Temi vs. Noom Med: a GLP-1 subscription or a price per order

It depends on the track. Noom's cost page lists full-dose semaglutide at $129 for the first four weeks then $279 a month, full-dose tirzepatide at $149 then $299, microdose semaglutide at $79 then $537 every 12 weeks, and microdose tirzepatide at $99 then $597 every 12 weeks [1]. Compounded medication is included in those prices. The branded telehealth track is $39 for a 30-day trial, then $129 a month, with the drug billed separately.

On the GLP-1Rx tracks, yes. Noom's own disclosure says the compounded semaglutide it provides is produced in an FDA-registered facility but has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality [1]. The same is true of the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide sold through Temi: they are not FDA-approved products. Noom's branded track, and a Temi prescription for Zepbound or Foundayo, use the manufacturer's approved medication instead.

Noom says you do not need insurance, and that if you have it, it will work to maximise coverage for medication and clinician services [2]. In practice that applies to branded drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound. The compounded tracks are cash-pay and Noom labels them FSA/HSA eligible. Temi is cash-pay only and never bills insurance, so if your plan covers a branded GLP-1, Noom's insurance route may cost you less.

It is a low-dose compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide plan that Noom describes as a gentler way to start. Its cost table lists $79 for the first four-week supply of semaglutide, then $537 every 12 weeks, and $99 then $597 for tirzepatide [1]. A footnote on the same page quotes $199 a month for the semaglutide tier, so confirm the figure at checkout. Our microdosing guide explains what the evidence does and does not show.

Noom's pricing footnote says 'cancel anytime', but its microdose tracks bill in 12-week blocks after the first month [1], so read the terms on whether unused weeks are refunded before you sign up. At Temi, an order placed without a membership carries no renewal at all. Temi Care, if you choose it, is a $449 annual plan that Temi's membership page says you can cancel anytime [8].

On medication cost alone, usually, but it depends on your dose. A first Temi semaglutide order is $59.99 for a 7.5 mg vial plus $39, or $98.99 [3], against Noom's $129 first month and $279 a month after [1]. How long a vial lasts depends on the weekly dose, and Noom's price includes coaching and the app. Compare the same number of weeks at your prescribed dose.

Yes, on its Telehealth for Branded Medications track, which is $39 for a 30-day trial then $129 a month, with the drug paid for separately through insurance or a cash programme [1]. A Temi clinician can also prescribe Zepbound when clinically appropriate. Temi does not sell it: the prescription is filled by LillyDirect at Lilly's self-pay price, from $299 a month for the 2.5 mg starting dose [5].

Temi is built that way. There is no plan to join: you choose a compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide vial from a named pharmacy, pay its listed price and a $39 prescription service fee, and a Temi physician reviews the request [7]. Temi physicians are licensed in 10 states so far, so check yours first. If you want the coaching and app that Noom bundles, a pay-per-order service will not replace them.
