What each puts on the record: Mochi Health

  • Membership $79/month, or about $66/month on longer prepaid terms.
  • Prepaid terms listed at $199 for three months, $399 for six and $799 for twelve.
  • Compounded semaglutide around $99 and tirzepatide around $199 on published dose ranges.
  • Some members report $69/month provider access with $175 per 28 days of compounded semaglutide.
  • Holds roughly a 4 to 4.5 star Trustpilot average across approximately 18,000 public reviews.
  • Lab work, where recommended, is not included in the membership.

Where it wins: The insurance concierge genuinely pursues coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay. Watch for: Labs are billed separately. Ask what the clinic expects to order before you sign up.

What each puts on the record: Lemonaid Health

  • GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
  • Membership is $49/month after the first month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
  • A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
  • Medication is billed separately from the membership.

Where it wins: Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially. Watch for: Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.

In each one’s favour

Mochi Health.

  • The insurance concierge genuinely pursues coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay.
  • Large, public review base rather than a handful of curated quotes.

Lemonaid Health.

  • Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • An established platform with a long operating history in telehealth.

The desk’s call

  • Pick Mochi Health if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $840, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Lemonaid Health if what it does better matters to you — multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

On the board, Mochi Health at $278 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Lemonaid Health earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Mochi Health and Lemonaid Health.
