Pros

+Flat $99/mo semaglutide at ALL dose levels, saves $100-200/mo vs competitors who charge more at higher doses
+4 semaglutide formats: injection, oral tablet, oral drops, and microdose, the most delivery options of any platform
+Registered dietitians included alongside physicians, not just medication, but nutritional support
+Both compounded and brand-name medications available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus)

Cons

−Separate $79/mo membership fee makes the real cost ~$178/mo for semaglutide, not the advertised $99
−No refunds for payments made over 30 days ago, limited consumer protection window
−Relatively new company (founded 2022) with less track record than established platforms

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
