Our Verdict

The two biggest names in telehealth GLP-1. Ro offers both brand-name and compounded medications, accepts some insurance, and includes metabolic lab testing. Hims is simpler and cheaper with async-only compounded semaglutide. Choose Ro if you want insurance support or brand-name options. Choose Hims if you want the lowest price with no video calls.
