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

Sesame Care

Pros

+Success by Sesame program launched 2026, $59/mo on a 3/6/12-month plan, bundles labs, unlimited messaging, and provider choice
+Brand-name cash pricing is competitive, Wegovy pen $199 intro / $349 ongoing, Zepbound vial $299, Wegovy pill $149
+Foundayo (Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1) available as of April 2026 at $149/mo
+Original pay-per-visit model still available at $25/consultation for users who just need a prescriber

Cons

−Two distinct products (pay-per-visit vs the Success membership) sit side by side, so decide which you're buying before checkout
−The $59/mo Success by Sesame rate requires a 3-month minimum commitment; month-to-month is available at $99/mo if you don't want to commit
−Compounded meds are de-emphasized in the current marketing, the platform now leads with FDA-approved brand-name paths
−A marketplace rather than a concierge, expect less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms

Our Verdict

Sesame Care edges out Noom Med with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.4/10. Choose Noom Med if you want: users who want a tiered entry into glp-1 care, from $99/mo microdose all-in (low-dose + biomarkers + coaching) up to a full $349/mo medication + coaching program. Choose Sesame Care if you want: users who want cheap fda-approved brand-name glp-1 access ($149-349/mo wegovy and zepbound via success by sesame), or insured patients who just need a prescriber.
