Prices are each provider's cheapest plan, normalised to one month and including any mandatory membership where the medication is part of the price; dose-dependent plans use the starting dose. Every figure carries the date we captured it from the provider's own page. How we collect prices →
Two memberships, two bills
Both split the bill, and both bill you twice. Mochi charges a $79 monthly membership ($39 for a new member's first month, or $49–$69 a month if you prepay 3, 6 or 12 months) and a separate medication subscription billed for the pharmacy. Its compounded prices are per dose: semaglutide runs $60 to $99 a month and tirzepatide $90 to $199, so the all-in cost starts near $110 and climbs as you titrate up.
Ro charges $39 for the first month, then $74 to $149 a month depending on how far ahead you prepay, with the medication billed at NovoCare, LillyDirect or TrumpRx cash prices — $149 a month for the Wegovy pill, $299 for the Zepbound KwikPen, $349 for the Wegovy pen. Ro's medication price is also dose-dependent, so both providers get more expensive as your dose rises.
Choice of medication
Mochi offers the wider menu by a distance: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, a compounded semaglutide pill, compounded orforglipron, and brand-name Zepbound, Ozempic and Foundayo, with pharmacies chosen from a marketplace at checkout. Ro prescribes FDA-approved medication only — the Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound, Foundayo and Ozempic — and does not sell compounded GLP-1s at all.
Mochi includes a 30-minute video visit with an obesity-medicine provider, which is more clinical contact than most platforms at this price. Eli Lilly sued Mochi in April 2025 over its compounded tirzepatide marketing, the Washington Pharmacy Commission issued a stop order against a supplying pharmacy in March 2025, and the BBB posted an alert in April 2026; the profile records each with its source and status.
Insurance and getting out
Ro's insurance concierge files prior authorisations and appeals for the Wegovy pen, Zepbound autoinjector and Ozempic. Mochi collects your insurance details at sign-up, contacts your insurer about brand-name coverage, and sells an insurance-billed "Covered with Mochi" plan at $119 for six months or $199 for twelve for qualifying plans. In both cases the membership itself is cash-pay.
Cancelling Mochi means cancelling twice — the membership in your account or by phone, and the medication subscription separately on the medication page — which is the single most common source of surprise charges. Ro cancels in one place, at least 48 hours before renewal.
Which one to choose
Choose Ro if
you want FDA-approved medication, one subscription to manage and an insurance concierge that will fight a prior authorisation for you.
- Best for
- people who want FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo or Ozempic with an insurance concierge, and who will use the provider messaging and coaching the membership pays for
- Not ideal for
- people looking for cheap compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, or who dislike a two-charge model where the membership renews even if you take no medication.
Choose Mochi Health if
you want the widest choice of medication including compounded options, a live video visit with an obesity-medicine provider, and the lowest starting price — and you will remember to cancel two subscriptions, not one.
- Best for
- people who want a live video visit with an obesity-medicine provider, a wide menu of compounded and brand-name GLP-1s, and insurance support for brand-name drugs
- Not ideal for
- anyone who wants one flat all-in price that does not rise with dose, or who is uneasy about a provider currently being sued by Eli Lilly over its compounded tirzepatide marketing.
Ro vs Mochi: questions
Is Mochi Health cheaper than Ro?
At the starting dose, yes. Mochi's cheapest all-in cost is about $110 a month (compounded orforglipron plus the $79 membership) against roughly $223–$298 at Ro. Mochi's cheap plans are compounded and not FDA-approved, and both providers' prices rise as your dose increases.
Does Ro or Mochi sell compounded GLP-1s?
Mochi does — compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and orforglipron, dispensed by partner pharmacies you choose at checkout. Ro sells only FDA-approved GLP-1s and has no compounded option.
What is the Eli Lilly lawsuit against Mochi Health?
Eli Lilly sued Mochi Health in April 2025 over the marketing of its compounded tirzepatide, one of a series of suits the manufacturers brought against telehealth compounders. The Mochi profile records the filing date, the claims and the current status with links to the court record.
How do I cancel each one?
Mochi has two subscriptions: cancel the membership in your Mochi account or by phone, and cancel or change the medication subscription separately on the medication page. Ro cancels from your Ro account or by emailing care@ro.co, at least 48 hours before your renewal date.
