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

+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
