Noom Med vs Zealthy

Visit ZealthyThe verdict
Noom Med edges out Zealthy on the Mom-Tested Score, 75 to 38 (C vs C). Moms who want the habit-change coaching as much as the medication, and who'll read past the $49 and $79 headlines to the $179 a month, billed $537 at a time, that they'd actually pay.
Zealthy is still a genuine option — ⛔ FDA warning letter #716501 (Sept. 2025), which names getzealthy.com. Listed only so you can see why we rank it last: in April 2026 the FTC and DOJ moved to seize the company and freeze its assets. Read that before anything else here. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Noom Med
Ranked #34 · Grade C
What we like
- The behavior-change program is the real product, and it's genuinely good — lessons, logging, human coaches and community, bundled into every medication plan
- Completely async: "A clinician will quickly evaluate your results and provide a prescription all online" — no appointment to schedule around nap time
- Both molecules are reachable: compounded GLP-1Rx and GLP-1Rx Plus vials, plus brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro
The caveats
- Two live prices for one program: "$49 to get started, then $179/month" on the product page, "starting at $79" in the site FAQ
- The Microdose fine print says "$49/month, billed as $537 for 12-weeks recurring" — $537 over 12 weeks is $179/mo, so the sentence contradicts itself
- The "$39" brand figure is Noom's access fee, not the medication, which is billed on top and depends on your insurance
Zealthy
Ranked #298 · Grade C
What we like
- Cheapest verified monthly semaglutide on our shortlist — real budget relief
- Fast, mostly-async signup with the price visible before you commit
- Both molecules available, and a broad general-telehealth platform if you need other care too
The caveats
- ⛔ FDA warning letter #716501, dated September 9, 2025, to FitRX, LLC dba Zealthy, for unlawful sale of unapproved and misbranded drugs over the internet — the letter names its own site
- April 2026: the FTC and DOJ asked a federal court to place Zealthy in receivership and freeze its assets, alleging deceptive disclosures, obstructive cancellation and review manipulation
- The same complaint alleges misuse of clinicians' NPI numbers to issue prescriptions without their knowledge or consent — the government's words are that Zealthy is "actively deceiving telehealth patients, endangering their safety, and raiding their bank accounts". These are allegations, not findings; the case is ongoing
