Pros & Cons Compared

Hers

Pros

+2026 Novo Nordisk partnership — FDA-approved Wegovy pen and Wegovy oral pill from $149/mo, one of the lowest brand-name GLP-1 prices on the market
+Zepbound access via the Lilly/Hims-Hers partnership announced 2026
+Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS) with strong financial backing and regulatory compliance
+Broader women's health platform — integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services

Cons

−Membership + medication are billed separately ($39 first month / $149 ongoing membership) — watch the all-in math
−Generic support experience — large patient volume means less personalized attention
−Compounded pricing starts at $199/mo but stepped pricing applies at higher doses
−Zepbound access priced at ~$1,899/mo (brand cash) via the Lilly partnership — read as access, not value

Ro

Pros

+Carries Foundayo (orforglipron) — Eli Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1 launched April 6, 2026 — at $149-299/mo via LillyDirect matching
+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 on annual prepay ($100/mo savings)
+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

Hers edges out Ro with a score of 7.3/10 vs 7.2/10. If budget is your priority, Ro starts at $149/mo compared to Hers's $199/mo. Ro accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Hers offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose Hers if you want: women who want brand-name wegovy (injection or pill) at $149/mo via the 2026 novo nordisk partnership, or a compounded semaglutide option from a publicly traded telehealth brand. Choose Ro if you want: users who want fda-approved brand-name glp-1 access including the new foundayo (orforglipron) oral pill, with direct insurance billing.
