Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved, brand-name GLP-1s - Zepbound, Wegovy pen and pill, Ozempic, Saxenda and the new Foundayo pill - rather than compounded copies
✓Real insurance support: a dedicated team handles prior authorizations and appeals, and there is a free GLP-1 insurance checker you can run before paying anything
✓Publishes exact cash-pay prices for the Zepbound KwikPen: $299/mo at 2.5 mg, $399/mo at 5 mg and $449/mo at 7.5-15 mg with the manufacturer offer (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Membership is $39 for the first month, and as low as $74/mo if you prepay for a year
✓Long-established: trading since 2017, BBB accredited since 2018, and one of the largest telehealth platforms in the US
✓Prescriptions are typically filled and shipped within 1-4 days
✓Cash-pay Zepbound single-dose vials are available if you want to skip the insurance process entirely
✓Ongoing provider messaging, check-ins and progress tracking are included in the membership fee

Cons

✗The membership fee does not include your medication. At $149/mo month-to-month plus $449/mo for a maintenance dose of Zepbound, the realistic all-in cost is roughly $520-600 a month
✗The discounted $449 refill price depends on completing a check-in within 45 days of your last delivery. Miss that window and the price jumps to $499 for 7.5 mg, or $699 for the 10, 12.5 and 15 mg doses
✗All sales are final. Ro states it cannot issue refunds or accept returns on prescription products, except where it has made an error filling your prescription
✗The headline $74/mo membership rate requires prepaying a full year upfront
✗BBB lists 619 complaints, and Trustpilot sits at 3.8 from 4,796 reviews, with cancellation and billing the dominant negative themes
✗No customer phone number or support email is published on the site; support runs through your account
✗Because the medication price depends on your insurance, what you will actually pay each month cannot be known until after you have signed up and been assessed
✗The homepage claim 'Lose 20% body weight on average with Zepbound' comes from the manufacturer's trial of the branded drug, not from Ro's own patients

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The mandatory program fee is shown next to the medication price rather than buried in a footnote: compounded semaglutide from $75/mo and tirzepatide from $133/mo, each plus a $74.99/mo program fee (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.9 from 38,826 reviews - the largest and strongest independent signal of any brand we have reviewed
✓Efficacy claims are sourced to Ivim's own published study, with the comparator spelled out and an explicit note that it was 'Not a head-to-head study'
✓The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure is stated plainly alongside the results claims rather than in a distant footer
✓The GLP-1 ID model offers weekly provider check-ins and weekly dose adjustments, which is more active titration support than most competitors provide
✓Brand-name options are available too - Wegovy pill, Foundayo pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and liraglutide
✓Plan lengths are selectable at checkout (1, 2, 4 or 6 months) rather than defaulting to a single long commitment
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Mississippi and Washington

Cons

✗The $74.99 monthly program fee effectively doubles the cost of the entry semaglutide plan, taking a '$75/mo' headline to about $150 all-in
✗The advertised 'starting at' rates depend on plan length, and the default 'Jumpstart' option is a 4-month commitment - so the cheapest prices are not available month to month
✗The headline result, that patients 'lost an average of 46% more weight over 68 weeks', comes from Ivim's own study rather than independent research, and the comparator was diet, exercise and counselling rather than another GLP-1 provider
✗Add-on benefits are quantified with unverifiable price tags - '1:1 Virtual Holistic Consultations $850 value' and 'Master classes, group coaching & community $500 value'
✗The weight-loss calculator produces a specific projection (41.8 lbs on the default settings) that no individual can rely on
✗The supplement catalogue is very large - collagen, NMN, creatine, colostrum, berberine and more - so there is a persistent upsell layer around the medical service
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint history to set against the Trustpilot score
