Ro beats Luvo Health overall, scoring 7.2/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Ro is $149/mo membership + medication. Choose Luvo Health for people who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide alongside longevity, nad or hormone care from one clinic, and who will weigh the 4-week price against the 12, 24 and 52-week totals before committing. Choose Ro for users who want fda-approved brand-name glp-1 access including the new foundayo (orforglipron) oral pill, with direct insurance billing.

Luvo Health

#54 of 54

2.4/10

Luvo Health is a multi-service telehealth clinic running weight loss beside microdosing, longevity, skincare, hormone replacement and testosterone. Its GLP-1 line covers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, compounded semaglutide tablets, and brand Ozempic and Zepbound, each with its own page and published price. Pricing is headlined per week and billed in 4-week cycles, with 12, 24 and 52-week plans published as single totals, and the brand rates are among the highest we track.

Ro

#33 of 54

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

Luvo Health

Pros

+Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
+Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
+Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
+Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

−Brand pricing is the highest we track: on its pricing page Ozempic is $1,299 and Zepbound $1,399 per 4-week cycle, against NovoCare self-pay at $349, and neither brand qualifies for the longer-plan discounts the compounded products get
−Prices are headlined per week and billed per 4-week cycle, so a 4-week charge lands 13 times a year rather than 12; the 12, 24 and 52-week plans are priced as one total instead, so compare totals rather than weekly rates
−The cheapest weekly rates need a full year paid as one total: on its pricing page semaglutide injection is $45 a week only as a $2,327 52-week plan, and tirzepatide $67 a week only as a $3,497 52-week plan
−No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
−Four compounding pharmacies are named in the terms, but which one fills your prescription is disclosed only in your order confirmation, so you cannot pick the pharmacy before you buy
−Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
−Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted

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

Ro edges out Luvo Health with a score of 7.2/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Ro is $149/mo membership + medication. Ro accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Luvo Health offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both Luvo Health and Ro start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 54 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. 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.
