Visit ZealthyThe verdict
Zealthy edges out Noom Med on the Mom-Tested Score, 85 to 81 (B vs B−). Moms for whom the monthly number is the whole decision, and who want the lowest verified price without a live appointment.
Noom Med is still a genuine option — the one whose app is already on half the phones at the playground. If the behavior-change coaching is what you actually need, the GLP-1 arm bolts onto that — but you'll go through the quiz and insurance path before you see a real number. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Noom Med
Ranked #8 · Grade B−
What we like
- Deep, genuinely good behavior-change coaching — the habit layer is the whole point
- Aims at FDA-approved brand medication and will work the insurance angle for you
- Familiar, polished app most moms have already heard of
The caveats
- Cash pricing isn't shown up front — it's quiz-then-insurance, so the number is a mystery early on
- Coverage and eligibility depend on the insurance path, not a flat nationwide price
- More program than prescription — not for someone who just wants the script
Zealthy
Ranked #5 · Grade B
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
- It's a broad platform, not a GLP-1 specialty clinic — support can feel less personal
- Coverage is wide but not all 50 — confirm your state
- Compounded only, injection only
