Pros

+Flat $99/mo semaglutide at ALL dose levels, saves $100-200/mo vs competitors who charge more at higher doses
+4 semaglutide formats: injection, oral tablet, oral drops, and microdose, the most delivery options of any platform
+Registered dietitians included alongside physicians, not just medication, but nutritional support
+Both compounded and brand-name medications available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus)

−No refunds for payments made over 30 days ago, limited consumer protection window
−Relatively new company (founded 2022) with less track record than established platforms

Ro

Pros

+Carries Foundayo (orforglipron), Eli Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1 launched April 6, 2026, at $149-$349 depending on dose and refill timing 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

Mochi Health edges out Ro with a score of 7.7/10 vs 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Mochi Health is from $178/mo; Ro is $149/mo membership + medication. Ro accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
