Quick verdict
Medvi is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Medvi runs a compounded-semaglutide and tirzepatide model at flat monthly pricing, with no lock-in and rapid intake. Comparable to Henry Meds and Mochi on price; less established clinical depth than Form Health or Knownwell. Best fit for cash-pay patients who want predictable monthly cost with minimal friction.
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 cancellation terms, 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 Medvi
Best for flat compounded with no lock-in
Cash-pay patients who want flat predictable compounded GLP-1 pricing with no lock-in and same-week onboarding. Strong fit if you've taken GLP-1 before and want a simple ongoing prescription channel.
Medvi wins on pricing transparency, medication options, 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: Insurance-pathway shoppers, patients with multiple comorbidities needing clinical depth or anyone wanting branded Wegovy or Zepbound through standard PA. Note also: Compounded GLP-1 carries 503A regulatory exposure; see compounded callout
If cost is your main filter
Medvi 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 Medvi (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.
