Short answer: Enhance MD scores higher on our rubric, 7.8/10 against 7.2/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Enhance MD beats Ro overall, scoring 7.8/10 vs 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Enhance MD is from $212/mo; Ro is $149/mo membership + medication. Choose Enhance MD for cash-pay shoppers who want the monthly price to stay flat as the dose goes up, and who will do a lab draw and a video visit to get it. Choose Ro for users who want fda-approved brand-name glp-1 access including the new foundayo (orforglipron) oral pill, with direct insurance billing.

Enhance MD

#8 of 34
7.8/10

Cash-pay telehealth program selling compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, a formulation containing both, and a low-dose microdosing tirzepatide plan. Every GLP-1 it sells is compounded and not FDA-approved; there is no brand-name option. The price is flat at every dose, $212/mo on the 12-month plan and $249/mo month to month (verified 2026-09-03).

Ro

#20 of 34
7.2/10

One of the most recognized telehealth brands, now restructured: Ro Body membership ($149/mo ongoing or $74/mo annual prepay) is priced separately from medication. Added Foundayo (Eli Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1 launched April 6, 2026) alongside the Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Saxenda. Ro's Mounjaro page says it does not currently offer Mounjaro and points readers to Zepbound instead.

Pros & Cons Compared

Enhance MD

Pros

  • +Same price at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the monthly bill. GLP-1 Core is $212/mo on the 12-month plan and $249/mo month to month (verified 2026-09-03)
  • +The monthly price covers lab work, the video visit with a provider, medication from a partner pharmacy and 2-day shipping, with no separate consultation fee
  • +Support is staffed seven days a week, Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EDT and Saturday to Sunday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EDT, by phone and email
  • +Four compounded GLP-1 options including a capped 1mg microdosing tirzepatide plan at $169/mo, plus a full refund of the initial payment if a provider finds you ineligible during onboarding

Cons

  • The $212/mo headline is the 12-month plan, billed every 48 weeks. Paying month to month costs $249/mo on the GLP-1 Core pricing page (verified 2026-09-03)
  • Compounded only. Every GLP-1 product page states the formulation is not FDA-approved and is compounded under federal Section 503A guidelines, and no brand-name product is sold
  • Not nationwide. The FAQ lists 40 states plus DC and leaves out Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina and Tennessee
  • Cash pay with no same-day start: a Quest Diagnostics blood draw and a scheduled video visit both come before a prescription, and no insurance option is shown on the site's pricing, FAQ or terms pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)

Ro

Pros

  • +Carries Foundayo (orforglipron), Eli Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1 launched April 6, 2026, at $149 to $299 a month depending on dose on its pricing page
  • +Direct insurance billing with major carriers, with coverage, Wegovy or Zepbound can cost $0-25/mo copay
  • +Ro Body membership: $39 first month, $149/mo ongoing, or $74/mo prepaid annually, which its pricing page frames as a $900/year saving
  • +Claims matched pricing with LillyDirect, NovoCare, and TrumpRx, some of the lowest cash brand prices available

Cons

  • Membership and medication are billed separately, readers need to add them together for the all-in monthly cost
  • Brand-name only, no compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (compounded 'limited' footnote from prior years is not reliably offered now)
  • Without insurance, brand-name meds stack on top of the $149 membership ($199+ intro, $349+ ongoing for Wegovy injection)

Our Verdict

Enhance MD edges out Ro with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Enhance MD is from $212/mo; Ro is $149/mo membership + medication. Ro accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
