Hims vs Mochi Health
Hims' cash-pay brand-name membership against Mochi Health's dietitian-supported program with compounded and brand-name options.
Short answer
Mochi Health is the cheaper start: a $79 membership plus compounded semaglutide from $60, about $139 a month, with video visits, a dietitian and insurance help. Hims sells brand-name drugs only, cash-pay, from about $298 a month with its required membership. Both carry the Wegovy pill and Foundayo. Hims has an FDA warning letter on record (716567).

Is Hims or Mochi Health better?
Both charge a membership plus medication. Hims' membership is $149 after a $39 first month and buys 24/7 messaging, an app and an optional smart scale; its medication starts at $149, and higher-dose prices aren't published. Mochi's $79 membership buys live video visits with a provider you choose and a registered dietitian, and it prices both compounded and brand-name drugs by dose. Mochi works with insurance; Hims doesn't. Hims received FDA warning letter 716567 in September 2025, linked below.
