Short answer: bmiMD scores higher on our rubric, 8.0/10 against 7.4/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

bmiMD beats Noom Med overall, scoring 8/10 vs 7.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: bmiMD is $289/mo month-to-month; Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo. Choose bmiMD for users who want an established, large-scale platform with same-day consults and strong promo pricing.

Noom Med

Pros

  • +Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app

  • +Insurance accepted for qualifying plans, can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs on brand-name meds
  • +Industry-leading behavioral coaching app with years of psychology-based weight loss methodology

Cons

  • Tiered pricing is genuinely confusing, and the cheapest advertised tier ($69 then $99/mo) is metformin rather than a GLP-1, which is easy to mistake for the GLP-1 entry price [Verified 2026-07-27]
  • Full GLP-1Rx program requires 12-week subscription ($149 intro rate applies only for the first few weeks)
  • Medication costs on the $69 tier are out-of-pocket, the low tier price is just the platform
  • App coaching still requires real engagement, skip-prone users waste the behavioral value
