§ Side by side

§ Each record, read aloud

The two records, condensed

Noom Med: the record, condensed

Start with the load-bearing figure: $199 a month, all-in, is what Noom Med charges for semaglutide at the 2.4 mg basis. It is a flat structure: 0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg all bill identically. In a market where most low advertised prices quietly belong to the starter dose, a flat figure is the difference between a quote and a teaser.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $199 is the whole subscription, which makes Noom Med unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

To place the number: #12 of 20 verified programs, with the floor $66/month below at Oak Longevity ($133); the approved-product yardstick (Wegovy (NovoCare)) sits at $349, so the compounded case here is worth $150 a month. A year at this figure: $2,388 monthly-billed.

Operationally at Noom Med: shipping included; commitment 12-week cycles; cancellation 12-week billing cycles; pharmacy named (Tailor Made Compounding (named)); states: most states; evidence source-verified, captured 2026-08-08.

Semaglutide: the duel in full

Put the two semaglutide figures side by side and hold them there: Noom Med at $199, NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) at $349 — a $150 monthly spread that compounds to $1,800 over a maintenance year and $3,600 over two.

Both figures are dose-flat, which is the cleanest possible comparison: two ceilings, no titration surprises on either side, and the $150 gap is exactly what it appears to be.

Translate the $150/month spread into medication: $1,800 a year equals roughly 9.0 months of therapy at the cheaper program’s rate. That is the honest unit for gaps in this market — months of treatment, not abstract dollars — and it is why small-looking monthly differences decide long courses.

On best published rate — the lower of each program’s month-to-month price and its labeled 12-month-plan rate, which is the sort most price roundups quietly run — the duel reads: Noom Med $199/mo month-to-month versus NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) $349/mo month-to-month. Same winner on both bases — Noom Med leads whether you compare month-to-month prices or committed-plan rates, which makes this one of the cleaner verdicts in the index. Prepaid rates are upfront commitments with refund terms to verify before they count.

§ The clock, run forward

Three, six, twelve, twenty-four months — best path each way

3 months: Noom Med $597 monthly; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) $1,047 monthly — best path favors Noom Med by $450. 6 months: Noom Med $1,194 monthly; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) $2,094 monthly — best path favors Noom Med by $900. 12 months: Noom Med $2,388 monthly; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) $4,188 monthly — best path favors Noom Med by $1,800. 24 months: Noom Med $4,776 monthly; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) $8,376 monthly — best path favors Noom Med by $3,600.

Prepaid paths above are billed upfront and assume the published rate holds (the 24-month figures extend the 12-month rate, an assumption worth naming). The honest reading: over short horizons the monthly gap decides; over long horizons the prepaid ladders and structural traps (dose tiers, memberships) take over — which is exactly the split the verdict section below scores.

§ Structure vs structure

Everything besides the price

Coverage: Noom Med publishes “most states”; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) publishes “50 states” — for anything short of an explicit 50-state claim, intake is the final word.

Pharmacy transparency: both name fulfillment (Tailor Made Compounding (named) / Novo Nordisk direct / retail partners) — rare in this market, and it makes both independently checkable.

Exit terms: Noom Med — 12-week cycles; 12-week billing cycles. NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) — none; no subscription.

Evidence: Noom Med source-verified (captured 2026-08-08); NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) source-verified (2026-08-10).

A rule that has held across this index: disclosure predicts disclosure. Whichever of these two publishes more — pharmacies, states, exit terms — is usually the one whose invoice matches its ad.

§ If you move

Switching between Noom Med and NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy)

Prescriptions do not transfer like phone numbers: moving in either direction means completing the destination’s intake and having its prescriber write a new patient-specific prescription. The mechanics that prevent a bad month: confirm the destination serves your state and quotes your current dose in writing before cancelling anything; time the first new shipment to overlap the last old one rather than gap it; cancel the origin per its published terms (Noom Med: 12-week billing cycles; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy): no subscription) and screenshot the confirmation; and never leave a prepaid balance stranded — which is the standing argument for prepaying only after a program has already earned a few monthly cycles.
