Medications

Ro offers medications from both Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (Zepbound and the Foundayo pill). Hims & Hers offers Wegovy through a partnership with Novo Nordisk. If you and a clinician are considering tirzepatide or Foundayo, Ro is the one of the two that offers them.

Price

For self-pay patients, both programs land at roughly $448 a month all-in for the Wegovy pill, which includes their program fee on top of the medication. Prices vary by medication and dose. With commercial insurance that covers weight-loss drugs, costs can be much lower.

Support and experience

  • Ro puts more emphasis on insurance checks and prior-authorization paperwork, plus unlimited messaging with a care team.
  • Hims & Hers has a fast async intake and a polished app with progress tracking, and runs separate programs for men and women.

Which may be worth comparing?

  • Ro may be worth comparing if you want the widest brand-name choice or help with insurance.
  • Hims & Hers may be worth comparing if a fast, app-first experience with brand-name Wegovy matters most.

In both programs, a licensed clinician decides whether any medication is suitable.
