Phaze vs Noom for GLP-1
Noom and Phaze solve different problems. Noom is a broad weight-loss and behavior-change platform (food logging, calorie and macro tracking, psychology-based lessons, optional coaching), and through Noom Med it also connects users with licensed U.S. clinicians who can prescribe and manage GLP-1 medications. Phaze is a focused GLP-1 tracking companion: it does not prescribe, does not provide medical care, and does not sell medication. Here is how the two compare so you can pick what fits your journey.

Key differences
Category, prescribing, pricing model, and GLP-1-specific tooling are the main factors when choosing between Phaze and Noom.
Different categories
Noom is a broad weight-loss and behavior-change platform: food logging, calorie and macro tracking, psychology-based lessons, fitness and meditation classes, community, and optional coaching. Phaze is a focused companion for tracking the GLP-1 journey: doses, injection sites, side effects, Estimated Levels, progress, body composition, and labs in one app.
Prescribing vs. tracking
Through Noom Med, Noom connects users with licensed U.S. clinicians who can prescribe and manage GLP-1 medications and coordinate pharmacy delivery when clinically appropriate. Phaze does not prescribe, does not employ clinicians, and does not sell or supply medication. Phaze is a wellness and tracking tool you bring alongside your own care.
Pricing model
Noom Weight is a paid program: $209/year ($17.42/month) on the annual plan, up to about $70/month month-to-month, with Noom Med telehealth tiers priced separately and medication often billed on top (noom.com, accessed June 2026; pricing changes frequently). Phaze keeps its core GLP-1 tracking free, with an optional Pro upgrade for advanced features.
GLP-1-specific tooling
Phaze offers purpose-built GLP-1 features: an Estimated Levels curve drawn from the doses you log yourself, dose scheduling, injection-site rotation, per-medication side-effect tracking, a Taper Coach, progress photos, Body Composition (Beta), and Labs & Scans. These are Phaze's focus rather than Noom's, which centers on general weight-loss coaching and lessons.

Yes. Noom offers psychology-based daily lessons and optional human coaching as part of its paid tiers, alongside fitness and meditation classes and community support. Phaze takes a self-tracking approach focused on the GLP-1 journey, with an AI wellness companion (Ember) that provides wellness suggestions, not medical advice.
Yes. Phaze is a tracking companion, not a replacement for medical care or for any program you already use. You can log your doses, side effects, meals, weight, labs, and progress in Phaze and share a My Report PDF with your healthcare provider. Phaze does not prescribe, diagnose, or provide medical advice.
Phaze uses daily check-ins (mood, energy, hunger, food noise), streaks with milestones, a daily checklist, and a Lifestyle Score to help you stay consistent between appointments. This differs from Noom's psychology-based lesson curriculum and coaching model.
