Pros & Cons Compared

Maximus

Pros

+Lowest entry price in the market — $79.99/mo microdose semaglutide, $99.99/mo 3-month starter pack
+GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22 — the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
+Nausea-reducing formula with added glycine and B12 to ease GLP-1 side effects
+Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

−Deceptive pricing structure — $99.99/mo is intro only, standard dosing is $299.99/mo with separate $28-35 consultation fees and $199-349/yr lab costs
−Refuses to disclose compounding pharmacy partners — a transparency red flag for a healthcare platform
−Prices increase as dose escalates on bulk plans — unpredictable total cost over time

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
