Updated 2026-09-18
How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.
Both sell tirzepatide. Noom Med costs $149 a month and Lemonaid Health costs $348, a difference of $199 a month or about $2,388 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.
Noom Med is behaviour change alongside medication. Lemonaid Health is established platform with multi-month discounts. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.

The differences that affect treatment
They differ on 1 of the 7 things we track, and behave the same on the other 6. The differences are what the price gap is actually buying.

| Medication included in the monthly price | No | Yes |
What each programme publishes: Noom Med
- Noom Med listed from $149/month.
- Microdose GLP-1Rx programme listed from $79/month with medication included.
- Programme pairs low-dose medication with biomarker monitoring and coaching.
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 programme publishes: Lemonaid Health
- GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
- Membership is $49/month after the first month.
- Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
- A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
- Medication is billed separately from the membership.
Where it wins: Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially. Watch for: Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.

- Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.
