DISCLOSURE — Coreage Rx pays this desk a commission when a reader signs up through our link. It buys no ranking, no score and no deletions. Method: how we rate. Full terms: disclosure.

Both sell tirzepatide. WeightWatchers Clinic costs $74 a month and Noom Med costs $149, a difference of $75 a month or about $900 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

WeightWatchers Clinic is behaviour programme with clinical add-on. Noom Med is behaviour change alongside medication. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. WeightWatchers Clinic advertises $25 and bills $74; Noom Med advertises $149 and bills $149. The gaps are different sizes, which means comparing the two on their advertised prices gives you the wrong answer.

What each puts on the record: WeightWatchers Clinic

  • Med+ membership advertised at $25/month for the first two months on a 12-month plan.
  • Membership then continues at $74/month on the 12-month plan or $84/month on the 6-month plan.
  • The cost of GLP-1 medication is not included in the membership.
  • All-in monthly cost commonly reported between $199 and $449 or more depending on medication and coverage.
  • Offers an insurance cost estimator and savings-card support for branded medication.

Where it wins: The behaviour-change programme behind it is the most established in the category. Watch for: The $25/month headline is two months on a twelve-month contract, and it buys no medication at all.

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.

The desk’s call

  • Pick WeightWatchers Clinic if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $900, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Noom Med if what it does better matters to you — the coaching is the actual product here and it is well built.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

On the board, WeightWatchers Clinic at $74 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Noom Med earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: WeightWatchers Clinic and Noom Med.
