§ Side by side

§ Each record, read aloud

The two records, condensed

Noom Med: the record, condensed

Start with the load-bearing figure: $199 a month, all-in, is what Noom Med charges for semaglutide at the 2.4 mg basis. The price is dose-flat: the standard titration ladder (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg) is financially invisible here, because the top rung bills exactly what the bottom rung billed. That converts the advertised number from a floor into a ceiling — the strongest single structural feature a program in this category can have.

The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.

Context for that figure: it ranks #12 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $66/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $150 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare↗), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $2,388.

Yucca Health: the record, condensed

Yucca Health’s tirzepatide program bills $258 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 10 mg maintenance basis. The price is dose-flat: the standard titration ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)) is financially invisible here, because the top rung bills exactly what the bottom rung billed. That converts the advertised number from a floor into a ceiling — the strongest single structural feature a program in this category can have.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $258 is the whole subscription, which makes Yucca Health unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

To place the number: #2 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $43/month below at NexLife↗ ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect↗)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $191 a month. A year at this figure: $3,096 monthly-billed.

Start with the load-bearing figure: $146 a month, all-in, is what Yucca Health charges for semaglutide at the 2.4 mg basis. It is a flat structure: 0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg all bill identically. In a market where most low advertised prices quietly belong to the starter dose, a flat figure is the difference between a quote and a teaser.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $146 is the whole subscription, which makes Yucca Health unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

Context for that figure: it ranks #2 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $13/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $203 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $1,752.

Semaglutide: the duel in full

The semaglutide arithmetic between these two is short: $146 (Yucca Health) against $199 (Noom Med). $53 a month sounds survivable; $636 a year is a decision.

Both figures are dose-flat, which is the cleanest possible comparison: two ceilings, no titration surprises on either side, and the $53 gap is exactly what it appears to be.

A way to feel the $53 monthly gap: over a year it funds 4.4 extra months at Yucca Health’s own rate — the difference is not decoration, it is medication. Over two years it compounds to $1,272, which is the horizon at which structural details (prepaid ladders, membership drag, dose-tier repricing) start mattering more than the sticker itself.

Run the same two programs on the committed basis: Noom Med $199/mo month-to-month against Yucca Health $146/mo month-to-month. The order holds: Yucca Health leads on both readings, so plan structure sharpens the verdict here rather than reversing it. Whichever basis fits your commitment level, the upfront totals above are the honest units.

§ The clock, run forward

Three, six, twelve, twenty-four months — best path each way

3 months: Noom Med $597 monthly; Yucca Health $438 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $159. 6 months: Noom Med $1,194 monthly; Yucca Health $876 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $318. 12 months: Noom Med $2,388 monthly; Yucca Health $1,752 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $636. 24 months: Noom Med $4,776 monthly; Yucca Health $3,504 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $1,272.

Prepaid paths above are billed upfront and assume the published rate holds (the 24-month figures extend the 12-month rate, an assumption worth naming). The honest reading: over short horizons the monthly gap decides; over long horizons the prepaid ladders and structural traps (dose tiers, memberships) take over — which is exactly the split the verdict section below scores.

§ Structure vs structure

Everything besides the price

Coverage: Noom Med publishes “most states”; Yucca Health publishes “not published” — for anything short of an explicit 50-state claim, intake is the final word.

Pharmacy transparency splits them: Noom Med names its network (Tailor Made Compounding (named)); Yucca Health does not, which shifts the burden of verification onto your intake questions.

Exit terms: Noom Med — 12-week cycles; 12-week billing cycles. Yucca Health — 6-month term; 6-month term applies.

Evidence: Noom Med source-verified (captured 2026-08-08); Yucca Health source-verified (2026-08-05).

The pattern worth internalizing: in this market, structural honesty and price honesty travel together. Programs that publish pharmacies and state lists tend to publish real maintenance prices; programs that hide one usually hide the other.

In the full semaglutide index these two sit at #12 and #2 of 20: between them lie 9 other programs, and the whole ladder is at cheapest semaglutide providers.

§ If you move

Switching between Noom Med and Yucca Health

Prescriptions do not transfer like phone numbers: moving in either direction means completing the destination’s intake and having its prescriber write a new patient-specific prescription. The mechanics that prevent a bad month: confirm the destination serves your state and quotes your current dose in writing before cancelling anything; time the first new shipment to overlap the last old one rather than gap it; cancel the origin per its published terms (Noom Med: 12-week billing cycles; Yucca Health: 6-month term applies) and screenshot the confirmation; and never leave a prepaid balance stranded — which is the standing argument for prepaying only after a program has already earned a few monthly cycles.
