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

Pros

✓This is not a compounded-medication business. Wisp prescribes FDA-approved generics, so you get medicines that have been reviewed for safety, efficacy and quality - a genuine difference from most telehealth brands we cover
✓Prices are low and published: most generic birth control pills from $15/month, the patch from $12, the vaginal ring from $22, levonorgestrel (generic Plan B) from $12.50, DoxyPEP from $22 and boric acid suppositories at $27 (checked July 28, 2026)
✓The provider consult fee is included in the product price rather than charged separately
✓You can have prescriptions sent to a local pharmacy for same-day pickup and apply your insurance there, or take free delivery to all 50 states. Very few telehealth brands let you use insurance at all
✓Wisp also issues a GoodRx discount card for lower out-of-pocket pharmacy costs, which works against its own delivery revenue
✓The formulary page lists the brand-name equivalent for every generic - Cyred EQ alongside Desogen, Apri and Reclipsen, for instance - so you can verify what you are getting
✓Roughly 11,000 Trustpilot reviews with 99% of negative ones answered, usually within a day
✓Broad, genuinely useful catalogue: BV, yeast infection, UTI, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, at-home STI testing, birth control, emergency contraception, menopause, PCOS, fertility and migraine
✓DoxyPEP is offered for post-exposure bacterial STI prevention, which reflects current CDC guidance rather than a novelty product
✓Menopause care is a flat $99 online consult covering estrogen and progesterone hormone replacement, with the price stated up front
✓FSA and HSA accepted across most of the range, and orders are processed within 24 hours including weekends

Cons

✗A 4.0 Trustpilot average is the lowest of the well-reviewed brands we cover. Across 11,000 reviews that reflects a real spread of experiences rather than a small-sample fluke
✗Every price is a 'starting at' figure, so the final cost depends on the specific product and supply length you are prescribed
✗The claim that levonorgestrel is '60% cheaper at Wisp than when buying PLAN B at the pharmacy' is not sourced to any price survey or date
✗'Our Doors Are Always Open' sits alongside stated support hours of 9:30am-6:30pm EST Monday to Friday, so the messaging oversells availability
✗Boric acid suppositories are sold for vaginal health but are not FDA-approved for that use, and the evidence base is thinner than for the prescription products alongside them
✗The '1.8 million people' figure is the company's own with no independent verification
✗Hormonal contraception is not suitable for everyone - smokers over 35 and people with a history of blood clots, stroke, certain migraines with aura or oestrogen-sensitive cancers need a clinician's assessment before starting
✗Because prescriptions can be routed to a retail pharmacy, your final cost there may differ from the price shown on the Wisp site
