The short version

  • Only Komoot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack; Noom coaches deliver automated, canned responses without personalization and most lack formal qualifications as registered dietitians
  • They diverge on capability: Komoot covers Route planning, Noom covers Psychology-based curriculum.

  • komoot Premium is a separate subscription from the one-off map region purchases

Noom

  • Coaches deliver automated, canned responses without personalization and most lack formal qualifications as registered dietitians
  • App crashes and freezes frequently with issues saving data, and barcode feature for food tracking malfunctions
  • Food database requires tedious manual data entry even for common items, discouraging consistent logging
  • Difficult cancellation process requiring navigating multiple steps to opt out of auto-renewal
  • FTC settlement in 2022 for $62 million over misleading auto-renewal and refund practices
