a month and tirzepatide $329, with brand Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349. The marketing is the problem. Its testimonials still name a different company — one patient describes what she 'expected from CareGLP' — and the doctors quoted in them are not the clinicians the same page names as its medical team. The homepage is built around a board-certified plastic surgeon who founded the practice but is licensed in California only and isn't the prescriber. Its compounded prices also sit above the median price on our list, and the oral capsules cost the same or more than the injections.

    Visit RxSpan MD
  • One of the very few programs that prices the brand-name medications — Ozempic at $1,399, Zepbound at $1,599 — around a compounded offer that is much harder to pin down.

Noom Med, answered

What does Noom Med actually cost each month?
It depends on the plan. The microdose program is $79 for the first stretch, then $179 a month on a 12-week subscription, with medication included. Full-dose compounded tirzepatide is $149 to start, then $299 a month. For brand-name medication, the care plan is $39 to start and then $129 a month, and the medication is a separate bill. These are advertised figures; the recurring invoice amount and billing interval are unconfirmed in our current records. Confirm both before paying.
Is a microdose the same as a regular dose?
No. Noom describes its microdose program as a smaller dose than its standard plan, meant as a gentler start. That makes $179 the price of a lower dose, not of the full treatment, so compare it with other microdose offers rather than with full-dose plans elsewhere. These are advertised figures; the recurring invoice amount and billing interval are unconfirmed in our current records. Confirm both before paying.
Can I use insurance?
For brand-name medication, yes: Noom says it works to make the most of a member's coverage for medication and clinician services. The compounded plans are cash-pay, though they are FSA- and HSA-eligible.
Can I cancel?
Noom says "cancel anytime" on its microdose page, but the plans run on 12-week subscriptions. Before you pay, ask exactly when the next 12-week charge lands and how much of it comes back if you stop partway through.

Pricing, states and verification reflect Noom Med's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
