Short answer: both prescribe only FDA-approved GLP-1s and both start at $223 a month all-in on a 12-month plan. Ro wins for flexibility and price transparency; WeightWatchers wins if you want dietitians and a structured behavior program. Prices checked September 20, 2026.

Price

Ro’s membership is $39 the first month, then $149 a month, or $74 a month prepaid for 12 months.
