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
