Head to head
Ro is $130 a month cheaper: $298 against $428, membership included on both. Those two figures are not for the same drug, though. Noom's is brand tirzepatide and Ro's is brand semaglutide, so the table below is the comparison that holds.
Noom, month to month
$428/mo, brand tirzepatide
Ro, month to month
$298/mo, brand semaglutide
$130 a month apart, $1,560 across a year. Each figure is the cheapest month that company will sell, with any mandatory membership added in. How we work these out.

$298/mo, no commitment
$428 at Noom and $298 at Ro, with nothing prepaid. Noom's figure is $299 of medication and $129 of membership, and the medication is not sold without it. Ro's is $149 of medication and $149 of membership, on the same terms.
Each bar is that company's cheapest commitment-free month, drawn against the larger of the two. Where a membership is required the figure in brackets splits it out: medication first, dues second.

On brand tirzepatide they are $20 apart ($428 at Noom and $448 at Ro), which is closer than the headline figures suggest. Every molecule either company prices is below, with the membership already folded in.

Not priced means this roster holds no commitment-free monthly figure for that molecule at that company: either their pages publish none, or they don't sell it. 2 molecules on this table are priced at one company and not the other, which is a reason to pick a side before you compare a number.
They lead with Plans start at $79 and include medication
. The $79 buys the opening stretch of the microdose semaglutide plan, which Noom's footnote calls an “Initial 3 week subscription and 4 weeks of medication.” After that the plan renews at $537 every 12 weeks, which Noom writes as $179 a month. Tirzepatide's microdose version starts at $99 and renews at $597.
They lead with Membership $39 to start and as low as $74/mo ongoing
. The $74 is the membership on a 12-month plan prepaid annually, and the membership does not include medication. Month to month the membership is $149 and the cheapest medication is another $149.
The gap at Ro
$74 a month is the 12-month plan, prepaid annually, $888 charged on the day. With no commitment it is $298.
Both records are built from the same five checks, and neither company clears all of them. What each one does and does not say on its own site is in the table above; the reasoning behind the checks is on how we review.
Hoping to try a single month of compounded semaglutide? The smallest renewal Noom sells is $537 for 12 weeks.
Skip it if your budget counts twelve payments a year. Microdose semaglutide bills 4.33 times a year and totals $2,327.
Read the Noom review for the rest, or the Noom cost page for what a year comes to.
Reading $74 as the price of treatment? It's the membership alone, prepaid for a year, before a single dose is paid for.
If your budget is fixed month to month, go in with eyes open. Dose escalation is where this gets expensive, and the price climbs as the dose does.
