What to weigh against each
Mochi Health: $79 monthly membership is billed on top of the medication, so the all-in cost is never the advertised medication price. Monthly video visits are required to maintain the prescription, which some patients find burdensome. Named in Eli Lilly's 2025 litigation over compounded tirzepatide marketing. Advertised medication prices are first-month rates; the renewal medication price is more than double, and the $79 membership is billed on top.
Hims: Lowest advertised rate typically requires paying 12 months up front. Did not offer compounded tirzepatide as of our last check. Its 2025 brand-name Wegovy partnership with Novo Nordisk ended within months. $149 monthly membership excludes medication; the all-in cost depends on which product is prescribed and at what price.
How to read this comparison
Both providers were scored with the same rubric and the same cost model. Rankings never use the advertised monthly price on its own, because a low first-month number can hide a membership fee or a dose-based increase. Where a provider's price has not been directly checked against its own site, we say so and do not rank it on cost. Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are not FDA-approved; the only FDA-approved products are Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus. See the methodology and important safety information.
