Quick verdict
Noom Med is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Noom built the behavioral app most people loved. It now sells a medication tier, and a microdose protocol no other big program runs. Watch the two bills.
Ivim Health wins on how clear the price is and what members say. Ivim sits between the flat rate at Henry and the depth of care at Form. One membership buys you a real branded route or a cheaper compounded one. Pay for four or six months at once and the price per month drops, but you are tied in.

When to choose Noom Med
Best for behavioral coaching plus meds
People who want CBT-style coaching with their medicine, or who want a microdosed GLP-1.
Noom Med wins on how easy it is to cancel, how fast you start and what drugs you can get. The caveat: People who want the drug and nothing else, or who find the Noom app annoying.
When to choose Ivim Health
Best for branded or compounded optionality
People who want to pick between a branded and a compounded GLP-1 inside one program.
Ivim Health wins on how clear the price is and what members say and runs $49/mo cheaper than Noom Med at the entry tier ($200 vs $249). Over a year that's $588 you keep. The caveat: Anyone who hates paying months up front, or who wants one flat bill each month.
If cost is your main filter
Ivim Health is the cheaper monthly: $200 all-in vs $249 for Noom Med. That's $49 a month or $588a 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 $147 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
Noom Med (month-to-month) and Ivim Health (4-mo prepay) score 9 and 6 out of 10 on cancellation. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Noom Med's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
