That said, Noom Med wins on specific dimensions. The behavioral app most people loved is now bundled with a medication tier and a microdose option that no other major program offers. Watch the dual billing.

When to choose Mochi Health
Best for flat predictable cash-pay
Cash-pay patients who want predictable monthly pricing and a compounded GLP-1 path.
Mochi Health wins on pricing transparency, member reviews and runs $101/mo cheaper than Noom Med at the entry tier ($178 vs $279). Over a year that's $1,212 you keep. The caveat: Patients who specifically want FDA-approved branded Wegovy or Zepbound through insurance. Note also: Active in Lilly's 2025-2026 lawsuit against compounded tirzepatide pharmacies
When to choose Noom Med
Best for behavioral coaching plus meds
Patients who want CBT-style behavioral coaching alongside medication, or who specifically want a microdosed GLP-1 protocol.
Noom Med wins on medication options on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients who only want medication and no behavioral content, or who find Noom's app interface annoying.
If cost is your main filter
Mochi Health is the cheaper monthly: $178 all-in vs $279 for Noom Med. That's $101 a month or $1,212a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $303 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Mochi Health (month-to-month) and Noom Med (month-to-month) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
