Pros & Cons Compared

MyStart Health

+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+HSA/FSA eligible — can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only — no insurance accepted, which limits options for patients with GLP-1 coverage
−Only available in select states — not all 50, and the exact state list isn't published
−Compounded medications only — no brand-name GLP-1 options available

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

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
