Yes, Noom is legit: it is a real company whose Noom Med arm prescribes GLP-1s through licensed clinicians, and as of October 2026 its own site prices the medication-included Noom GLP-1Rx plan at $129 for the first four weeks, then $279 a month billed as $837 every 12 weeks. That plan is compounded semaglutide. Whether it is good value is a separate question, and the answer depends on how much you want Noom's coaching app with your medication.
We do not track or partner with Noom, so we cannot link to it, and nothing here is a Noom price we verify weekly; it is what Noom's own pages said on 5 October 2026. The cheaper options further down are partner programs that pay us a commission when you sign up through us (how that works). Every ranking on this site is ordered by price alone.
What Noom sells for weight loss, and what it costs
Noom runs two kinds of GLP-1 plan. The medication-included plans are compounded drugs, priced as one bundle. The brand-name route is a Noom Med membership, with the drug bought separately, usually through insurance. Noom describes its clinicians this way: "Members work with licensed clinicians who prescribe and manage medications when clinically appropriate."3
| Noom plan | What it is | Price on Noom's site |
|---|---|---|
| Noom GLP-1Rx | Compounded semaglutide, medication included | $129 for the first 4 weeks, then $279/month billed as $837 every 12 weeks |
| Noom Microdose GLP-1Rx | Lower-dose compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide | From $79 to start, then $179/month plus tax on a 12-week subscription |
| Noom GLP-1Rx Plus | Compounded tirzepatide | Not shown on the pages we read |
| Brand-name (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro) | Noom Med membership; medication billed separately | From $39, plus the drug's own cost |
One thing to check before you pay: the same Noom GLP-1Rx page gives two recurring prices. The price block and footnote say "$279/month, billed as $837 for 12-weeks recurring", and the FAQ further down says "It starts at $129 for your first 4-week supply, then $249/mo on the recurring 12-week plan."1 We print both because both are on Noom's page. Go by the $837 you are billed every 12 weeks: at that rate a year costs about $3,630.
The microdose plan's terms, in Noom's words: "Initial 3 week subscription and 4 weeks of medication from $79 plus tax and $179 per month plus tax for 12 week subscription thereafter."2 Noom confirms that compounded tirzepatide "is available by prescription through our Noom GLP-1Rx Plus Program",4 but we could not find a price for it on its public pages.
- Insurance: not needed for the medication-included plans.
- Who qualifies: "You may be eligible if you have a BMI of 25 or higher," after a clinician's online assessment.1
- Where: "all U.S. states except Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi."1
- Pharmacies: Noom says it partners with "U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)-compliant, state-regulated pharmacies" for plans that include medication.5 It does not name them on that page.
What the reviews say
On Trustpilot, Noom scores 4.5 out of 5 across 67,070 reviews (read 5 October 2026).6 That is a strong number, and it needs context. The profile covers all of Noom and sits in Trustpilot's "Fitness and Nutrition Service" category: most of those reviews are about the diet and food-logging app, not the GLP-1 program. Trustpilot also notes that Noom "hasn't invited customers recently, so reviews may not be representative".
Trustpilot's summary of recent reviews says people like the app's meal tracking and the care team, and that the complaints are about reaching customer service and rigid billing when changing an account. On a plan billed $837 at a time, the billing complaints are the ones to read before you sign up.
The regulatory record
We searched FDA's warning-letter database for "Noom" on 5 October 2026 and it returned no letters.7 We also found none in our own copy of FDA's GLP-1 warning letters, last refreshed 3 October 2026. No letter is not the same as an endorsement: FDA does not certify telehealth programs.
Noom is open about what compounding means. Its own footnote says its compounded semaglutide "is produced in an FDA-registered facility but has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality."1 That is accurate, and it applies to every compounded program, including the ones we track. What that means in practice.
We found no LegitScript certification claim on the Noom pages we read, and LegitScript's public checker would not render for us. Our ten-minute legitimacy checklist covers how to run that check yourself.
Who Noom suits
- It suits you if the behavior-change app, coaching and lessons are the point for you, and you would pay for them anyway.
- It does not suit you if you want the medication at the lowest price. The coaching is bundled in and you pay for it whether you use it or not.
- It does not suit you if you live in Alabama, Louisiana or Mississippi, or want a published price for compounded tirzepatide before signing up.
