Medicspot vs Juniper 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.

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 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.

Once you reach your goal, Medicspot continues to support you with six months of free coaching to help you maintain your progress and build lasting habits.

Juniper leans heavily on its app. You get 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 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.

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 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.

Juniper provides motivation and support through its 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 is generally more expensive. The Wegovy track 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 top-rated, 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.

Is Medicspot or Juniper cheaper?

Medicspot’s weight loss plans start lower that Juniper’s – from £99–£149 per month depending on the treatment. Juniper’s programme starts around £149–£199/month.

Which programme offers more personalised support?

Both give ongoing clinical oversight, but the support style differs. Medicspot provides a dedicated health coach and real human interaction – plus a WhatsApp group group for peer support. With Juniper, much of the support is delivered through its app and AI chatbot. If you value speaking often with real people, Medicspot may feel more personal; if you prefer learning from an app with AI guidance, Juniper may be more appealing.

Do both programmes use the same weight loss injections?

Yes, both Medicspot and Juniper prescribe the key GLP-1 treatments Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for eligible members. In practice, both companies will match you with the most suitable GLP-1 drug based on your health needs.

Do they offer money-back guarantees?

Yes. Medicspot guarantees at least a 5% bodyweight reduction within the first year, or you get a refund. Juniper similarly offers a 25-day full refund guarantee if you cancel your membership within 25 days of joining. Read the full terms for both programmes.
