Medicspot vs Juniper Comparison

Medicspot is combines prescription medication with lifestyle changes. Members are prescribed weekly GLP-1 injections (Wegovy or Mounjaro) and paired with a health coach. Alongside treatment, you work through a structured 16-week behaviour change course, with nutrition advice included throughout the programme.

Juniper is an app-driven programme that focuses on weight loss and muscle maintenance. You can be prescribed the same GLP-1 injections (Wegovy or Mounjaro), or in some cases orlistat. The app sets structured weekly goals around high-protein eating and exercise, with an AI “Health Companion” giving 24/7 habit coaching.

Medicspot puts human support at the centre. Every member has a personal health coach for one-to-one guidance, regular check-ins and help building healthy habits. You can also join a private WhatsApp group with other members for daily motivation. On top of that, nutrition advice is included and clinicians follow up about once a month to review your progress and adjust medication if needed.

Juniper leans heavily on its app. You get unlimited virtual check-ins with their prescriber team (doctors and pharmacists) and access to a 24/7 AI chatbot for motivation. The app guides you with nutrition and exercise challenges, plus meal and workout plans that unlock as you go.

Both programmes prescribe medication under UK clinical standards.

Medicspot: Every member is monitored with regular clinical reviews, and there’s an optional plan to taper medication safely when you stop. Medicspot also offers a money-back guarantee – if you don’t lose at least 5% of your body weight in the first year, you get a refund. See terms for details.

Juniper: Prescribing is done by UK-registered clinicians too, with pharmacist-led dose reviews. Juniper has also been evaluated by NICE as one of the approved digital weight management programmes. They offer a 25-day guarantee if you decide to cancel early.

Medicspot: Motivation comes from people. There’s a WhatsApp group where members share progress and coaches occasionally jump in with tips. You also get accountability from your one-to-one health coach.

Juniper: Motivation is built into the app. You can track your progress and use the 24/7 AI chatbot for encouragement. It’s less about live human interaction, more about digital tracking and nudges.

This is where the two differ most.

Medicspot: Plans start from £99 per month, depending on the medication and dose. For example, Wegovy at the starter dose is £99 for four weeks, while Mounjaro 2.5mg is £149. Higher doses cost more. Their plans include the behaviour change course, nutrition support, dedicated health coach and community access.

Juniper: Generally more expensive. The Wegovy track is currently discounted runs from about £149 to £214/month depending on dose. The Mounjaro track starts at around £199/month. All clinical follow-ups are included, and you can pause or cancel at any time.

Medicspot is a great fit if you want a more personal, clinician-led experience. You’ll have a named health coach, real people to talk to, and a supportive peer group – all at a lower starting price.

Juniper suits people who like a tech-driven approach. If you want structured exercise plans and are comfortable with AI coaching, it may be a good fit.

Both Medicspot and Juniper offer safe, clinically-led weight loss programmes. The difference comes down to style and cost: Medicspot is lower-priced and human-centred, while Juniper is more expensive but app-first with AI coaching.
