Most telehealth weight-loss programs bury the real cost behind a membership fee, a separate medication bill, and a prior-auth maze. Transparent GLP-1 pricing, where you can see what you will actually pay before you hand over a credit card, is rarer than it should be. These seven companies do it better than most.
1. Mochi Health
Mochi publishes flat cash prices: compounded semaglutide at roughly $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide at around $199/mo, with discounts if you commit to three or twelve months up front. The bigger differentiator is the clinical staff. Mochi routes patients to board-certified obesity-medicine specialists, not general practitioners moonlighting in weight loss. Monitoring is more thorough than average. Insurance is accepted for branded meds when compounding is not appropriate.
Pro: Real obesity specialists, visible pricing, multi-month discount structure.
Con: Compounded products, like all compounded GLP-1s, are not FDA-approved.
2. Mochi Health… wait, that’s #1. Let me give you #2.
2. FormBlends
This one sits in a different lane from a pure weight-loss clinic, which is exactly why it earns a spot here. Where most telehealth GLP-1 providers offer semaglutide, tirzepatide, and maybe nothing else, FormBlends runs both a GLP-1 program and a full compounded peptide catalog, all under physician oversight, all dispensed through a compounding pharmacy partner that operates under cGMP standards. Semaglutide is $299 per vial, tirzepatide $349. Compare that to Hims and Hers, where branded Wegovy lists at $299/mo but tirzepatide via Zepbound runs $399/mo with no compounding option left after early 2026. FormBlends prices are posted publicly. No membership stacked on top. The pharmacy runs mass spectrometry on each batch for identity confirmation, and the published purity figure for tirzepatide is 99.3 percent. That number is product-specific, not a generic “tested for quality” badge. Available in 47 states, with cold-chain shipping included. A physician reviews every intake. A care team is reachable around the clock.
The honest caveat: compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the peptide research beyond GLP-1s is largely preclinical. This is not a clinical weight-management program with coaching or prior-auth support.
Pro: Fully visible cash pricing, published per-product purity data, physician-supervised access to both GLP-1s and a broad peptide catalog.
Con: No insurance navigation, no behavior-change coaching, and the non-GLP-1 peptides have limited human clinical evidence.
3. MEDVi
First-month pricing around $179, no contracts, no recurring membership fee. A physician reviews your case and 24/7 support is included. Compounded GLP-1. The lack of lock-in matters. A lot of competitors quietly make cancellation annoying.
Pro: No membership fee, no contract pressure.
Con: Lighter public detail on pharmacy sourcing and testing than I would like.
4. PlushCare
PlushCare keeps it simple and insurance-friendly. The app runs about $19.99/mo and gets you same-day appointments. The platform prescribes branded, FDA-approved medications only, so Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro. Visits, labs, and prescriptions are billed separately, which sounds fragmented but actually makes each cost legible. Accepts insurance.
Pro: Branded meds only means no compounding ambiguity; insurance accepted.
Con: Total monthly cost depends heavily on your insurance; cash-pay can get expensive fast.
5. Hims and Hers
Big reach, slick app, fast onboarding. After settling with Novo Nordisk in March 2026, Hims and Hers moved new patients to branded medications. Injectable Wegovy lists at about $299/mo, oral Wegovy around $249/mo, Zepbound around $399/mo. With commercial insurance and the applicable savings card, branded pricing can drop to effectively zero. That is a real advantage for insured patients.
Pro: Savings-card pathway to very low out-of-pocket costs for insured patients.
Con: Cash-pay pricing on branded meds is high; compounded semaglutide is no longer an option for new patients.
6. Ro Body
Membership starts at roughly $39 for the first month, around $74/mo on an annual plan, or $149/mo month to month. Medication is billed separately, which means the pricing layers are at least visible and distinct. Ro has a dedicated prior-authorization team for branded meds. That is genuinely useful. Polished product, real infrastructure.
Pro: PA support is a time-saver; annual plan pricing is competitive.
Con: Separating membership and medication costs requires math before you know your real monthly number.
7. Sesame (Success by Sesame)
From about $59/mo on an annual plan, you get telehealth visits and unlimited messaging. Medication billed separately. The marketplace model means pricing is displayed openly before you commit, which is the whole point of this list. Straightforward.
Pro: Low entry price, transparent structure, unlimited messaging included.
Con: Medication cost is completely separate, so budget accordingly.
