Watch out forThe $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.
The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).

Pros & Cons Compared

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)

TMates

Pros

  • +Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
  • +Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
  • +Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
  • +Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach

Cons

  • The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).
  • The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
  • The intake is a 90-second quiz. Fast, but lighter screening than competitors with full medical intakes. Better suited to patients who already know GLP-1 basics.
  • TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.

Our Verdict

TMates edges out Mochi Health with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Mochi Health is from $139/mo; TMates is from $158/mo. TMates accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
