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.
Voy starts with a health questionnaire and then provides a personalised treatment plan. Prescription medications are doctor-approved and delivered monthly. Voy highlights a “medication tailored to you” model, with plans based on your medical history and goals. The programme is built around its app and clinical team – you track progress digitally, and Voy’s clinicians monitor and guide your treatment at every step.
Based on the results of a clinical study with 806 participants.
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.
Voy offers an app for members to log progress, get educational content and manage their plan. You also have access to health coach who works with you through the app, providing motivation and side-effect management.
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.
Voy reviews each patient’s health history before prescribing. If a GLP-1 isn’t suitable, the clinician will advise against it.
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.
Voy does not have a public group forum. Instead, it relies on its app and coach to keep you motivated. There is no advertised peer chat, so motivation comes from the coach support and app reminders. Voy focuses on educational content and one-to-one encouragement rather than group dynamics.
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.
Voy is generally more expensive. The Wegovy track runs from about £144 to £239/month depending on dose. The Mounjaro track starts at around £209/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.
Voy suits people who a tech-enabled, structured programme and access to an expert team. Voy can be more expensive, but may appeal if you want detailed coaching tools in an app and are comfortable with the higher monthly fees for that level of service.
Both Medicspot and Voy are medically supervised UK weight loss services that use prescription GLP-1 medications plus coaching. Medicspot emphasises personal contact via WhatsApp (with real coaches and a supportive group) along with behavioural courses. Voy offers a more tech-focused programme with an app, clinician access, and structured coaching. Both ensure clinician oversight for safety. The two differ in pricing (Medicspot is generally cheaper for each dose), support style, and programme features. Prospective members should compare these factors against their personal preferences and budget.
If you’d prefer a personalised, human-led plan with direct coach support, you can book a free call with a health coach to explore your options.
How do Medicspot and Voy programmes differ?
Medicspot provides GLP-1 injections plus weekly one-to-one coaching via WhatsApp and a peer community. Voy also prescribes GLP-1 medications, but integrates them into a structured app with clinician access and a health coach. Medicspot is chat-based and community-driven, while Voy is app-driven with scheduled support.
Do both services have medical supervision?
Yes. Both use MHRA-approved drugs with oversight by UK-registered clinicians. Medicspot’s online assessment is reviewed by GPhC-registered pharmacists. Voy similarly reviews your health history with its medical team to ensure safety. Both follow UK medical guidelines.
What support and coaching does each offer?
Medicspot offers weekly WhatsApp check-ins with a real health coach (no AI) and a member WhatsApp chat for peer support. Voy provides a smartphone app for tracking progress and learning, plus access to clinicians and a personal coach. Both include behaviour change guidance, but Medicspot leans on community chats, whereas Voy leans on its app.
How do their medication prices compare?
Generally, Medicspot’s prices are lower. For example, a 2.5mg Mounjaro pen starts at £149 at Medicspot vs ~£209 at Voy. Wegovy 0.25mg starts at £99 at Medicspot vs ~£144 at Voy. These figures can change, so check current prices.
Which programme might suit me best?
It depends on your preferences. If you want strong community support and a lower price, Medicspot (with its WhatsApp group and coaching) may be better. If you prefer a app-based experience with clinician guidance and don’t mind higher costs, Voy could be a better fit. In either case, both aim for safe, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision.
