Verdict

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.

Best for

Patients who want CBT-style behavioral coaching alongside medication, or who specifically want a microdosed GLP-1 protocol.

Not for

Patients who only want medication and no behavioral content, or who find Noom's app interface annoying.

Pricing

$69/mo telehealth tier; $99/mo with metformin; GLP-1 program $149+/mo. Medication billed separately.

Cash-pay all-in starts at $69/moThis is the membership only — medication is billed separately.

Lock-in & cancellation

Month-to-month

Online self-serve cancellation. The most common complaint isn't lock-in; it's that the behavioral app subscription and Med tier renew separately and confuse people.

Medication options

FDA-approved branded as the primary path; 503A-compounded only for the microdosing protocol. Mostly insulated from compounded enforcement risk.

Wegovy oral pill

Member feedback

Trustpilot 4.3 with 66k+ reviews mostly reflects the behavioral app, not Noom Med specifically. Reddit r/Noom and r/loseit show the bait-and-switch frustration between behavioral and medication tiers.

Frequently asked questions

What's a microdosed GLP-1 protocol?

Microdosing means starting at a fraction of the standard maintenance dose (e.g., 0.1mg semaglutide instead of 0.25mg) and titrating very slowly. Some patients experience fewer GI side effects this way. It's not a clinically-defined protocol; it's an off-label approach Noom Med offers using compounded semaglutide because the dose isn't available in branded products.

Why are Noom and Noom Med billed separately?

Noom is the behavioral psychology app, originally a standalone product. Noom Med is a separate medical telehealth service launched later. They share the brand and account but bill independently. If you sign up for one and not the other, you're not subscribed to both. This is a frequent source of confusion in member feedback.

Does Noom Med work with insurance?

For Wegovy and Zepbound prescriptions, yes — they will run prior authorization with your insurance. The Noom Med subscription itself is not covered by insurance.
