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, Strut Health wins on specific dimensions. One of the cheapest legitimate compounded options in the US market thanks to a niche oral lozenge format. No membership fee, free shipping, free consults and physician access included. Trade-off: lozenge bioavailability data is thin compared to standard injectable semaglutide.

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, 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
When to choose Strut Health
Best for oral semaglutide entry
Cost-sensitive patients who want needle-free GLP-1 entry under $100/mo and don't mind a less-studied delivery format.
Strut Health wins on pricing transparency and runs $245/mo cheaper than Ro Body at the entry tier ($199 vs $444). Over a year that's $2,940 you keep. The caveat: Anyone who wants brand-name FDA-approved semaglutide or insurance-billed care. Note also: Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved
If cost is your main filter
Strut Health is the cheaper monthly: $199 all-in vs $444 for Ro Body. That's $245 a month or $2,940a 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 $735 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 Strut Health (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.
