Hims is the cheapest, fastest path to a compounded GLP-1 — minimal intake, no labs, ships in days. Noom Med is a fundamentally different product: a CBT-based behavioral app with medication added. Hims is for patients who want access only. Noom Med is for patients whose real problem is eating psychology and who want the medication to accelerate behavior change.
Who wins on what
Different problems, different products
If your problem is "I want a GLP-1 prescription and the simplest way to get it," Hims is the right answer. You'll have a pen in a week, the price is transparent, and the service level matches what you actually need.
If your problem is "I've lost weight before and regained it, and I know the issue is how I eat, not what drug I'm on," Noom Med is the right answer. The app's daily curriculum targets eating triggers directly, and medication is one of several tools rather than the whole program.
These are not competing products for the same buyer — they're solving different things. Picking between them is less about feature comparison and more about what you believe will actually work for you.
Price and pharmacy
Hims's $199/month includes compounded medication. Noom Med's $149/month covers the program and coaching, with branded drug cost ($349–$499) on top. For a pure cash-pay patient who wants the drug and nothing else, Hims is cheaper. For a patient who will use the Noom app daily, Noom Med's premium is often worth it — you're paying for something Hims doesn't offer.
Frequently asked questions
Which is safer: Hims or Noom Med?
Noom Med's intake is more structured — more medical history, more attention to contraindications. Hims is async with limited labs. Both use licensed prescribers and FDA-registered pharmacies; the difference is in how much the program looks before it prescribes.
Does Hims have any behavioral support?
Hims's weight-loss program is primarily medication-access. Behavioral content is minimal. If you want a behavioral app, pair Hims with the standalone Noom app rather than expect it from Hims itself.
Can I use Noom Med if I'm already on a GLP-1?
Yes. Noom Med can continue titration on an existing prescription; you don't need to restart. Most patients who arrive mid-treatment are there for the behavioral piece, which the app provides from day one.
