Ro vs Hims (2026): Price, Medications and Which to Choose

Updated September 21, 2026 2 products compared

Short answer: Ro and Hims both prescribe only FDA-approved GLP-1s, such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo, for a $149 monthly membership plus medication. Both start at $298 a month all-in. Ro is the stronger pick for most people because it publishes every dose price, helps with insurance, and drops to $223 a month on a 12-month prepaid plan. Prices checked September 20, 2026.

Price

Both charge $39 for the first month of membership, then $149 a month. Ro also offers a 12-month prepaid membership at $74 a month, which brings its lowest all-in cost to $223. Ro lists the cash price of every dose; for example, Zepbound at 7.5 to 15 mg is $598 a month all-in. Hims lists starting-dose prices only and says prices may vary by dose. Medication is FSA and HSA eligible at Hims; the membership is not.

Medications

Both offer the Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound, the Foundayo pill and Ozempic. Ro also lists Saxenda, and Hims also lists Mounjaro and the Wegovy pen up to 7.2 mg. Neither currently lists compounded GLP-1s: Hims agreed in March 2026 to stop advertising them after a lawsuit from Novo Nordisk.

Care and insurance

Ro’s membership includes provider messaging, dose adjustments, check-ins, coaching, labs if needed and an insurance concierge that runs a free coverage check. Hims includes a personalized plan, 24/7 messaging with licensed providers, dose adjustments and a peer community, but says insurance is not required and offers no insurance paperwork help.
