Noom
51/100Where the value is
- LegitScript-certified telehealth badge displayed
- Combines clinical prescribing with Noom's established behavioral-coaching content
- FSA/HSA eligible across all tiers
The tradeoffs
- Headline price is a one-time 4-week introductory rate, not the real monthly cost -- genuine ongoing cost is $199-$299/month
- Billed quarterly, not monthly, which obscures true recurring cost at checkout
DadVantage Men's Health
50/100Where the value is
- Unusually transparent, itemized pricing table covering five semaglutide duration tiers and two tirzepatide dose/duration combinations with real dollar figures
- Multi-week prepay tiers genuinely lower the effective per-week cost
- Cash-pay pricing is disclosed upfront on the public site with no quiz or signup wall
The tradeoffs
- Florida only -- telehealth is explicitly limited to 'anywhere in Florida,' not a multi-state or nationwide operation
- A one-time $250 initial consultation and a separate recurring $50/month 'Monthly Optimization' fee sit outside the advertised per-tier medication prices with unclear overlap
