Care Bare Rx's figure is reported (captured 2026-07-14) and Noom Med's is reported (captured 2026-08-11); a status below 'verified' means our independent checkout capture is still pending, so treat the gap as the best current evidence rather than settled fact.

What our desk is watching on each
Care Bare Rx: Lighter clinical model; confirm prescriber availability, refill cadence and pharmacy identity before enrolling. Reported status from RangeYourself 2026 data.
Noom Med: Basis correction on record: the $199 figure previously recorded reflects Noom's microdose tier, which caps at 0.6 mg and therefore fails this site's maintenance-dose comparison basis; the standard compounded tiers — $249/mo semaglutide, $299/mo GLP-1/GIP Plus (tirzepatide) — are the rankable figures. Microdose tiers ($179 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide per Noom's July 27, 2026 pricing) exist for gentler entry. All plans bill quarterly, not monthly; the branded-medication track ($99/mo after a $149 first month, medication separate) is a different product. Compounded not available in all states per Noom's own materials.
Questions people ask
Is Care Bare Rx or Noom Med cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does Care Bare Rx vs Noom Med miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
What do Care Bare Rx and Noom Med cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $2,388 at Care Bare Rx and $3,588 at Noom Med — computed from each program's best published twelve-month route, with promotional figures labeled in the sections above and every number carrying its capture date.
