Our verdict on each
Noom
The Noom plan runs at $99 a month with a money back window of 7 days to 14 days. It suits readers who want coaching with a clinician attached in the same subscription, and who live in the United States, DE and ES, a list that leaves out the UK.
ShedRx
ShedRx suits adults who want weight loss, hair loss, prescriptions and sexual health handled by a single US telehealth account rather than separate clinics. The monthly plan sits at $159, and online gp, prescriptions and weight loss all sit under the same fee.

Pros and cons
Noom
Pros
- Support spans chat, phone and email, putting a phone line next to chat, email, a help centre and a community.
- Availability is listed as 24 7, so a reader can ask a question at any hour.
- The whole programme runs in a mobile app, so the coaching and the consultations share one place.
Cons
- The UK is not among US, DE and ES, so British readers cannot buy the plan.
- Hair loss, skin and sexual health are not listed in online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, while DocMorris covers online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy.
- A monthly cost of $99 sits above the €33.79 most programs start from, so the coaching is the premium part.
ShedRx
Pros
- A single membership covers online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so online GP appointments, prescriptions, weight loss, hair loss and sexual health sit under one plan.
- The roster includes doctor, nurse practitioner and dietitian, which lets weight loss work involve a dietitian rather than a prescriber alone.
- Support runs through email, chat and phone, and free delivery is included on orders.
Cons
- Insurance accepted reads no, so consultations and prescriptions are paid for directly rather than claimed back through a health plan.
- The monthly plan price of $159 sits at 34 of 37 brands ranked on that figure, so entry cost sits towards the higher end.
- Appointments are scheduled, so readers who want a same-day answer wait for a set slot instead.
Who each suits
Noom
Who it suits
- Readers in the United States, DE and ES who want a clinician and a coach inside one subscription.
- People who prefer to phone support, given chat, phone and email.
- Members whose insurance can cover part of the plan, since insurance is accepted.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers in the UK, because the UK is not among US, DE and ES.
- Readers after hair loss or skin as well as weight loss, since DocMorris lists online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy and Noom's online gp, prescriptions and weight loss does not.
- Readers who want sexual health alongside weight loss, since FeelGood GLP-1 covers online gp, prescriptions and weight loss while Noom's list does not.
ShedRx
Who it suits
- Adults in the US managing weight loss and hair loss through the same provider, with doctor, nurse practitioner and dietitian on the roster.
- People who book ahead and prefer set appointment slots, since consultations are scheduled.
- Shoppers who spread a single membership across several service lines and value 120 days of money back.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a prescription weight loss programme only may prefer FeelGood GLP-1, whose services are online gp, prescriptions and weight loss.
- Anyone focused on sexual health alone can go direct to FeelGood ED, which lists online gp, prescriptions and weight loss.
- Members who want dispensing and skin care alongside consultations may prefer DocMorris, which covers online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy.

Questions about each
Noom
What does the Noom plan cost per month?+
The Noom plan costs $99 a month, and that is the figure to budget around rather than any introductory headline. No separate consultation price is listed, so the monthly plan is the single cost a reader meets before checkout. Anyone in the listed markets should confirm the local figure, since the plan runs in the United States, DE and ES.
Can I get my money back if Noom is not for me?+
Noom sets a money back window of 7 days to 14 days, so a request made inside that period can be refunded. That is the only exit stated, and it is short next to a subscription that renews monthly. Anyone planning to use the plan beyond the window should treat the first payment as committed rather than trial.
ShedRx
How much is the ShedRx plan each month?+
The ShedRx monthly plan is priced at $159. That is a membership figure rather than a per-consultation fee, so readers can weigh it against single appointment prices elsewhere, which reach €131.54 at the top of the range. Free delivery is included, so nothing is added on top.
What does the ShedRx membership cover?+
The service list covers online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so a single membership spans online GP appointments, prescriptions, weight loss, hair loss and sexual health. That range is what separates ShedRx from providers built around a single condition, and it suits members carrying several goals. It also means a member can start with one service line and add another without moving to a different provider.
