Independent provider comparison
Updated September 27, 2026
A side-by-side look at total cost, medication format, care, commitment and the situations where each option makes more sense.
Embody’s GLP-1 website is joinem.co. GLP-1 Picks is an independent comparison site.
The short decision
We would start with Embody if your priority is a simple cash-pay compounded-injection bundle. Its public one-month semaglutide plan includes medication for $79. Mochi is the better fit if you want its physician access, app coaching and separate care membership. Its $79 monthly membership renewal excludes medication and diagnostics, so the two headline prices buy different things. Choose the care arrangement you will use, then compare the full prescribed-plan cost.
Embody pays us a commission through our links. Mochi Health is included as an editorial comparison and does not currently pay us through this site. How we make money.
Our pick for a simple cash-pay injection plan
Medication, clinical review, coaching and shipping in one plan. Start with one month if you want a smaller initial commitment.
Semaglutide: $79 for one month, or $828 prepaid for a year ($69/month equivalent). Compounded treatment requires clinical approval and is not FDA approved.

Choose Mochi for its care membership
Mochi combines physician access with in-app coaching and messaging. Its separate membership may suit someone who wants that ongoing care setup.
Monthly membership renews at $79, with medication and diagnostics extra. Its new-member membership discount has state and eligibility conditions.

Side by side
Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.

| Why each one | Publishes a complete four-tier price ladder for both molecules, so the commitment behind every advertised rate is checkable rather than implied. | One membership covering compounded GLP-1s from $60/mo and brand-name GLP-1s with published starting prices, including a compounded oral semaglutide pill for people who will not inject (verified 2026-09-03). |
| Last Published Score | 7.3/10 | 7.7/10 |
| Headline Price | from $69/mo | from $139/mo |
| Medication Type | Compounded | Both |
| Insurance Accepted | No | No |
| Best For | People who want to compare Embody's published plan menu with its separate monthly promotion and will confirm the exact charge, term and refund rules before paying | Users who want a tech-forward platform with app-based tracking |
| Watch out for | Payments are normally non-refundable. If Embody's provider determines medical disqualification, its refund policy allows a refund for unused services after deducting services already provided. Cancellation otherwise stops future renewal. The twelve-month semaglutide plan commits $828 up front; cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date. | Membership renews at $79/mo, on top of medication and diagnostic services. Recurring starting totals are $139 for compounded semaglutide or $169 for tirzepatide, before diagnostic costs; the prescribed dose can increase the medication price. |

The $69 headline is not a flat verified checkout price. The public catalogue lists $79/$129 for one month and $69/$119 monthly equivalents on twelve-month prepay ($828/$1,428). A separate promotion advertises $69/$119 flat monthly, while the still-published April 24 terms list different introductory and fixed-price programs. Which terms apply to the final offer and renewal remains unverified. Sources checked September 27, 2026.
Compounded Semaglutide Injection (advertised plan floor): $79. Month-to-month rate. Public catalogue ladder checked 2026-09-20: $79 monthly, $76/mo on 3 months ($228), $73/mo on 6 ($438), $69/mo on 12 ($828). This row is the catalogue plan, not the separate offer described in the review.
Compounded Tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP) Injection (advertised plan floor): $129. Month-to-month rate. Public catalogue ladder checked 2026-09-20: $129 monthly, $126/mo on 3 months ($378), $123/mo on 6 ($738), $119/mo on 12 ($1,428). This row is the catalogue plan, not the separate offer described in the review.
Cancellation: Choose a 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan at signup. Cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date, and the policy dated August 25, 2026 says all payments are final and non-refundable, with a refund for unused services on provider-determined medical disqualification, after deductions for services already provided. Multi-month plans are non-refundable in whole and in part. Refill orders triggered by user-completed optional refill intake can pull the next billing date forward.

Trade-offs
Mochi's membership includes physician access, in-app coaching and messaging. It advertises a $39 first-month membership for eligible new subscribers, renewing at $79 on the monthly plan. Medication and diagnostic services are separate. That structure makes sense if you value the membership itself; ask for the treatment quote as well before comparing it with an Embody bundle.
Embody's public catalogue lets you compare one month with longer prepaid terms. The semaglutide options are $79 for one month or $828 paid for twelve months, equivalent to $69 a month. The lower equivalent is a commitment, not a $69 monthly bill. Its separate promotional offer may carry different terms; confirm the charge and renewal shown during signup.
For an eligible patient who wants a compounded injection, that one-month option is our practical starting point. Clinical approval is required. Compounded medicines are not FDA approved, and paid plans are normally non-refundable; Embody publishes a limited exception for provider-determined medical disqualification. Compare the plan's fit before committing to a longer term.
