Remedy Meds vs Ro

Both sell tirzepatide. Remedy Meds costs $399 a month and Ro costs $448, a difference of $49 a month or about $588 a year. Over a year that is the whole question.

Remedy Meds is flat pricing with unlimited clinician access. Ro is branded medication with insurance help. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though for a cash payer it usually is.

Where the money actually goes

They differ on 2 of the 7 things we track, and behave the same on the other 5. The differences are what the price gap is actually buying.

What each one charges for: Remedy Meds

• Compounded semaglutide priced at $299/month flat, regardless of dose.
• Compounded tirzepatide priced at $399/month flat, regardless of dose.
• First month of tirzepatide discounted to $279, then $399/month.
• Medication is included in the monthly fee rather than billed separately.
• Unlimited clinician access, check-ins and dose adjustments included.
• Branded Zepbound offered at around $1,399/month.

Where it wins: Genuinely flat pricing — the dose can go to the top of the ladder without the bill moving. Watch for: The $279 introductory tirzepatide month renews at $399. Budget from the renewal figure.

What each one charges for: Ro

• Ro Body membership is $39 for the first month, then $149/month.
• Membership does not include the cost of GLP-1 medication.
• Ro has exited compounded GLP-1s and works with FDA-approved branded products.
• Effective all-in cost commonly lands between $298 and $598/month depending on the medication and any insurance coverage.
• Cancellation requires notice before the renewal date.

Where it wins: FDA-approved medication only, which removes the compounding-regulation question entirely. Watch for: The membership and the medication are two separate bills. A $39 first month does not mean a $39 prescription.
