Tirzepatide pricing
On tirzepatide, Mochi Health is the cheaper program at $278 a month all-in versus OrderlyMeds's $299 — a gap of $21 a month, $252 a year, at the 10 mg maintenance basis. Mochi Health: $278 a month all-in at the 10 mg maintenance basis, flat at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg, including the mandatory $79/mo membership. OrderlyMeds: $299 a month all-in at the 10 mg maintenance basis, flat at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg, no membership fee. Figure is company-stated; we could not capture it on a pricing page.
Semaglutide pricing
On semaglutide, OrderlyMeds wins at $149 versus $178 all-in — $29/mo apart. Mochi Health: Semaglutide runs $178 a month all-in. OrderlyMeds: Semaglutide runs $149 a month all-in.
Transparency
Mochi Health: Source-verified (verified 2026-08-05); names its pharmacy — company-owned compounding facility. OrderlyMeds: No price published (verified 2026-08-05); dispensing pharmacy not publicly named. In this market, a named pharmacy and a dated, source-verified price are worth real money — they are what let you check the claim instead of trusting it.
Commitment & cancellation
Mochi Health: membership recurs monthly; cancel membership any time; recurs until cancelled; $79/mo membership recurs until cancelled. OrderlyMeds: none stated; not published.
Mochi Health $278/mo vs OrderlyMeds $299/mo all-in at 10 mg — Mochi Health cheaper by $21/mo ($252/yr); twelve months: $3,336 vs $3,588; semaglutide: Mochi Health $178 vs OrderlyMeds $149; verified floor $215 (NexLife); brand rails $349–$449. Basis: all-in monthly, 10 mg maintenance, capture-dated in the dataset.
The gap, compounded over time
Here is what the $21 monthly spread between these two actually buys back over a treatment course — one month, $21; six months, $126; a year, $252; two years of maintenance, $504. Every figure is the all-in maintenance basis; the arithmetic reruns from the dataset.
The 24-month ledger
Maintenance therapies deserve maintenance math: over two years at standing rates, Mochi Health bills $6,672 and OrderlyMeds $7,176, a spread of $504 for the same molecule at the same 10 mg basis. Reference rails for the same 24 months: $5,160 at the verified floor, $10,776 on brand Zepbound at maintenance, $8,376 on Wegovy flat.
Two ladders, side by side
Put both dose ladders on the same axis and the structures argue for themselves: Mochi Health holds $278 on every rung (four-month titration: exactly $1,112); OrderlyMeds holds $299 on every rung (four-month titration: exactly $1,196). A flat ladder makes dose decisions purely clinical; a scaled one attaches an invoice to every escalation — including the post-plateau bump from 10 to 12.5 mg that many patients eventually face. Full framework: the titration cost guide.
Three buyers, two invoices
The month-one starter pays $278 at Mochi Health versus $299 at OrderlyMeds for the 2.5 mg rung — an early edge that holds once the ladder climbs. The settled 10 mg maintainer — the buyer our basis is built for — pays $3,336/year at Mochi Health against $3,588 at the other: $252 of annual daylight for the same molecule and dose.
The semaglutide board
The boards split: on semaglutide the order flips, with OrderlyMeds cheaper at $149 against $178 — a reminder that molecule choice can decide the provider question by itself. Both sit against a verified field floor of $133 and Wegovy's flat $349 brand rate; dual-molecule pricing also sets each program's internal switch cost when a plateau raises the tirzepatide question.
The five normalizations, applied to this pair
1 · All-in, not advertised. Mochi Health's ranked figure is $278 ($199 medication + $79 mandatory membership); OrderlyMeds's ranked figure is $299, with no membership to add. 2 · Maintenance basis. Mochi Health is dose-flat, so its entry and 10 mg figures coincide; OrderlyMeds is dose-flat, so its entry and 10 mg figures coincide. 3 · Terms separated. Mochi Health: standing $278, no prepaid tier; OrderlyMeds: standing $299, no prepaid tier — standing rates rank, prepaid effectives are labeled beside them. 4 · Evidence tiered. Mochi Health: source-verified, read 2026-08-05; OrderlyMeds: no price published, read 2026-08-05. 5 · Pharmacy weighed. Mochi Health names company-owned compounding facility; OrderlyMeds names no pharmacy — in a pharmacy-variance market, disclosure is a scored asset. Run the same five on any roundup you read and most published “cheapest” lists reorder themselves.
Fine print, itemized
Mochi Health: a mandatory $79/mo membership folded into our all-in figure; cancel membership any time; recurs until cancelled; commitment: membership recurs monthly. OrderlyMeds: no membership — the medication figure is the billed figure; not published; commitment: none stated. The pattern to police on both sides is the same: memberships that outlive the medication order, renewal-relative cancellation deadlines, and prepaid terms whose refund language matters more than their discount in a year of live litigation. Cancel in writing; screenshot everything.
Transparency, audited
Mochi Health carries source-verified pricing (last read 2026-08-05); pharmacy disclosure is its strong suit — company-owned compounding facility, owned facility. OrderlyMeds carries no price published pricing (last read 2026-08-05), company-stated rather than page-captured; its dispensing pharmacy is not publicly named, so the five pharmacy questions (name, 503A/503B status, state licensure, certificate of analysis, formulation) are your pre-purchase homework. Our weighting is unapologetic: in a market of identical molecule names, a dated source-verified price and a named pharmacy are the two claims a buyer can actually check, and they carry 25 of 100 formula points between them — the methodology shows the math, and the pharmacy guide decodes every answer the five questions can return.
Switching between them
Moving from Mochi Health to OrderlyMeds (or back) is administratively unglamorous: complete the new program's intake, let its prescriber issue a fresh prescription to its pharmacy, and cancel the old subscription in writing — prescriptions don't transfer between telehealth programs, and neither do prepaid balances, which is the quiet reason month-to-month terms are worth their premium.
Refills, shipping, and the week-to-week reality
The unglamorous layer — how the medication actually reaches you and stays on schedule — splits like this: Mochi Health: shipping included; consultation video visits included in membership; video visit model. OrderlyMeds: shipping included; consultation included; async visit model. Cold-chain shipments run 3–7 days across the market; the recurring failure modes are refill-timing gaps and pharmacy backlogs, so whichever program wins here, order refills a week early and confirm the pharmacy’s current turnaround at intake.
Who should pick which
Pick Mochi Health if the $21/month tirzepatide saving is the point; a named pharmacy is non-negotiable for you; unlimited included clinician and dietitian visits matter more than the last $60. Pick OrderlyMeds if the semaglutide line is cheaper here; you refuse membership fees on principle. Neither answer is universal — which is the argument for choosing from data with dates on it rather than from whichever ad loaded first.
If neither one fits
The dataset's bench is deep; the closest verified third options to this matchup's price band are Found at $289 (flat, no membership); ShedRx at $289 (dose-scaled, no membership); IVIM Health at $278 (dose-scaled, $75 membership included) — or skip straight to the rankings page, where every standard “cheapest / best / no-commitment” question is answered in one sourced sentence.
The brand benchmark both must beat
Neither program exists in a vacuum: FDA-approved Zepbound sits at $449/month at maintenance (LillyDirect or retail KwikPens, ~$350 on TrumpRx, ~$50 for newly eligible Medicare patients), and Wegovy at a flat $349. The cheaper of these two compounded options saves $2,052/year against the Zepbound benchmark — the number that has to justify accepting a not-FDA-reviewed product, per the full trade analysis. When a compounded quote drifts above ~$350, this benchmark starts winning the argument on its own.
The verdict
On the numbers alone, Mochi Health is the cheaper tirzepatide program by $21/mo and it doesn't trade that price for opacity ; OrderlyMeds's case rests on a cheaper semaglutide line. Both records, with dates and sources, live in the pricing database.
