Quick verdict
Ro Body is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Ro is the program for patients who want the cleanest interface and don't care about compounded options. They exited compounded in 2025 and now route exclusively through Lilly and Novo branded fulfillment.
That said, Hims & Hers wins on specific dimensions. Same-day prescription, no lock-in and brand-name confidence. Hims pivoted to branded-only in March 2026 after settling with Novo Nordisk; compounded semaglutide is closed to new patients. Headline price is $299/mo branded Wegovy injectable (self-pay), plus $149/mo membership.

When to choose Hims & Hers
Best for fast async onboarding
Patients who want a fast, low-friction async path to a branded GLP-1 prescription with predictable monthly pricing.
Hims & Hers wins on tied dimensions and runs $145/mo cheaper than Ro Body at the entry tier ($299 vs $444). Over a year that's $1,740 you keep. The caveat: Patients who wanted Hims's old compounded semaglutide tier or who need insurance-routed branded access. Compounded is closed to new patients. Note also: Settled with Novo Nordisk March 9, 2026 over compounded semaglutide marketing
When to choose Ro Body
Best for branded with polish
Patients who want FDA-approved branded GLP-1s, a polished app experience, and don't mind paying full branded prices.
Ro Body wins on medication options, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Cash-pay patients who want the cheapest possible monthly cost. With membership + branded medication, the monthly total is rarely under $200/mo even at the introductory tier. Note also: Direct partner of Novo Nordisk for Wegovy fulfillment
If cost is your main filter
Hims & Hers is the cheaper monthly: $299 all-in vs $444 for Ro Body. That's $145 a month or $1,740a 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 $435 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
Hims & Hers (month-to-month) and Ro Body (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.
