Quick verdict
Mochi Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Flat monthly pricing, transparent compounded sourcing and no lock-in. Best fit for cash-pay patients who want predictable monthly billing.
That said, Costco / Success by Sesame wins on specific dimensions. Costco bundles Success by Sesame care with discounted self-pay branded GLP-1 at Costco Pharmacy. The medication price is genuinely low for a brand-name pen: the Wegovy or Ozempic injection is $349/mo self-pay, with care from $59/mo on the annual plan. The catch is a paid Costco membership, and the bundle has no member outcome record yet.

If cost is your main filter
Mochi Health is the cheaper monthly: $178 all-in vs $208 for Costco / Success by Sesame. That's $30 a month or $360a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $90 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Mochi Health (month-to-month) and Costco / Success by Sesame (month-to-month) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
