Short answer: Noom Med scores higher on our rubric, 7.4/10 against 5.8/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Noom Med beats Sprout Health overall, scoring 7.4/10 vs 5.8/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Noom Med is $79 first month, then $199/mo; Sprout Health is $199 first month, then $249/mo. 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. Choose Sprout Health for users who want a dedicated care coordinator and locked titration pricing, and will judge service quality in month one.

Noom Med

Pros

  • +Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app

  • +Industry-leading behavioral coaching app with years of psychology-based weight loss methodology

Cons

  • 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
