Collective
Best for: the lowest flat medication price if you can absorb an annual membership fee
Visit Collective →Noom and Collective are both GLP-1 Providers competing for the same patients, but they make different trade-offs on price, coverage, and what's included. In our scoring, Collective starts lower at $59/mo versus $199/mo, and Collective edges ahead overall (8.3 vs 7.1 out of 10). Below we break down pricing, what each plan covers, the six-dimension score, pros and cons, and exactly who should pick which.
Pricing
Noom
⛔ THREE DIFFERENT CLOCK LENGTHS IN ONE SENTENCE, quoted verbatim from Noom's own footnote: 'Initial 3 week subscription and 4 weeks of medication from $149 plus tax and $349 per month plus tax for 12 week subscription thereafter.' So the intro is a THREE-week subscription bundled with FOUR weeks of medication, and the '$349 per month' that follows is charged against a TWELVE-week subscription commitment. It is not a cancel-anytime monthly rate. One program price covers either molecule: /med lists 'Semaglutide Wegovy®', 'Semaglutide Ozempic®', 'Tirzepatide Zepbound®' and 'Tirzepatide Mounjaro®' under the same programme tier, so this row and the tirzepatide row below are the SAME $349 offer split by drug for filtering, not two separate charges.
⛔ THREE DIFFERENT CLOCK LENGTHS IN ONE SENTENCE, quoted verbatim from Noom's own footnote: 'Initial 3 week subscription and 4 weeks of medication from $149 plus tax and $349 per month plus tax for 12 week subscription thereafter.' So the intro is a THREE-week subscription bundled with FOUR weeks of medication, and the '$349 per month' that follows is charged against a TWELVE-week subscription commitment. It is not a cancel-anytime monthly rate. Same $349 programme as the semaglutide row above; split by drug for filtering only.
Footnote 2 verbatim: 'Initial 3 week subscription and 4 weeks of medication from $79 plus tax and $199 per month plus tax for 12 week subscription thereafter.' Same three-clock structure as the main programme. ⚠ A SITE-WIDE BANNER ADVERTISES A THIRD FIGURE THAT RECONCILES WITH NEITHER: '$49 Limited-Time Offer: Microdose GLP-1Rx Program (Compounded Semaglutide). Price includes medication.' The $49 is not explained anywhere on the page and does not match the $79 intro in the footnote — treat it as an unverified promotional entry price.
Collective
Verbatim: 'Compounded Semaglutide: $59/month. Same price, every dose. Cancel anytime.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — the site states 'What does it cost? $59/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $907 ($75.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Compounded Tirzepatide: $69/month. Same price, any dose.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — 'The cost is $69/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $1,027 ($85.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Requires Collective membership: 21 day free trial, then a low annual $199 membership fee. No recurring monthly membership charges.' Charged yearly, not monthly. Terms of Use: 'all membership fees are non-refundable, and partial-period refunds are not provided.'

About Noom
Behavioral weight-loss app that also prescribes GLP-1s. Its GLP-1Rx Program runs $349 a month and a compounded Microdose program $199, both after a cheaper intro — but the 'per month' is billed against a twelve-week subscription, so neither is a cancel-anytime monthly rate.

Noom
What we like
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
Watch-outs
- Pricing not publicly disclosed
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
Our Verdict
Collective edges out Noom with a higher overall score of 8.3/10 and is particularly strong for the lowest flat medication price if you can absorb an annual membership fee. Noom remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for mainstream telehealth GLP-1 access.
