Quick verdict
Henry Meds is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Henry built the cash-pay compounded GLP-1 category and still runs the cleanest version of it. Predictable bundled pricing and true month-to-month terms, though the semaglutide tiers moved behind signup in June 2026. Pivoted hard after the FDA shortage delisting and now leans on personalization-claim 503A pharmacies.
That said, Ro Body wins on specific dimensions. 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.

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 onboarding experience 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
When to choose Henry Meds
Best for cheapest compounded
Buyers who want predictable flat-rate compounded semaglutide with no commitments and minimal friction.
Henry Meds wins on pricing transparency, member reviews and runs $265/mo cheaper than Ro Body at the entry tier ($179 vs $444). Over a year that's $3,180 you keep. The caveat: Patients who want branded Wegovy or Zepbound through insurance, or who want a high-touch coaching program. Note also: Subject of ongoing scrutiny over personalization-claim compounding post-shortage delisting (FDA Feb 2025).
If cost is your main filter
Henry Meds is the cheaper monthly: $179 all-in vs $444 for Ro Body. That's $265 a month or $3,180a 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 $795 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
Ro Body (month-to-month) and Henry Meds (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.
