Novi review
Elena Voss is a mother writing for mothers, not a treating clinician, and holds no medical license. Prices and terms come from the company's own published pages. This is background reading, not medical advice.
Novi’s homepage quotes $129 a month for semaglutide and $169 for tirzepatide, with lower three-month prepaid averages. Its dedicated semaglutide page still says $149 for one month, so confirm the amount and commitment in writing.

How we scored Novi
Every factor comes from Novi's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 42/100 Metabolic-Fit Score on our weighted six-factor framework. Commissions don't change a provider's score.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the best on our list — the review below says exactly where.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How we checked this review
Novi’s homepage quotes $129 a month for semaglutide and $169 for tirzepatide, with lower three-month prepaid averages. Its dedicated semaglutide page still says $149 for one month, so confirm the amount and commitment in writing.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Novi's public signup — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The homepage sells on a countdown — "Was $299 / Now starting at $133/mo" beside a clock claiming the price rises within 24 hours, on a page whose own title tag reads 'Summer Promo'
- 2The product pages publish their own grids, and they are the honest ones: /semaglutide lists 1 month $149, then $130/mo over 3, $129/mo over 6 and $88/mo over 12; /tirzepatide lists 1 month $179, then $149/mo over 3, $133/mo over 6 and $129/mo over 12
- 3Every figure below the one-month line is a term price divided by its term, and both page titles headline the cheapest one — "from $88/mo" and "from $129/mo"
- 4A screening page keyed 'pregnancy_related_conditions' and titled 'Safety, first.' sits inside that flow
What we noticed
- Different price sets exist across the homepage, the product pages and the intake flow, and no two agree — the intake's are the higher ones
- Every attractive 'per month' figure is a prepay term price divided by its length, not a rate that recurs; the cheapest genuinely month-to-month prices Novi publishes are $149 semaglutide and $179 tirzepatide
- The intake does screen for maternal status: 'Currently or possibly pregnant, or actively trying to become pregnant', 'Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding with breastmilk', and 'Have given birth to a child within the last 6 months'. We did not complete the form, so what a flagged answer produces was not observed
- The billing schedule in the help center is not monthly: first payment before signup, second payment 21 days later, then every 28 days
- No checkout was completed and no medical data was submitted — every price recorded here was read off Novi's own public pages

Many HSA and FSA plans cover GLP-1 telehealth — check yours. These figures are what Novi's own site disclosed at last review; this market re-prices often, so confirm the current number at the source.
What we like
- The intake screens specifically for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and having given birth within the last six months
- The compounding disclaimer on /compounded-semaglutide is accurate and unhedged: the FDA has not evaluated these medications for safety, quality or efficacy
- Published coverage in all 50 states and DC, corroborated by the intake's own state list
The caveats
- The Terms require a three-month non-refundable commitment; the help center says there are no commitments and you can cancel anytime
- The Terms warn that customers who dispute charges to get out of the commitment will be sent to collections
- Four different refund policies across four Novi documents, none reconciled
- The 'Novi Progress Promise' is footnoted to the Terms, where the phrase does not appear at all
- Billing is not monthly: the help center's own schedule puts the second charge 21 days after the first, then every 28 days
- Nothing on any public marketing or legal page mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum or PCOS — the screening exists only inside the intake
- No compounding pharmacy named, no clinician named, and /about returns a 404
- Three different legal entity names appear across Novi's own Terms, Privacy Policy and Medical Consent
- In Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and West Virginia a video or audio visit is required before treatment can start
The homepage and product page quote different prices
Novi's homepage now explicitly publishes $129 a month for semaglutide and $169 for tirzepatide on month-to-month plans. Its lower $99 and $139 headlines require three-month plans, billed $297 and $417 respectively. Those prepaid averages should be compared with other prepaid plans, rather than with a seller's monthly rate.
The dedicated semaglutide page still gives a different answer: $149 for one month, with advertised monthly equivalents of $130 over three months, $129 over six and $88 over twelve. Both pages were publicly accessible. We cannot resolve their disagreement from the public pages, so ask Novi to confirm the exact plan total, renewal amount and billing interval before paying.
- Homepage semaglutide: $129 month to month, or $297 billed every three months ($99/month equivalent)
- Homepage tirzepatide: $169 month to month, or $417 billed every three months ($139/month equivalent)
- Dedicated semaglutide page: $149 one-month option, conflicting with the homepage
- Longer-plan advertisements: monthly equivalents require the stated commitment; they are not monthly payment quotes
The current price check covers these public pages. Earlier intake observations below describe the August 2026 walkthrough; they do not establish today's checkout amount. A written quote is especially useful where the seller's own pages give different answers.
Can you cancel? Novi answers both ways
This is the contradiction to settle before you pay, and it is not a matter of tone. Novi's Terms of Service, section vii.a: the first month's fee "as well as the monthly fee for the following two months (for a total of three (3) consecutive months) is charged at the time of purchase and is non-refundable," and "Subscription based Products and/or Services require a minimum 3-month commitment." The same clause warns that customers who dispute charges to escape that commitment "will be sent to collections" and may face further legal action. Cancellation requires 15 days' notice *and* that the three months have already concluded.
Novi's own help center, article title "Are there any long term contracts with Novi?", answers: "No. Your Novi membership operates on a monthly basis, and you can cancel at any time… there are no long-term contracts or commitments." Every marketing page badges "No hidden fees · No monthly membership · Cancel anytime." Meanwhile the attestation you tick at checkout says cancellation fees may apply and that multi-month packages are not refunded for unused medication or remaining months.
The Terms are the document you legally agree to. The help center is not. That asymmetry is the whole reason to read exit terms before paying rather than after — see our guide to stopping and restarting a GLP-1. Four separate refund policies exist across four Novi documents, and none is reconciled with the others. Two money-back guarantees are advertised: the "Novi Progress Promise," footnoted "see our terms of service for full details" — where the phrase appears zero times — and a differently-conditioned "Weight Loss Guarantee" described only in the help center.
The maternal screening is real, and better than most
Here Novi earns genuine credit, and it is the split worth knowing. On every public marketing and legal page, the words pregnancy, breastfeeding, nursing, postpartum, lactation and PCOS appear zero times. But inside the intake sits a screen titled "Safety, first." that asks whether any of the following apply: currently or possibly pregnant, or actively trying to conceive; breastfeeding or bottle-feeding with breastmilk; and — the one almost nobody asks — having given birth to a child within the last six months.
Only "None of the below" advances the form, and the three flagged options carry no forward action, which is consistent with a hard stop. We did not complete the intake, so we did not see what a flagged answer produces and will not tell you. What we can say is that the question is asked, specifically, and that most GLP-1 intakes we walk do not ask it. If you are still nursing, our breastfeeding evidence review is the place to start on timing.
What holds up, and one billing detail worth your calendar
Several claims survived checking. There is no separate program fee — the Terms fold a $20 physician consultation fee into the monthly price rather than adding it on top. Shipping is free, with cold packs. Pricing is flat across doses: "your payment stays the same regardless of dosage." Clinician messaging and visits are unlimited, seven days a week. And the compounding disclaimer on /compounded-semaglutide is accurate and unhedged — the FDA has not evaluated these medications for safety, quality or efficacy, and Novi says so.
One thing to put in your calendar rather than your budget: three billing intervals are on record. The Terms say every 30 days, the help center says every 28, and the help center's own payment schedule puts the second charge 21 days after the first, then every 28 days after that. At 28-day intervals that is roughly 13 charges a year, not 12.
Where the evidence sits
The gap here is specific rather than general. Novi publishes a great deal — this is not a thin site. The current homepage and dedicated semaglutide page still give different answers about price. The earlier intake and policy observations in this review are historical evidence, not a fresh checkout or clinical-service verification. The compounding pharmacy is not named (no 503A, 503B or "outsourcing facility" anywhere), no clinician is named, /about returns a 404, and three different legal entity names appear across Novi's own Terms, Privacy Policy and Medical Consent. Its Notice of Privacy Practices even directs readers to a different company's domain — template reuse in a shared intake platform. Novi carries no FDA warning letter; the database returns zero for it, and it is named in none of the 2025–2026 compounding waves. What would change this rating is one email: a written confirmation of your monthly amount, your commitment length and your charge dates. Get it before you pay. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is another compounded program to investigate, but its current selected-plan amount also needs confirmation. Compare the written renewal price and cancellation boundary from each service; neither an advertised floor nor an earlier observation settles today's bill. Our weighting is published at scoring methodology.

Novi, answered
- Is the '$133/mo' on Novi's homepage really $133 a month?
- No. It is not a monthly rate on either product page. Novi's cheapest genuinely month-to-month prices are $149 for semaglutide and $179 for tirzepatide. The only place $133/mo appears on a product page is as the six-month tirzepatide prepay figure — a term price divided by six. The same arithmetic produces every cheaper figure on the site — $130, $129, $88 semaglutide and $149, $133, $129 tirzepatide are all term prices divided by their terms, and both product page titles headline the lowest one. If a per-month number here looks unusually low, it is a prepay, not a subscription.
- Can you cancel Novi at any time?
- Novi's marketing pages and help center say yes. Novi's Terms of Service say a subscription requires a minimum three-month commitment, that all three months are charged at purchase and are non-refundable, and that cancellation needs 15 days' notice after the commitment ends. The Terms are the document you legally agree to at checkout, and the checkout attestation itself says cancellation fees may apply. Get the answer in writing before you pay.
- Does Novi ask about pregnancy or breastfeeding?
- Yes — and unusually specifically. A screening page inside the intake asks whether you are currently or possibly pregnant or trying to conceive, whether you are breastfeeding or bottle-feeding with breastmilk, and whether you have given birth in the last six months. That last question is one almost no GLP-1 intake asks. We did not complete the form, so we cannot tell you what a flagged answer produces. Nothing on Novi's public pages mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum or lactation at all.
- When will Novi actually charge my card?
- Novi's own help center gives this schedule: first payment before you sign up, second payment 21 days after the first, then every 28 days. Its Terms say every 30 days. At 28-day intervals that is roughly 13 charges a year, not 12 — worth adding to your budget before comparing its monthly number to anyone else's.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Novi's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
