Noom Med beats Eden Health GLP-1 overall, scoring 7.4/10 vs 6.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Eden Health GLP-1 is from $249/mo; Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo. Choose Eden Health GLP-1 for people with diabetes, heart conditions, or other risk factors who want a doctor (not a nurse) overseeing their glp-1, with blood panels included.

Eden Health GLP-1

#42 of 54

6.9/10

Premium online weight-loss program from Eden Health (San Francisco, founded 2021). Different from competitors in one specific way: every patient is paired with a board-certified obesity medicine doctor (a doctor with specialized training in weight and metabolism), not a general practitioner or nurse. Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly cost. Eden prescribes both compounded GLP-1s (custom-made versions, not the FDA-approved brand) and brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro.

7.4/10

Noom restructured Noom Med in 2026 into a GLP-1 ladder plus a non-GLP-1 pill: Microdose GLP-1Rx at $79 then $199/mo, GLP-1Rx at $129 then $249/mo, GLP-1Rx Plus at $149 then $299/mo, and a metformin pill at $69 then $99/mo that is not a GLP-1. Verified 2026-07-27. Historic note: the Full GLP-1Rx program ($149 intro → $349/mo on 12-week subscription). Coaching app included at every tier.

Eden Health GLP-1

Pros

+4.5 stars across 3,777 verified Trustpilot reviews, 77% give 5 stars. Replies to 99% of negative reviews. The strongest customer-experience signal of any provider in our table.
+Doctors are board-certified obesity medicine specialists, not general practitioners. Specialized training in weight and metabolism.
+Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly price. Most competitors don't include labs.
+Mandatory check-in with the doctor before each dose increase. Won't rush you up the ladder.
+Full medication choice: compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide AND brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro.

Cons

−$249/mo ongoing (month-to-month) is on the high end. Henry Meds is $199/mo for similar compounded care without labs; MEDVi is $179 for month one, then $299 for refills.
−Cash-pay only, no insurance billing.
−Cancellation friction is the main 1-star Trustpilot complaint (13% of reviews). Some users report being billed or shipped after they canceled.
−Their website is not always user-friendly, multiple Trustpilot users mention they had to contact support to make payment or account changes.
−Pharmacy partner not named specifically, 'state-licensed compounding pharmacies' in their marketing, but no individual facility named.
−FDA warning letter #728279, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading marketing claims about compounded GLP-1 products. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an allegation that medication was unsafe.

+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
