Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices
Noom Med prices full-dose semaglutide at $129 for the first four weeks and $279 a month after that, with the medication shipped to you.
Both numbers sit in Noom's own table, so nothing is hidden. What is hidden is which program the $279 belongs to: two paragraphs higher, the same program name carries a price of $179 a month instead.
- Advertised $129, actually $279
- Month-to-month price published
- Coverage not verified
The verdict
The figures are real and the medication is included. The problem is that Noom's own page gives one program two different prices.

Pros and cons
What we like
- The price table states the first-month rate and the recurring rate separately, in the same row, for all six plans.
- Every row says whether the medication is included or filled at your own pharmacy — the single fact most sellers leave to the footnotes.
- The medication is shipped to you on the compounded plans, so $279 is the whole monthly bill rather than a fee that sits on top of a drug cost.
- The behavior-change program is priced separately at $17.42 a month, so you can see what the clinical layer is actually adding.
What could be better
- One program name carries two prices on one page: $279 a month in the table, $179 a month in the paragraphs above it.
- The microdose plan's starting price is $79 in the table and in one footnote, and $49 in another footnote on the same page.
- The branded-medication plan at $129 a month doesn't include the drug, and Noom never says what a Wegovy or Zepbound prescription will run you.
- No state list. The page says the programs aren't available in all fifty and stops there.
What it is
Noom Med is the clinical arm of Noom, the habit-change app. A short evaluation matches you with a licensed clinician — the asynchronous review most telehealth prescriptions run on — and if a GLP-1 fits, they prescribe either a compounded plan Noom ships you or a branded prescription you fill yourself. Two different products, not two prices for one, which is what compounded versus brand actually means. The behavior-change program comes bundled either way.

What it actually costs at Noom Med
The pricing table is the clearest thing on the page — every plan lists a first-month rate and the recurring rate in the same row, with the medication included on all but the branded-drug option. NiceRx also includes the medication and holds one rate at every dose.
Two paragraphs above that table, one sentence gives the name "Noom GLP-1Rx Program" to a $179-a-month plan. The table gives that identical name to a $279-a-month plan a few rows down. Measured splits the same two structures and labels which is which, which is what stops this happening.
Who it's wrong for
- Skip it if a single trustworthy number matters to you — the plan names and prices in the table don't match the ones in the prose above it, footnote to footnote. A first-month rate sitting beside a recurring one is where most of that confusion starts.
- Skip it if all you want is cheaper coaching: Noom prices its behavior-change program alone at $17.42 a month, well under what the bundled medical plans run.
- Skip it if a catalog figure is what you are planning around. Zera Health strips the word first from its own first-month rates, which is the same confusion from another direction.
- Want a recurring number for every drug on the menu: Lemonaid Health publishes one for all six it sells.
How Noom Med works
Take the evaluation
A short intake covering your health history and goals, done entirely online.
Get matched with a clinician
A licensed clinician reviews what you submitted and decides whether a GLP-1 is appropriate.
Pick a plan, and that decides who ships the drug
The compounded plans include the medication. The branded plan sends a prescription to your pharmacy and leaves the drug cost to you.

Common questions
How much does Noom Med cost a month?
Full-dose semaglutide is $129 for the first four-week supply and $279 a month after that, with the medication included. Tirzepatide is $149 then $299.
Is the medication included in the price?
On the compounded plans, yes — Noom ships it to your door. On the branded-medication plan at $129 a month, no; you fill the prescription at your own pharmacy and pay for the drug separately.
What is the cheapest Noom Med plan?
The microdose semaglutide plan, at $79 for the first four weeks and $179 a month after. Noom's own footnotes give that starting price as both $79 and $49.
Why do two Noom plans have the same name?
That's the defect we found. The pricing table calls the $129-then-$279 full-dose plan the Noom GLP-1Rx Program, and the paragraphs above it use the same name for the low-dose plan at $179 a month.
Do I need insurance to use Noom Med?
Not for the compounded plans, which are cash-pay and include the medication. The branded-medication plan is built around using insurance at your own pharmacy.
Which states does Noom Med serve?
Noom doesn't publish a list. The plans page states the microdose program is not available in all fifty states and leaves it there.
Why we gave Noom Med a C
Read the full grading rationale
Noom publishes a full price table with real recurring figures and says which plans include medication. Then the same page disagrees with itself: the table prices the Noom GLP-1Rx Program at $129 for the first four weeks, then $279 a month, while the paragraphs above apply that same program name to a low-dose plan at $79, then $179. Both cannot be the price of one program. The page says it isn't available in every state and never lists which.
