Noom Med review
The GLP-1 arm of the habit app millions of moms already know — it works mostly without a video visit and aims at brand-name medication through insurance, but it doesn't say which molecule you're getting or your real quarterly cost up front.

$99/mo semaglutide, $149/mo tirzepatide, one flat price with both medications in a single account — and an intake that walks you through it instead of cornering you with a quiz.
- Meet Sesame
Brand only: Wegovy pill from about $149/mo, Zepbound about $349–$499/mo, with a real video visit — pricier and with more moving parts than a flat compounded plan, but transparent.
- Meet CareBareRX
$199–249/mo semaglutide, $299–356/mo tirzepatide depending on plan — but you only see those numbers after the intake, and the 3-month plan costs more per month than monthly.

How we scored Noom Med
Each factor is judged from Noom Med's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 77/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
A reasonable intake, though a little more standard than hand-held.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Reasonable clinician involvement, though some program details are not public.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Follow-up, titration help and messaging are part of the package.
Cancellation is manageable but not frictionless.
How we verified this review
- Last reviewed

$249 to $299, with a microdose tier at $199 — and none of the compounded tiers says which molecule it dispenses. That gap is Noom's, not ours. It does state clearly that compounded medication is not FDA-approved or reviewed for quality, safety or efficacy.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Noom Med's public signup (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the process. We did not create accounts, enter medical information, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient's outcome.
- 1Complete an online health assessment — no call to schedule to get started
- 2A licensed clinician reviews it; Noom's own transparency page states most care is asynchronous, through in-app messaging, and a live video visit is only offered on some plans
- 3Pick a track: compounded GLP-1 (three tiers, molecule not specified) or the brand-name telehealth track, which bills the clinician fee separately from the medication
- 4Weight-loss medication, GLP-1s included, ships within 7 days once prescribed, per Noom's own site
What we noticed
- The clinician fee and the medication cost are two separate charges on the brand-name track — the advertised number isn't your full monthly cost
- The three compounded tiers step up in price ($199 → $249 → $299) and Noom doesn't say which molecule each one includes
- Billing is quarterly after the first supply on every tier, so budget in 3-month blocks, not monthly

What we like
- Care is mostly asynchronous per Noom's own information — no camera appointment needed on most plans
- Built-in behavior-change coaching, from a brand many moms already use
- Aims for FDA-approved brand-name medication (Wegovy/Zepbound/Ozempic/Mounjaro) with insurance help on the telehealth track
- Medication ships within 7 days of being prescribed, per Noom's own site
The caveats
- None of the three compounded plans say which molecule (semaglutide or tirzepatide) they include — a real gap in Noom's own disclosure
- The $39/$99 fee on the brand-name track is the clinician charge only; medication cost is separate and depends on insurance
- Billed quarterly after the first supply, so a monthly-sounding price is really a 3-month commitment
- Not available in all 50 states, and Noom doesn't say which are excluded
Noom Med: the coaching-first route, with two real gaps in the fine print
Noom Med bolts a prescriber onto the habit-tracking app millions of moms already have on their phone. That's the pitch, and it's a real one — behavior-change coaching bundled with the GLP-1 prescription instead of the medication alone. But two things on Noom's own pricing page keep it off the top of this list: none of its three compounded tiers say which molecule you're getting, and the brand-name track splits the clinician fee from the medication cost, so the first number you see isn't your real monthly.
Three tiers, and Noom won't say which drug is in them
Noom's three compounded plans, per its own pricing page: Microdose GLP-1Rx starts at $79 for the first supply, then $199/month; GLP-1Rx at $129, then $249/month; GLP-1Rx Plus at $149, then $299/month — all billed quarterly. That's a real, published price ladder — but Noom names these plans by program, not by molecule, so you won't know whether you're on semaglutide or tirzepatide until you're already in the clinical flow. If knowing your drug before you commit matters to you, that's a real gap versus providers that post it plainly.
The brand-name track's price is a fee, not a total
Noom also offers a telehealth track aimed at brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro, posted at $39 the first month, then $99/month. Read that as the clinician and coaching fee only: the medication cost is separate and depends on your insurance. For anyone who's fought a prior authorization before, that's not a surprise, but it does mean the $39/$99 number isn't what you'll actually pay.
What Noom gets right: mostly async, and fast to ship
Credit where it's due. Noom's own transparency page states that most care is delivered asynchronously, through in-app messaging with a clinician, and a live video visit is only offered in some programs — not the default. That's a genuine fit for a schedule with no gaps in it. Medication also ships within 7 days of being prescribed, per Noom's own site, which is competitive with the faster providers in this market. If speed and a no-camera start are your priority and the pricing questions above don't bother you, Noom clears that bar.
The bottom line
Noom Med is a real option if structured coaching bundled with your prescription is the point for you, and you're comfortable not knowing your exact molecule or your exact monthly total until you're further into the process. For a mom who wants a clear number and a named drug before she signs anything, CoreAge Rx posts both for less money. Noom earns a place on this list, not the top of it.
The bottom line
Best for: Moms who already trust Noom's coaching style and want habits alongside the medication, and don't mind not knowing the exact molecule or the full monthly cost until they're in the process.

Noom Med, answered
- How much does Noom Med cost?
- As of our last review, Noom Med's compounded pricing starts around $249/mo ($249-299/mo (molecule unspecified; microdose $199) semaglutide, $249-299/mo (molecule unspecified; microdose $199) tirzepatide). Confirm the current all-in price on Noom Med's site before you commit.
- Is Noom Med safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Here is the honest answer: no GLP-1 — compounded or brand-name — is established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use; Noom Med is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning, and talk the timing through with your own clinician.
- Does Noom Med offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Noom Med offers both. Tirzepatide's dual action is often preferred when insulin resistance is driving the weight, which matters with PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does Noom Med land in your ranking?
- Noom Med scores 77/100 on our Mama-Match Score (rank #25), which weights six things that matter to a first-timer. Our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the ranking — see how they compare.
