Quick verdict
Noom Med is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. 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.
That said, Klarity Health wins on specific dimensions. Klarity offers GLP-1 as one of 100+ conditions handled by their telehealth platform. Less specialized than dedicated GLP-1 programs but works for patients who want one platform for multiple conditions. Per-visit pricing model with brand-name and compounded options.

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 cancellation terms, onboarding experience, 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.
When to choose Klarity Health
Best for multi-condition telehealth
Patients who want a multi-condition telehealth platform alongside their GLP-1 prescription. Useful if you also need treatment for ADHD, anxiety, hair loss or other conditions.
Klarity Health wins on member reviews and runs $1/mo cheaper than Noom Med at the entry tier ($278 vs $279). Over a year that's $12 you keep. The caveat: Patients wanting deep obesity-medicine specialization or the cheapest cash-pay path.
If cost is your main filter
Klarity Health is the cheaper monthly: $278 all-in vs $279 for Noom Med. That's $1 a month or $12a 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 $3 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 Klarity Health (3-mo minimum) sit at different cancellation tiers. 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.
