Medicspot vs Numan Comparison

Medicspot combines clinically led weight loss treatment with real human support. You’ll get weekly GLP-1 injections (Wegovy or Mounjaro), a dedicated health coach, and a 16-week behaviour change course with nutrition tips built in. Unlike “pen-in-a-box” services, Medicspot offers weekly check-ins, meal feedback, a supportive WhatsApp community, and ongoing clinical monitoring – so it’s not just about losing weight, but building confidence and lasting change.

Numan also offers weekly GLP-1 injections for eligible patients. Like Medicspot, it starts with an online consultation to review your medical history. Prescribing clinicians then ship your chosen medication every 28 days. The key difference is Numan’s smartphone app. The app tracks your weight and health data over time.You also receive tailored guidance on diet, exercise, sleep and mindset.

Medicspot puts people first. You’ll have your own health coach for one-to-one guidance, weekly check-ins, and habit support. Join a private WhatsApp group for daily motivation, get practical nutrition advice, and benefit from monthly clinical reviews. You can adjust your dose – whether increasing, staying the same, reducing, or tapering down for maintenance – so your treatment stays effective and tailored to you.

Numan provides support largely through its app and coaching team. You work with a health coach via the app chat – this coach offers advice on nutrition and lifestyle (e.g. diet and exercise) to suit your needs. The Numan app also delivers expert articles on healthy habits, sends medication reminders, and lets you message clinicians directly if you have questions.

Both programmes prescribe medication under UK clinical standards.

Medicspot puts safety first. Their clinicians check your NHS Summary Care Record before prescribing, so decisions are made with your full medical history in mind. Once you start, your progress is reviewed monthly to monitor results, manage side effects, and adjust treatment if needed. When the time is right, they also support with tapering or maintenance plans. Plus, with their 5% weight loss guarantee, you’ll get a refund if you don’t see results in the first year. See terms for details.

Numan is similarly overseen by UK-registered pharmacists. Every month your medication arrives as part of a subscription service, and you can message your medical team through the app at any time. Unlike Medicspot, Numan does not advertise a specific weight loss guarantee. Like Medicspot, you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time.

Medicspot keeps you motivated through people, not just apps. Your personal health coach provides one-to-one accountability, while a private WhatsApp group gives you daily encouragement, shared progress, and tips from other members, with coaches stepping in to guide when needed.

Numan supports members through its technology and coaches instead of a live support group. You log your journey in the app (entering your weight, moods, and other metrics) and receive feedback from the system and your coach. You also receive digital “nudges” and encouragement based on your data, and your coach will guide you through challenges. However, Numan does not have a built-in peer support forum or WhatsApp group; it relies on the app interface and coaching for motivation.

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.

Numan is generally more expensive. The Wegovy track runs from about £179 to £299/month depending on dose. The Mounjaro track starts at around £249/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.

Numan may suit tech-savvy users who prefer an app-first programme. If you’re comfortable managing your care through your phone – logging data in the app and interacting with coaches digitally – Numan could work well. Just be aware that Numan’s programmes start at a higher cost, so it’s best for those who prioritise convenience and tech support over price.

Both Medicspot and Numan offer medically supervised weight loss programmes using GLP-1 injections (semaglutide or tirzepatide) under UK clinical standards. The main differences lie in style and price. Medicspot combines its medication with human support (health coaches and a WhatsApp community) at a lower monthly cost. Numan delivers its programme primarily through its digital platform – with health coaches available via the app – and comes at a higher price point. Medicspot is lower-priced and human-centred, while Numan is tech-driven and more expensive. Consider which approach suits your preferences when choosing between them.

Is Medicspot or Numan cheaper?

Medicspot’s plans start much lower. For example, the entry-level Wegovy plan is £99/month with Medicspot, versus £179/month with Numan. The difference holds across other doses, so Medicspot is generally the more affordable option.

Which programme offers more personalised support?

Both programmes include ongoing medical oversight, but in different ways. Medicspot gives you a dedicated health coach for one-to-one guidance and a WhatsApp peer group. Numan also assigns a health coach, but you interact through the app. If you value frequent human contact and peer motivation, Medicspot is more personal. If you prefer managing everything via an app with coach check-ins, Numan’s style may suit you.

Do both programmes use the same weight loss injections?

Yes. Both Medicspot and Numan prescribe the same key GLP-1 treatments – Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) – for eligible members. The actual choice between them depends on your health and goals.

Do they offer money-back guarantees?

Medicspot guarantees a 5% reduction in body weight within the first year or your money back. Numan does not promise specific results in that way. Instead, they emphasise that you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time with no penalty. Always read each programme’s terms for full details.
