Noom Med beats MEDGm overall, scoring 7.4/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDGm is from $179/mo; Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo. Choose MEDGm for shoppers who want a compounded glp-1 with the price visible before intake and are comfortable that no clinician or pharmacy is named. Choose Noom Med for users who want a low-dose glp-1 with biomarker monitoring and can absorb the step from a $79 starter to $199/mo ongoing.

MEDGm

#53 of 53

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+HSA/FSA accepted; free shipping stated

Cons

−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
−Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
−No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify

Noom Med

Pros

+Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app
+Microdose GLP-1Rx is $79 for the first 4 weeks then $199/mo billed quarterly, low-dose GLP-1 plus biomarker monitoring for side-effect-sensitive users [Verified 2026-07-27]
+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
