Noom Med prices a GLP-1 plan at $249 a month. The last two words on the line matter.

“$129 To get started. $249/mo after the first 4-week supply (billed quarterly).”

That’s Noom’s pricing page on November 3, 2026. If a quarterly charge covers three months at $249, it comes to $747.

In a Buzz Health survey of 256 pharmacists in July, 68 percent reported more cash-pay GLP-1 sales over the past 12 months. Pay cash and your health plan may never see the purchase.

The $149 price that adds up to $298

Hims’ weight-loss page, read the same day, lists the Wegovy pill “From $149/mo.” A small mark leads to a footnote. That price “includes medication only,” and the required membership is “$39 for the first month, auto-renews at $149/month thereafter.”

At the lowest printed price, drug plus membership comes to $298 a month after month one, billed separately.
