Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | LIV Body | Ro |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Compounded GLP-1 with four NAMED dispensing pharmacies and a named medical group (OpenLoop Health) | Brand-name access with a polished telehealth UX |
| Medication type | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, once-weekly injection; program run on a telehealth funnel (go.livbody.com) with care by OpenLoop Health clinicians | Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound; some compounded options |
| Pricing model | Monthly program; advertised per-medication 'starting at' pricing that CONFLICTS with the funnel FAQ's own program-start figure, no single defensible entry price (Oak mechanism) | Membership + medication; insurance-friendly |
| Semaglutide price | Compounded, advertised 'Starting at $179' on the medication card; the same funnel's FAQ says the program 'starts at just $249/month', conflicting first-party figures, confirm at enrollment | Membership $149/mo ($74/mo on annual prepay, $39 first month); Wegovy pill from $149 first month then $199–$299/mo, billed separately |
| Tirzepatide price | Compounded, advertised 'Starting at $279' on the medication card; ongoing rate not consistently listed, confirm at enrollment | Membership $149/mo ($74/mo on annual prepay, $39 first month); Zepbound KwikPen from $299 first month then $399–$449/mo, billed separately |
| Key watchout | LIV Body's own funnel shows two conflicting entry prices: medication cards say compounded semaglutide 'Starting at $179' / tirzepatide 'Starting at $279', while the SAME page's FAQ says 'The LivBody GLP-1 program starts at just $249/month' and elsewhere states 'Medication is included in the cost of the LIV Body Program.' No single defensible entry price, confirm the real rate at enrollment. State availability is not published ('Not available in all 50 states'). | Brand-name medication is expensive without insurance, confirm coverage first |

- You value an upfront 'not FDA-approved' compounding disclosure
- You're comfortable confirming the real monthly rate at enrollment (LIV Body's own pages show conflicting entry figures)
