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, PlushCare wins on specific dimensions. PlushCare is a primary-care telehealth platform that happens to prescribe GLP-1s, not a GLP-1 specialist. That distinction makes it the strongest pick for the insured and the most expensive for everyone else.
