Refills and Mochi Health both prescribe GLP-1 medication online, take payment directly from the patient and ship to the door. That is where the overlap stops.
The headline both platforms advertise is a month-one number. Refills keeps that number; Mochi Health moves once the introductory period ends, which is what actually determines the twelve-month bill.
This comparison works from what each provider publishes: the entry price, what it becomes at month two, the medication actually dispensed, and what is bundled rather than billed. Where a provider quotes only after intake, that is recorded as the answer rather than replaced with a guess.
The short answer
- Easier to price in advance
- Refills — GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day. The other side quotes after intake, so a like-for-like total is not available before you apply.
- Most predictable bill
- Refills — Flat rate at every dose, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Tirzepatide access
- Refills — The only one of the two that publishes a dual GIP/GLP-1 option.
- Most support included
- Mochi Health — 24/7 support plus ongoing appointments throughout the program.

Refills vs Mochi Health on total cost, not entry price
The advertised rate answers the wrong question. The totals below are the honest version, built from the rates each provider publishes.
| Refills | Mochi Health | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $99 | $99 |
| Months 2 onward | $99/mo | Not published |
| 6-month total | $594 | Not computable |
| 12-month total | $1,188 | Not computable |
| Best published plan | No multi-month discount published | No multi-month discount published |
A like-for-like annual total is not available for Mochi Health: total monthly cost is membership plus medication and varies by plan and medication. Treat any comparison that quotes one as an estimate someone else has made for you.
What happens to the price as your dose goes up
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are titrated upward over the first months of treatment. Some providers price per milligram in all but name, so the invoice climbs alongside the dose; others hold one rate the whole way.
Refills is in the second group: $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing. Mochi Health is in the first — membership-plus-medication pricing is harder to forecast than a flat rate — which means the number you compared at signup is not the number you will be paying at month four.
The fix is one question at intake: what do I pay at maintenance dose? Everything else about pricing follows from that answer.

- you want the full price in front of you before completing an intake
- you want a single monthly charge rather than a membership plus medication

The compromises on both sides
On price. Only Refills publishes a rate you can plan against (GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day). The other quotes after intake, which is a cost of a different kind: you cannot budget the year in advance.
On predictability. Flat rate at every dose at Refills, against membership fee plus the cost of medication at Mochi Health. The more predictable structure is worth a premium to anyone who has been surprised by a telehealth invoice before.
On access. Refills advertises 3-minute approval quiz and free, fast and discreet shipping on every order; Mochi Health advertises live video visit with a doctor, bookable in about 5 minutes and home delivery. Coverage differs too — availability varies by state against all 50 states — which decides the question before price does if you are in a restricted state.
On medication. Refills covers compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist; Mochi Health covers compounded GLP-1. Only Refills publishes a tirzepatide route, which matters if semaglutide underdelivers.
What the trials and the FDA say
Both platforms sell access to the same drug class, so the clinical record below applies equally to each.
SURMOUNT-4 found that continuing tirzepatide maintained and extended weight reduction, while withdrawing it led to substantial regain, per JAMA, SURMOUNT-4.
The SELECT trial found semaglutide reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease, without diabetes, per NEJM, SELECT.
Which is to say: the medication decision belongs with a clinician, and the platform decision belongs with a spreadsheet.
Refills vs Mochi Health: common questions
What happens when Mochi Health's promotional price ends?
Total monthly cost is membership plus medication and varies by plan and medication. Ask for it before the first charge, since it governs almost the entire cost of a year of treatment.
Do Refills or Mochi Health take insurance?
Both run on a direct-pay basis: you pay the platform and it does not bill your insurer. Neither publishes HSA/FSA acceptance, so budget the full amount as out-of-pocket spending.
How fast can I start with Refills compared with Mochi Health?
Refills advertises 3-minute approval quiz, with free, fast and discreet shipping on every order. Mochi Health advertises live video visit with a doctor, bookable in about 5 minutes, with home delivery. Both are subject to clinician review and to whether your state and health history clear, so treat the advertised timeline as a best case rather than a commitment.
Which has more patient reviews, Refills or Mochi Health?
Mochi Health, with 36,124 against 7,400. Ratings across this market cluster tightly, so volume is the more useful signal: it indicates how much operational load the platform has already absorbed, not how good the medication is.
Are Refills and Mochi Health legitimate?
Both are licensed telehealth platforms that route a prescription through a clinician review before anything is dispensed; neither sells medication without one. Refills operates on flat rate at every dose with pricing published upfront, Mochi Health on membership fee plus the cost of medication, partly published. The meaningful due diligence is on the medication category and the terms, not on whether the platforms are real.
The verdict
Neither of these two publishes enough for a clean cost verdict, which is itself the finding. Refills leads on $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing; Mochi Health leads on a live video visit with a doctor in about five minutes, where most competitors run an asynchronous text review.
