Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

+One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
+Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
+Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
+Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

−The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
−Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

Noom Med

Pros

+Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app
+New Microdose GLP-1Rx program ($99-149/mo), low-dose GLP-1 + biomarker monitoring for sensitive users
+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 creates confusion, $69, $99-149, or $149-349 depending on tier
−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
