Mochi Health vs TMates
Mochi Health: Mochi separates a $79/month clinical membership ($39 first month in some states) from flat medication pricing — $99/month semaglutide at any dose and $199/month tirzepatide at any dose — which makes its all-in cost easy to compute and its structure one of the most transparent in the category. TMates: TMates is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth service that includes medication and visits in one bundled monthly price. It offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, with a 12-month plan that brings tirzepatide to $167/mo — the lowest committed-plan figure for tirz outside of bmiMD and NexLife.

| All-in maintenance | $278/mo | $297/mo |

The arithmetic
On the figures our desk holds, Mochi Health's $278 a month undercuts TMates's $297 by $19 a month at the 10 mg/wk maintenance basis — $228 across a year. Mochi Health's figure is provider-stated (captured 2026-08-05) and TMates's is reported (captured 2026-07-14); a status below 'verified' means our independent checkout capture is still pending, so treat the gap as the best current evidence rather than settled fact.
Mochi Health's tirzepatide ladder runs $278 a month billed monthly. TMates's runs $297 a month billed monthly, and $167 a month on a twelve-month plan. On the twelve-month basis TMates's $2,004 beats Mochi Health's $3,336 by $1,332 — with the winner's figure resting on a committed twelve-month plan, a structural difference that matters if you might stop early.

Where the structures genuinely differ
TMates carries no membership fee against Mochi Health's $79 a month — $948 a year of structural cost before any medication ships, which is why this site prices everything all-in. On dose economics, Mochi Health is dose-flat — the price survives titration — while TMates's pricing can move with the dose, a difference that compounds through a standard escalation schedule and matters most to buyers expecting to reach the higher maintenance doses.

What our desk is watching on each
Mochi Health: Advertising leads with the medication price; the $79 membership is the number people miss. Eli Lilly named Mochi in 2025 personalized-dosing litigation; the company continues to operate.
TMates: The $158/mo (sema) and $167/mo (tirz) headline figures are 12-month plan rates; month-to-month is $249 (sema) and $297 (tirz) — some of the widest start-to-commitment spreads in the index. Reported status from RangeYourself 2026-07-14 verification.
Questions people ask
Is Mochi Health or TMates cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does Mochi Health vs TMates miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
What do Mochi Health and TMates cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $3,336 at Mochi Health and $2,004 at TMates — computed from each program's best published twelve-month route, with promotional figures labeled in the sections above and every number carrying its capture date.
