Before you subscribe

Feature lists change quickly. Confirm the current plan and supported platform on the official product page.

  • Decide whether you want the app to initiate or wait for you.
  • Check whether voice means a live conversation or voice-to-text logging.
  • Verify which features require a paid plan.
  • Review privacy, deletion, renewal, and cancellation terms.

Build a check-in rhythm that fits your day.

Glow AI Coach is a separate app subscription purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play. It is not the separately enrolled and billed Endo Health GLP-1 clinical program or medical care.
