Hers vs Mochi: Which GLP-1 Program Fits You in 2026?

Hers vs Mochi comes down to fees and insurance. Both list the same starting prices for Wegovy and Zepbound. But Mochi's membership is $79 a month, and Hers' is $149 after a $39 first month (checked October 27, 2026). Mochi also works with insurance and sells compounded drugs. Hers is cash-only, brand-name focused, and made for women.

Below: the real cost at each, the fine print, and who should pick which.

Weight Loss Provider Guide is an independent comparison resource for GLP-1 telehealth providers.

Bottom line: On the same brand-name drug, Mochi usually costs less, because its fee is lower. Hers is simpler if you want brand-name only and will pay cash.

Best for Hers: Women paying cash who want FDA-approved brands only, in one app.

Best for Mochi: People who want to use insurance or Medicare, want a lower fee, or are open to compounded drugs.

Not best for either: Anyone under 18, pregnant, or with a history of thyroid cancer. Talk to your own doctor first.

What matters most: The membership fee. It is never part of the drug price at either company.

All facts below come from each company's own pages, checked October 27, 2026.

Starting prices are for the lowest dose. Higher doses can cost more at both.

The right pick depends on your insurance, state, budget, and the medicine you want. Our free Find My GLP-1 Path tool takes about 2 minutes.

Yes, for the same brand-name drug at the starting dose, Mochi costs less. Both list the same drug prices. The gap is the membership fee: $149 a month at Hers vs $79 at Mochi. That is $70 a month.

Here is the math for two common drugs. These are cash prices at the lowest dose. A "month" here means one monthly bill.

How we got the year-one fee: Hers is $39 + (11 × $149) = $1,678. Mochi monthly with a free first month is 11 × $79 = $869. Mochi's 12-month plan is $588, which works out to $49 a month.

Things that can change your total:

• Dose. Starting prices go up at higher doses at both companies. Neither price list covers every dose on one page.
• Labs. Mochi lists labs from $26. We could not confirm what labs Hers requires or charges for.
• Promos. Mochi's free first month is for new members on the monthly plan, and not in every state. Its Medicare page shows a different promo ($39 first month). Check the price at checkout.
• Who bills you. At Hers, the membership and the medicine are separate charges, and some drugs may be billed by a partner pharmacy.

For more on the Hers fee, see does Hers have a membership fee.

Hers costs more per month. Here is when that can still make sense:

• You want brand-name only. Hers has moved its weight loss program to FDA-approved drugs. It offers compounded semaglutide only in limited cases.
• You want a women-focused app. Hers is the women's brand of Hims & Hers. Its plan includes 24/7 messaging with licensed providers, a peer community, and an opt-in smart scale.
• You want more ways to cancel. Hers lets you cancel in the app, by email at support@forhims.com, or by phone at 1-800-368-0038. Mochi does not accept email.
• You want a short refund window on medicine. If you cancel within 48 hours of your first order, and it has not shipped, Hers refunds your medication plan.
• You may not need a video visit. Hers says a video visit may not be required, depending on your state.

Hers is not in every state, and a clinician decides if you qualify. To compare Hers with other big names, see Ro vs Hers and Hers vs Hims.

We'll say it plainly: on cost and insurance, Mochi comes out ahead. Mochi is not a partner of ours, so there is no Mochi button on this page. You can go to joinmochi.com directly.

Mochi is likely the better fit if:

• You want the lowest fee. $79 a month, or $49 a month if you prepay a year. Hers is $149 after month one.
• You have insurance that may cover a GLP-1. Mochi has an insurance plan from $199 a year. It says it shows your copay before you commit and helps with prior authorization (the form your plan may need before it pays).
• You are open to compounded drugs. Mochi lists compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Hers mostly does not.
• You want a dietitian. Mochi says dietitian visits are free with its insurance plan.

There is one catch, covered below: some of Mochi's own legal pages don't match its insurance and payment claims.

Hers does not take insurance. It is cash-pay only, per its terms updated October 20, 2026. See does Hers take insurance for every route.

Mochi says it does. Its pricing page lists a "Covered With Mochi" plan: $119 for 6 months or $199 for 12 months. It says visits are billed through your insurance, and you see your copay first. Your medicine copay is extra and depends on your plan.

The conflict we found: Mochi's Patient Agreement (last updated September 18, 2025) says Mochi does not directly bill commercial insurance. It also says Mochi is not enrolled with Medicare or Medicaid. Its newer pages say the opposite. Before you pay, ask Mochi in writing who will bill your plan and what you will owe.

Medicare: Mochi's Medicare page says the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge began July 1, 2026, with "as little as a $50 copay." Hers does not take Medicare or any other insurance. For more, see our Medicare GLP-1 Bridge guide.

Want insurance help from a company that spells it out? Ro is our top pick for insurance support. Ro's membership is $39 for the first month, then $149 a month (or $74 a month on a 12-month plan, $888 up front). That is more than Mochi's insurance plan. But Ro's own pages lay out its insurance process clearly. Ro's insurance help covers the Wegovy pen, Zepbound pen, and Ozempic. Insurance never pays the Ro membership. Medicaid members are not eligible. More options: GLP-1 providers that accept insurance.

Check your coverage with Ro

Compounded drugs are not the same as brand-name drugs. The FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. It does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are sold. The FDA also says they should be used only when an approved drug can't meet a patient's needs.

Mochi lists compounded semaglutide from $60 and compounded tirzepatide from $90, priced by dose. You also pay the $79 membership. So the lowest compounded semaglutide price at Mochi is $60 + $79 = $139 a month on the monthly plan. Mochi also lists compounded pills. These are not the same as FDA-approved pills like the Wegovy pill or Foundayo.

Hers offers compounded semaglutide only on a limited basis, when a clinician says it is needed.

If you are open to compounded medicine, Embody is our top pick. Embody has no membership fee. On October 27, 2026, it listed compounded semaglutide at $79 for one month, or $49 a month on a 12-month plan ($588). Compounded tirzepatide was $129 for one month, or $99 a month on a 12-month plan ($1,188). Embody says it accepts HSA/FSA. See Embody GLP-1 cost and is compounded semaglutide safe?

We read both companies' terms on October 27, 2026. Here is where the fine print adds something you should know.

On HSA/FSA at either company, keep your receipts and ask your plan before you pay. Our Hers HSA/FSA guide has more.

Hers: Cancel at least 2 days before your next bill. Use the app, email support@forhims.com, or call 1-800-368-0038. The first month's fee can't be refunded. Medicine can't be refunded once it ships.

Mochi: Cancel in your account ("cancel subscription") or call (619) 648-1247. Email is not a valid way to cancel. Your plan ends at the end of the term you paid for. Mochi does not refund part of a period, except case by case.

We list these so you know they exist. A lawsuit is a set of claims, not a finding.

• Hers, FDA letter. On September 9, 2025, the FDA sent a warning letter to Hims & Hers Health, Inc., which runs Hers. It was about how Hers marketed compounded drugs.
• Hers, FTC lawsuit. On July 29, 2026, the FTC, the Utah Attorney General, and Los Angeles County sued Hims & Hers in federal court. They claim the company signed people up for subscriptions and refills without clear consent. They also claim it made cancelling hard, failed to give refunds, and shared health data with advertisers. These are claims. The case is still early.
• Mochi, Eli Lilly lawsuit. In April 2025, Eli Lilly sued Mochi Health in federal court. Lilly claims Mochi misled people into buying compounded copies of Mounjaro and Zepbound. These are claims. In 2026, the judge let most of Lilly's claims go forward. The case was still open when we checked.
• Mochi, FDA. We found no FDA warning letter to Mochi Health in the FDA's database.

We rank providers on six criteria. Commission never changes a ranking. Here is who has the edge on each. This is our judgment from public facts, not a score.

See how we score in How We Rank.

See your own doctor before using either service if you:

• Are under 18. Mochi runs a program for kids. A child's care should go through their own doctor.
• Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Have had thyroid cancer (medullary), MEN 2, or pancreatitis.
• Take insulin or other diabetes drugs.

A licensed clinician decides if any GLP-1 is right for you. Neither company guarantees a prescription.

Is Mochi cheaper than Hers?

Usually, yes. Both list the same starting prices for drugs like the Wegovy pill ($149) and Zepbound ($299). Mochi's membership is $79 a month, while Hers' is $149 after a $39 first month. On the Wegovy pill, year one is about $3,466 at Hers vs $2,657 at Mochi's monthly plan with a free first month.

Does Mochi take insurance?

Mochi says yes. Its insurance plan costs $119 for 6 months or $199 for 12 months, plus copays. But its Patient Agreement says it does not directly bill commercial insurance. Ask Mochi in writing who will bill your plan before you pay.

Does Hers take insurance?

No. Hers is cash-pay only. You can pay with an HSA or FSA in some cases, but you may need to pay by card and send in the receipt.

Does Hers or Mochi sell compounded semaglutide?

Mochi does, from $60 a month plus the $79 membership, priced by dose. Hers offers compounded semaglutide only on a limited basis, when a clinician says it is needed. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.

Which is better for women, Hers or Mochi?

Hers is built for women and has a women-focused community and plan. Mochi serves all adults and costs less on the same drug. If you want a women-focused app and brand-name drugs only, Hers fits. If cost or insurance matters more, Mochi fits. See our best GLP-1 programs for women.

Are Hers or Mochi being sued?

Yes, both face open lawsuits. The FTC and others sued Hims & Hers, which runs Hers, in July 2026. Eli Lilly sued Mochi Health in April 2025. Both cases involve claims, not findings.
