Is Noom or WeightWatchers cheaper?

WeightWatchers is cheaper for one month with no commitment: $233 against $428, a difference of $195 a month or $2,340 across a year. Both figures include any membership the company requires, because neither company will sell the medication without it. The two figures are not for the same drug: $428 at Noom is brand tirzepatide, and $233 at WeightWatchers is oral semaglutide. The molecule table below is the comparison that holds.

What do Noom and WeightWatchers charge for the same drug?

For brand tirzepatide, Noom is $428 a month and WeightWatchers is $383, all in, with no commitment. That is $45 apart, and it is the closest the two get on any drug they both price.

Does Noom charge a membership?

For brand semaglutide and brand tirzepatide, yes: $129 a month on top of the medication. Required for the brand-drug path, which Noom calls Telehealth for Branded Medications: “$39 to get started, then $129/month for ongoing care.” and “The cost of medication is not included in the Noom Med subscription.” The compounded programs include medication and care in one subscription and carry no separate membership. Noom's current pages price the membership per month and never state how often it's charged; the terms say the billing period is “indicated at the time of sign-up,” and an older Noom Med post still linked from the home page describes a three-month upfront bill. Where that drug sets Noom's cheapest month, the $428 on this page already includes it.

Does WeightWatchers charge a membership?

Yes. Med+ is mandatory and WeightWatchers says so on every card: “WW Med+ membership required. Membership and meds billed separately.” It's carried at $84 because that's the rate on the shorter of the two published terms, and no month-to-month Med+ rate appears on the medication page or the plans page. At $84 a month it's part of the price, and every figure here includes it.

Medical services come from “our affiliated medical group, Weight Watchers Clinic”; dispensing is “by a licensed pharmacy” and, on the same page, “by a local pharmacy”, with none named.

What do they charge for the same drug?

On brand tirzepatide they are $45 apart ($428 at Noom and $383 at WeightWatchers), 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. 3 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.

What does each advertised price actually require?

Noom

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.

WeightWatchers

No single advertised rate appears on WeightWatchers' own pages. One month with no commitment is $233.

The gap at WeightWatchers

$149 a month is the medication. The membership is required on top, so a month is $233.

Who is each one wrong for?

Noom

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.

WeightWatchers

Looking for one month? The shortest Med+ term published is six, it renews itself, and the fee is “not refundable or cancellable once a billing period … or commitment period … has started”.

The $25 isn't the price of treatment. It buys the first month of a membership and no medication at all.
