7 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Ro's $348 a month. 7 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $448 a month.

Ro sells only brand-name GLP-1s, from a $149 pill to a $199 Wegovy pen and a $299 Zepbound KwikPen, and each one needs a Ro Body membership of $74 to $149 a month on top.

Best for: People who want FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound or a GLP-1 pill, help checking insurance coverage, and a membership that handles dose changes and side effects.

What Ro does well

  • Brand-name only: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149 a month, the Wegovy pen from $199 and the Zepbound KwikPen from $299
  • Every medication price is published by dose before you sign up, so you can see what the higher doses cost
  • The first month of membership is $39, refunded if you aren't eligible for a GLP-1
  • Prepaying the membership lowers it to $99, $89 or $74 a month on three, six or twelve months
  • Ro will check your insurance coverage, and the membership covers on-demand provider support, side-effect care and dose adjustments

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Two separate charges: medication is billed apart from the membership, so the Wegovy pen starts at $348 a month all-in on the monthly plan
  • The $199 Wegovy pen price covers only the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses; from 1 mg it is $349, and Zepbound rises to $399 at 5 mg and $449 above that
  • No compounded option, so nothing here costs less than the brand-name cash prices
