What each puts on the record: Noom Med

  • Noom Med listed from $149/month.
  • Microdose GLP-1Rx programme listed from $79/month with medication included.
  • Programme pairs low-dose medication with biomarker monitoring and coaching.

Where it wins: The coaching is the actual product here and it is well built. Watch for: A $79 microdose programme is not the same treatment as 10 mg tirzepatide. Check the dose before comparing on price.

What each puts on the record: Lemonaid Health

  • GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
  • Membership is $49/month after the first month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
  • A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
  • Medication is billed separately from the membership.

Where it wins: Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially. Watch for: Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.

In each one’s favour

Noom Med.

  • The coaching is the actual product here and it is well built.
  • Medication is included in the microdose tier rather than billed separately.

Lemonaid Health.

  • Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • An established platform with a long operating history in telehealth.

The desk’s call

  • Pick Noom Med if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $2,388, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Lemonaid Health if what it does better matters to you — multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict
