The short answer
Both carry compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Direct Meds is async, cash-pay and does not publish pricing before intake; Mochi runs video visits, bills insurance, advertises from $60 (semaglutide) and $90 (tirzepatide), and is built around managed dose titration. Direct Meds carries FDA warning letter 716822 and Mochi carries none.
