Mochi does something almost nobody else in this category does: it publishes the whole tariff, eleven medications deep, before you enter an intake funnel. That deserves credit before any criticism of the number at the top of it.
Compounded semaglutide is $60 a month — the lowest published compounded price we have verified from any provider. The membership is $79 a month, advertised at $39 for the first month for new members. So the real cost is $139 a month, or $99 in month one.
That is not a criticism of Mochi's honesty, because both numbers are published plainly on the same page. It is a criticism of reading headline prices. At $139 all-in, Mochi sits above CoreAge Rx at $79 and Fridays at $117, both of which charge no membership at all.
What the membership actually buys
Unlimited physician and care team access, in-app messaging, 24/7 care team support, in-app coaching and — the differentiator — access to a registered dietitian included rather than sold as an upgrade. For anyone worried about lean mass loss, dietitian access is a more defensible use of $79 than most of the longevity add-ons this industry sells.
The membership also buys optionality. Mochi carries both compounded and branded products, publishing Ozempic at $199, Wegovy at $299 and Mounjaro at $499. If you start compounded and later decide you want the FDA-approved product, you are not changing providers to get it.

The gap in the disclosure
For a provider this transparent on price, the clinical disclosure is thin. Mochi publishes no eligibility criteria, no lab requirements and no shipping detail, and its insurance FAQ topic has no published answer. Pharmacy partners are described only as "trusted" rather than named.

Lowest verified compounded medication price, on a $79/mo membership.
- First month
- $99
- Every month after
- $139
- Total over 12 months
- $1,628
Of that total, $908 is membership — money that buys you no medication at all.
For comparison, CoreAge Rx publishes compounded semaglutide at $139/month on a one-month semaglutide plan — $1,668 if that rate continues over 12 months. Its $79/month starting equivalent requires a 12-month plan ($948 total). Confirm current renewal and payment terms.

What compounded semaglutide actually is
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, both FDA-approved products from Novo Nordisk. A compounded version is prepared by a pharmacy rather than manufactured by Novo Nordisk, and it is not an FDA-approved product. FDA has not evaluated it for safety, effectiveness or quality.
That distinction is the single most important thing to understand before buying. The efficacy data you have read about — the 15% average body-weight reduction, the cardiovascular outcomes — comes from trials of the branded product. Those results are routinely used to sell compounded versions that were never in the trials.
Dosing typically starts at 0.25 mg weekly and escalates over several months toward a maintenance dose, which is why dose-dependent pricing matters so much: a plan that looks cheap at the starting dose can cost several times more by the time you reach a therapeutic one.
The common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation — and are usually worst in the days after a dose increase. They are the main reason people stop. Slower titration and adequate fibre and fluid intake are the standard mitigations.
Before you buy from anyone
- Get the total monthly cost in writing — medication plus any membership, not the headline figure.
- Ask whether the price changes as your dose increases. This is where most of the money is lost.
- Ask which pharmacy compounds it, and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility.
- Confirm what happens if you stop after one month, and whether there is an auto-rebill.
- Ask whether a refund is available if a provider declines to prescribe.
- Tell the prescriber every medication and supplement you take, including anything bought online.
