The arithmetic
On the figures our desk holds, ShedRx's $289 a month undercuts Noom Med's $299 by $10 a month at the 10 mg/wk maintenance basis — $120 across a year. ShedRx's figure is provider-stated (captured 2026-08-05) 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.
Noom Med's tirzepatide ladder runs $299 a month billed monthly. ShedRx's runs $289 a month billed monthly. On the twelve-month basis ShedRx's $3,468 beats Noom Med's $3,588 by $120 — with the winner's figure resting on twelve months at the month-to-month rate with no commitment, a structural difference that matters if you might stop early.

Noom Med's semaglutide ladder runs $249 a month billed monthly. ShedRx's runs $249 a month billed monthly.

Where the structures genuinely differ
On dose economics, Noom Med is dose-flat — the price survives titration — while ShedRx's pricing can move with the dose, a difference that compounds through a standard escalation schedule and matters most to buyers expecting to reach the higher maintenance doses.

What our desk is watching on each
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.
ShedRx: Start-vs-maintenance spread is among the widest in the index; budget on the maintenance figure.
Questions people ask
Is Noom Med or ShedRx 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 Noom Med vs ShedRx 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 Noom Med and ShedRx cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $3,588 at Noom Med and $3,468 at ShedRx — 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.
