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, Embla wins on specific dimensions. Embla is the closest thing the US market has to a Noom-meets-Calibrate hybrid that actually leans into the medication. Heavy behavioral coaching, branded-first prescribing, structured 12-month curriculum. Best for buyers who want the program to do half the work.
