Ozari vs Mochi Health: The $99 Medication That Needs a $79 Membership

Mochi's $99 semaglutide is one of the lowest medication prices in GLP-1 telehealth. It is also only slightly more than half the bill. Add the $79/month membership that Mochi's own pricing section describes — $39 for the first month on a limited-time 50% promotion — and the ongoing all-in cost lands around $178/month. Ozari's semaglutide starter, with the membership already priced in at zero, is $86.

What Mochi Publicly Lists

As of August 2026, joinmochi.com lists:

• Compounded semaglutide: starting at $99/month
• Compounded tirzepatide: starting at $199/month
• Branded Zepbound® and Mounjaro® also available (pricing not listed on the homepage — verify directly with Mochi)
• Membership: $79/month, with a promotional $39 first month for new members; prepaid multi-month plans available; terms vary by state

The membership includes unlimited access to a physician and care team, in-app coaching and messaging, and 24/7 support, and Mochi advertises "no hidden fees" and "cancel anytime." Its disclosure language is solid: "Compounded medications are not approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality," and "Medications and diagnostic services not included in membership subscription."

Ozari's true-cost tracker, verified July 2026, has recorded Mochi's membership at $69–$79/month and noted two things worth knowing: Mochi's medication price stays flat as your dose increases — a genuine advantage over dose-tier pricing — and the membership continues billing during medication pauses.

How the Models Compare

Mochi has real strengths. Flat dosing means the $99 semaglutide price has not climbed with titration, unlike dose-tier competitors. Members get registered dietitian access. Ozari's tracker notes Mochi can bill insurance for clinical visit fees, which trims out-of-pocket costs for covered patients. And Mochi's physician network is heavy on board-certified obesity medicine specialists — a credential mix few telehealth brands match.

The structural catch is the two-line bill. The $99 headline excludes the $79 membership, so the true monthly figure is about 80 percent higher than the advertised medication price. Pauses can keep billing. Ozari's counter-model is a single flat number that already includes the provider review, the medication from a licensed 503A US compounding pharmacy, and shipping — and no charge at all in months you're not enrolled.

Both companies sell compounded GLP-1s, which are not FDA-approved. Mochi also offers branded Zepbound® and Mounjaro®, which are.

The 12-Month Math

Mochi, semaglutide, using its published promo and standard rates:

• Membership: $39 + ($79 × 11) = $908
• Medication: $99 × 12 = $1,188
• Year-one total: $2,096

Mochi, tirzepatide: $908 + ($199 × 12 = $2,388) = $3,296.

Ozari's published year one:

• Semaglutide: $257 (starter) + $145 × 9 = $1,562
• Tirzepatide: $125 × 3 + $199 × 9 = $375 + $1,791 = $2,166

The semaglutide gap is $2,096 − $1,562 = $534 per year. On tirzepatide it widens to $1,130. These are the closest full-year numbers in our five-brand comparison set — Mochi is legitimately one of the more affordable membership-model providers — but the membership line is what keeps it from matching a flat model.

A note from our clinical team: A "pause" is not clinically neutral. GLP-1 medications wash out over a few weeks, and we see patients resume a paused plan at their old dose and get hit with the worst nausea of their entire treatment. If you stop semaglutide or tirzepatide for more than about four weeks — at Mochi, at Ozari, anywhere — say so before your next injection, because your prescriber will usually want to step you down before stepping you back up.

How to Cancel Mochi Health

Mochi's terms and conditions name exactly two valid cancellation channels: log into your Mochi account and select "cancel subscription," or call (619) 648-1247 and cancel by phone. Emailing hello@joinmochi.com does not count — Mochi's terms state that email requests "will NOT be considered valid." Per those terms as of August 2026, membership cancellation takes effect at the end of the current subscription term; you keep access until then, and Mochi does not refund partially used periods (discretionary refunds are case-by-case and capped at the prior month's fees). That end-of-term rule matters most on prepaid multi-month memberships, where canceling early does not recover the remaining months. Canceling the paid membership converts your account to a free tier and ends any medication subscription that requires it; the medication subscription itself can be canceled any time before a refill request goes to the pharmacy, via "Modify" on the medication page. All prescription sales are final per Mochi's refund page. Use the in-account cancel button, then screenshot the confirmation and keep it. Ozari's cancellation terms are published on its refund policy page: https://www.ozarihealth.com/refund-policy
