bmiMD vs Ro (Ro Body)
bmiMD: bmiMD is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform notable for flat per-dose pricing — the rate stays the same whether you're at 2.5 mg or 15 mg — and one of the widest plan-tier menus in the market. Its $99/mo semaglutide and $139/mo tirzepatide on the twelve-month plan are the lowest annualized figures in the dataset for both molecules. Ro (Ro Body): Ro exited compounded GLP-1s in 2026 and now pairs a $39-then-$149/month membership (about $74/month prepaid annually) with brand-only medication: Wegovy pill from $149, Wegovy pen from $199 promotional / $349 standard, and Zepbound from $299 to $449 by dose. Its insurance concierge — benefits checks, prior authorizations, appeals — is the strongest in the category and can take a covered patient to a $25 copay.

Questions people ask
Is bmiMD or Ro (Ro Body) cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does bmiMD vs Ro (Ro Body) miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
