What is the cheapest alternative to Ro?

Zappy Health, at $199 a month for brand semaglutide with no commitment and any required membership included — $99 a month less than Ro's $298, or $1,188 over a year. That is the cheapest of 3 companies on this roster that sell the same molecule for less.

On brand semaglutide it sits 3 places from the bottom of the 11 companies here that price it: 3 are cheaper and 7 are dearer. Its own month-to-month figure is $298 all in. Advertised rate needs 12 months up front.

Do the cheaper alternatives to Ro sell the same thing?

Every company in the main table on this page publishes a price for brand semaglutide, which is the molecule Ro's own cheapest plan is for. 25 further companies are cheaper than Ro overall while selling a different molecule; they are listed separately on this page and no saving is claimed for them, because a cheaper price for a different drug is not a discount.

What would I lose by leaving Ro?

On the checks this site runs, Ro publishes support hours and discloses no consultation fee. All of the 3 cheaper companies match or beat it on that count. The rest may still be right for you; they just tell you less.

Which companies sell brand semaglutide for less than Ro?

3 of them, from $199. The column on the right is the annual difference at today's published rates — not a projection, just twelve times the monthly gap, which is the only honest arithmetic available when nobody publishes a guaranteed rate.

What would you give up?

On the five checks this site runs on every company, Ro publishes support hours and discloses no consultation fee. All of the 3 cheaper companies answer as many of those checks or more.

What a check is, and is not

These are things a company says on its own site, read on the date beside each review. A blank is a finding about the page, not an accusation about the company — but if the disclosure matters to you, it is the difference between the two prices doing something other than saving you money.

And the ones that cost more?

7 of them, which is the half of this market a page called “alternatives” usually leaves out. They are here because the question “is Ro expensive” cannot be answered by a list of cheaper things.

Cheaper, but selling something else

25 companies here are cheaper than Ro's $298 and do not price brand semaglutide at all. None of them is a swap, and this page attaches no saving to any of them: a cheaper price for a different drug is a different product, not a discount. They are listed because they are the reason a “cheapest GLP-1” list can be misleading.

Measured $79/moEvery card says "From $49/mo". On the brand plans that fee buys none of the medication, and only the home page tells you the drug costs another $149 to $449.
CoreAge Rx $99/mo$99 semaglutide, same price at every dose, price locked at checkout. A $50 to $100 consultation fee appears only in the refund policy.
Trava $117.96/moTrava is one of the few whose advertised number is almost the real one: $117.96 buys a month of compounded semaglutide with no commitment. What it does not tell you is that the figure is the lowest dose, and the price moves every time the dose does.
MyFastRx $139/moOne page advertises semaglutide at $69, $99 and $139 and offers the same $70 discount under two different promo codes. The month-to-month price is $139.
Lavender Sky Health $155/mo$155 buys a month of compounded tirzepatide at the starter dose, on top of a $65 new-patient consult — all of it published on the open web with no intake required, which almost nobody here does.
bmiMD $159/mobmiMD charges $159 for one month of compounded semaglutide and $119 only if you buy a year at $1,428. Its microdose sells for exactly the same four prices as the full dose — the only thing that changes is the number crossed out beside them.
Coby Health $159/mo$159 for the first month, climbing to $249 by month four — and of the fourteen savings badges on Coby's own bundles, six subtract exactly and five overstate what its own ladder produces.
Gimme Care $160/mo$160 a month for compounded semaglutide with no membership, no consultation fee and no commitment — and the grid on the home page is the whole of it.

17 more are on the cheapest board, which is the right page for that question because it prints every molecule beside every price.

Why does Ro cost $298?

Because the figure it advertises is not the figure it charges. $74 a month is the 12-month plan, prepaid annually — $888 on the card that day. With no commitment it is $298. The whole ladder is on the Ro cost page.

Anyone reading $74 as the price of treatment. It is the membership alone, prepaid for a year, before a single dose is paid for.

Every price here is read from that company's own page on the date its review carries, and the order is price, cheapest first — the same rule every list on this site uses. Some companies named here pay us a commission; none of them bought a position, and the Ro review is unchanged by whether Ro does.
