Meto Health vs NOHO Labs
Meto Health is a licensed peptide-therapy platform where clinicians prescribe from your labs. NOHO Labs is a membership-based peptide telehealth service (San Francisco) that partners with physician-led Noho Medical Services, P.C.; clinicians consult by telehealth and may prescribe compounded peptides filled by 503A compounding pharmacy partners, currently in 18 states, cash-pay only. Both are legitimate, licensed models — here is how they differ, factually.

Key differences
Pricing visibility: NOHO publishes no membership or protocol prices on its public site (pricing appears only after account creation). Meto lists pricing publicly — $29/mo membership, sermorelin protocol $199–249/mo, all protocols $175–379/mo.
Billing structure: NOHO combines clinical services with a use-it-or-lose-it monthly Membership Wallet credit toward products, with an administrative fee added per order. Meto charges a flat $29/mo membership plus the protocol as a separate line item, and cold-chain shipping included.
Labs approach: NOHO orders baseline lab testing only when a specific therapy requires it. Meto is labs-first — a $149 panel or lab upload precedes every protocol.

Compounded medications are prepared by licensed pharmacies based on a prescription and are not FDA-approved. Prescriptions are issued at a licensed clinician’s discretion after an individual evaluation — completing an intake does not guarantee a prescription. Patients receive the dispensing pharmacy’s details with their medication, which can be verified with the relevant state board of pharmacy.
