Updated 2026-09-18

Both sell tirzepatide. Noom Med costs $149 a month and Zealthy costs $216, a difference of $67 a month or about $804 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

Noom Med is behaviour change alongside medication. Zealthy is low-cost entry with insurance routing. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. Noom Med advertises $149 and bills $149; Zealthy advertises $216 and bills $216. Both gaps are the same size, so the advertised comparison happens to hold.

What each puts on the record: Noom Med

    Where it wins: The coaching is the actual product here and it is well built. Watch for: A $79 microdose programme is not the same treatment as 10 mg tirzepatide. Check the dose before comparing on price.

    What each puts on the record: Zealthy

    • Where insurance covers branded semaglutide, patient cost can fall to roughly $25/month.

    Where it wins: Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge. Watch for: The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide.

    In each one’s favour

    Noom Med.

    • The coaching is the actual product here and it is well built.
    • Medication is included in the microdose tier rather than billed separately.

    Zealthy.

    • Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge.
    • Will pursue insurance coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay.

    Noom Med scores higher overall at 3.5 out of 5. The weights are published on how we rate, and so is the note about which of these is our paid featured partner.

    The desk’s call

    The board says Noom Med. What the board cannot say is whether the advertised figures you were shown elsewhere match these — check the gap row, because a listing that advertises low and bills high will beat an honest one in any comparison built on advertised prices.

    The verdict

    On the board, Noom Med at $149 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Zealthy earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Noom Med and Zealthy.
