+Starts patients on gentler liraglutide before escalating, reduces first-week side effect severity

Noom Med

Pros

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

+Industry-leading behavioral coaching app with years of psychology-based weight loss methodology

Cons

−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
