Noom Med GLP-1 Reviews (2026): $79 Starter, Then $199/mo, Scored 7.4/10

Noom restructured Noom Med in 2026 into a GLP-1 ladder plus a non-GLP-1 pill: Microdose GLP-1Rx at $79 then $199/mo, GLP-1Rx at $129 then $249/mo, GLP-1Rx Plus at $149 then $299/mo, and a metformin pill at $69 then $99/mo that is not a GLP-1. Verified 2026-07-27. Historic note: the Full GLP-1Rx program ($149 intro → $349/mo on 12-week subscription). Coaching app included at every tier.

Bottom line

Noom Med is the best choice for users who believe lasting weight loss requires behavior change alongside medication. Full verdict ↓

Independently researched. Every statistic links to a primary source (NEJM, JAMA, FDA, CMS, or the provider's official disclosures). Affiliate status never changes a provider's score; featured picks are affiliate partners, disclosed. Last verified May 17, 2026.

Clinical evidence: 20.9% average body-weight reduction at 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM, 2022). Individual results vary; compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved.

Summarize this article with

Noom Med scores 7.4/10 in our independent review. Its headline semaglutide offer is $79 first month, then $199/mo. Noom Med now runs a GLP-1 ladder billed quarterly after a 4-week starter: Microdose GLP-1Rx at $79 then $199/mo, GLP-1Rx at $129 then $249/mo, and GLP-1Rx Plus at $149 then $299/mo. Watch the cheapest line on their pricing page, the $69-then-$99/mo tier is oral metformin and not a GLP-1 at all.

What makes it different: The only GLP-1 platform built on a decade of behavioral psychology research, combining medication with Noom's proven coaching methodology for lasting habit change.

Noom Med Pros and Cons

What We Like
  • +Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app
  • +Microdose GLP-1Rx is $79 for the first 4 weeks then $199/mo billed quarterly, low-dose GLP-1 plus biomarker monitoring for side-effect-sensitive users [Verified 2026-07-27]
  • +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
What Could Be Better
  • Tiered pricing is genuinely confusing, and the cheapest advertised tier ($69 then $99/mo) is metformin rather than a GLP-1, which is easy to mistake for the GLP-1 entry price [Verified 2026-07-27]
  • 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

Our reading

Noom carries a strong overall Trustpilot TrustScore of 4.5/5 across tens of thousands of reviews, but that score reflects the broad Noom diet/coaching app, not the Noom Med GLP-1 telehealth arm specifically. The picture is sharply contradicted elsewhere: BBB shows an A+ letter grade yet a customer-review average around 1.1/5 with 1,000+ complaints in three years, and the recurring criticism across BBB and Reddit centers on hard-to-cancel subscriptions, surprise lump-sum charges, and a $62M settlement over deceptive auto-renewal billing.

What people actually say

Reddit: App/coaching often praised, but recurring threads warn about aggressive auto-renewal, surprise lump-sum charges, and difficult cancellation; GLP-1/Noom Med-specific feedback is thinner than for the core app.

Trustpilot: Verified June 19, 2026, external-reviews verification pass.

Independent, sourced clinical context on the medication class, not a comment on this provider.

If you have a frail older individual who maybe doesn't have much weight to lose, already has lost muscle mass, and you put them on this medication, you could be asking for trouble. You could create more frailty, more muscle mass loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Noom Med different from regular Noom?+
Regular Noom is a coaching-only weight loss app. Noom Med adds clinician-prescribed GLP-1 medication to the coaching program. You get everything in regular Noom plus medical weight management.
Do I have to use the coaching features?+
Technically no, but the coaching is the core value proposition of Noom Med. If you mainly want medication access, compare [GobyMeds](/reviews/gobymeds), which advertises programs from $99/mo without a separate membership fee, and verify the prescribed product and checkout total. MEDVi advertises $179 for the first semaglutide month and $299 refills, but FDA warning letter #721455 is part of its record; compare the ongoing price and warning context before choosing.
What insurance plans does Noom Med accept?+
Noom Med works with most major commercial insurance plans for the medication component. The coaching component is included in the subscription regardless of insurance.
Will Noom Med help with weight maintenance after I stop medication?+
This is Noom Med's key pitch, the behavioral coaching is designed to build habits that persist after medication. Their data shows patients who complete the full coaching program maintain more weight loss post-medication than medication-only patients.
Is Noom Med's $79 price a first-month offer that goes up later?+
Yes. $79 is the introductory rate and it renews at $199 a month, an increase of 152%. Budget against $199 rather than the advertised number: over a year that is $2,268 rather than $948.
What do verified reviews say about Noom Med?+
Noom Med holds Trustpilot: 4.5 across 65,000 reviews; BBB: A+ (accredited since 2021), but BBB customer reviews avg ~1.1/5 with 1,000+ complaints in 3 years. We re-check these against the platforms directly rather than taking a provider's own marketing figure, and where the platforms disagree we show all of them. Our own score for Noom Med is 7.4/10, set by a published methodology that a provider cannot pay to change.
Can I cancel Noom Med, and what are the terms?+
Noom Med states: Cancel anytime, prorated refund for unused months. Cancel before your next billing date rather than on it, and keep written confirmation.
