Noom Med vs PlexusDx
The verdict
Noom Med takes it — 68.3/100 to 67.7/100, but only just.
Noom Med grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Noom Med integrates GLP-1 medication access with Noom's proven cognitive behavioral therapy curriculum, 1-on-1 dietitian coaching, and dedicated care team — the most comprehensive psychology-plus-medication… PlexusDx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
