Pros & Cons Compared

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)

Sprout Health

Pros

+Published average weight loss outcomes: 12-15% body weight at 6 months across their patient base
+Dedicated care coordinator assigned to each patient, not a rotating pool of providers
+Transparent pricing: $250/mo covers medication, shipping, and all consultations
+Operating since 2022 with a consistent track record, no sudden pricing changes or service disruptions

Cons

−$250/mo all-in sits in the upper-mid range, $90 more than Willow for a similar model; the premium pays for the dedicated coordinator and published outcomes
−No insurance accepted, and no superbill provided for FSA/HSA reimbursement
