Watch out forBrand-name Ozempic here is $1,299/mo, materially above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Buy brand-name elsewhere; Gala's value is its compounded GLP-1 line.
The $79/mo membership is charged on top of medication, so the cheapest compounded semaglutide month works out at about $139, not the $60 shown on the medication page. Month one lands near $99 with the $39 new member rate.

Pros & Cons Compared

Gala

Pros

  • +Compounded GLP-1 is $149/mo on the microdose tier or $179/mo with all doses included on the yearly plan, and Gala's about page lists GLP-1 medication from $199/mo on a 3-month plan
  • +A free Gala GLP-1 app for in-treatment logging, promoted in the footer of every page; first-party logging is uncommon among compounded-only platforms
  • +OpenLoop-affiliated medical groups + LegitScript verification provide third-party accountability that many compounded-only platforms lack
  • +All 50 states, free shipping, no insurance required, 24/7 patient support claimed

Cons

  • Brand-name Ozempic here is $1,299/mo, materially above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Buy brand-name elsewhere; Gala's value is its compounded GLP-1 line.
  • Product pages quote only the yearly subscription, its about page lists a 3-month GLP-1 plan from $199/mo, and the plan you actually get is set at checkout after you log in
  • Mixed Trustpilot reviews mention dosing inconsistencies and slow customer service responsiveness, verify your specific dose and batch with each refill
  • Initial consultation is typically a sync video visit, but ongoing follow-ups are chat-based (no scheduled ongoing video access), and Gala publishes no lab panel for the GLP-1 program, no named medical director and no specialty obesity oversight; its refund policy does list lab services among what the subscription price may cover
  • Restrictive refund policy, Gala's published terms state 'IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES' with a narrow exception for provider-initiated medical disqualification. No money-back guarantee. Read the published policy at galaglp1.com/refund-policy before enrolling on a commitment plan
  • Newer brand under AI Coaching, Inc. (founded 2024 per LinkedIn), limited public company history; founders, founding year, and named medical director not publicly disclosed on galaglp1.com itself

Mochi Health

Pros

  • +Compounded semaglutide starts at $60/mo and compounded tirzepatide at $90/mo on Mochi's medication pages, both cut down from the older $99 and $199 (verified 2026-09-03)
  • +Semaglutide comes in two compounded forms, a once-weekly injection from $60/mo and a once-weekly oral pill from $62/mo, so needles are avoidable (verified 2026-09-03)
  • +Registered dietitians included alongside physicians, not just medication, but nutritional support
  • +Brand-name GLP-1s sold beside the compounded ones, with Zepbound from $299/mo, Ozempic and Wegovy from $199/mo, and the Wegovy Pill and Foundayo from $149/mo (verified 2026-09-03)

Cons

  • The $79/mo membership is charged on top of medication, so the cheapest compounded semaglutide month works out at about $139, not the $60 shown on the medication page. Month one lands near $99 with the $39 new member rate.
  • Prescription sales are final, and subscription refunds are discretionary and capped at the fee paid in the month before the request (verified 2026-09-03)
  • Mochi's own FAQ page still quotes the retired $99 and $199 flat prices that its product pages have replaced with $60 and $90 starting rates, so the published figures contradict each other (verified 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

Mochi Health edges out Gala with a score of 7.7/10 vs 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Gala is from $149/mo; Mochi Health is from $139/mo.
