Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.

• Is Noom legit? What Noom's GLP-1 program costs, its reviews, and its record

  Yes. Noom is a real company, and its Noom Med arm prescribes GLP-1s through licensed clinicians. As of October 2026 its own site prices the medication-included Noom GLP-1Rx plan, which is compounded semaglutide, at $129 for the first four weeks, then $279 a month billed as $837 every 12 weeks, though the FAQ on the same page says $249. Trustpilot scores Noom 4.5 across 67,088 reviews, mostly about its app, and we found no FDA warning letter naming it.

• Foundayo: the GLP-1 pill where buying direct is the cheap route

  Lilly's oral GLP-1 was approved on 1 April 2026, and it does something no other weight-loss pill does: you take it any time of day, with or without food. The pricing is the surprising part. Lilly self-pay starts at $149 a month, and the one telehealth program on our board selling it, Sesame Care, charges $208 once its membership fee is counted. That reverses the usual arithmetic in this market, and the reason is simple: orforglipron is a new small molecule under patent, so there is no compounded version to undercut it.

• Ro, Hims, Noom, WeightWatchers, Found, Calibrate: what each GLP-1 program actually charges

  The big-name programs price two things separately, the membership and the medication, and the headline you see is usually one of them. Ro charges a $149 monthly membership ($74 a month if you prepay a year) plus $149 to $299 for branded drugs. WeightWatchers Clinic is $74 a month on a 12-month plan, after a $25 first month, plus medication from $149. Calibrate is $199 a month on a three-month commitment, medication separate. Found advertises compounded GLP-1s from $99 a month on its insurance-supported tier and $169 cash on an annual plan, with no fee. Hims and Noom do not publish a price on a page we can read.
