Pros & Cons Compared

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

Novi

Pros

+Six disclosed clinicians on staff, Daniel Funsch MD, Michael Wasef MD, Takashi Nakamura MD plus three nurse practitioners (Hastings NP, Clements NP, Vergara DNP), more named providers than most compounded-only platforms publish
+Month-to-month billing with no minimum commitment, cancel before any renewal date with no early-termination penalty
+Aggressive promotional pricing on the offer landing, $99-$133/mo compounded semaglutide and $149-$166/mo compounded tirzepatide with a $200 OFF intro discount
+Unlimited clinician check-ins, dose adjustments, and weight-loss coaching included at no additional cost
+Free 2-day shipping; same active ingredients as Wegovy/Ozempic and Mounjaro/Zepbound (semaglutide and tirzepatide respectively)
+100,000+ patients claimed and editorial coverage in Bloomberg, Forbes, and WebMD provide third-party signal

Cons

−Compounded-only, no FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro through the platform; no Foundayo or oral GLP-1 formats
−Founding year, headquarters city, and corporate ownership are not publicly disclosed
−Promotional $99-$133 pricing applies to the introductory offer landing only, standard rate after any qualifying intro period is $174-$283/mo (verify the renewal rate before enrolling)
−Once medication is dispensed/shipped, prescriptions cannot be returned or refunded, typical for compounded telehealth but worth understanding
−Lab requirements before prescribing are not disclosed on public pages, unclear whether baseline bloodwork is required
−Multiple landing pages (offer-v4, offer-v6-low) show different headline prices, which can create pricing confusion before checkout
