Quick answer
Ro is a coaching-heavy, brand-name-leaning program; telos rx is a more medication-first telehealth experience. Choose Ro if you want behavior-change structure; choose telos rx if you want straightforward GLP-1 access.
Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Ro | telos rx |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Brand-name access with a polished telehealth UX | One integrated care team across GLP-1, hormones/longevity, sexual health, and recovery (peptide-led telehealth) rather than a single-indication weight-loss pure-play |
| Medication type | Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound; some compounded options | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (injectable, plus needle-free oral/sublingual and a microdosed tirzepatide) inside an integrated peptide-led telehealth menu; medical services by an independent US-licensed medical group (Arora Health Group) |
| Pricing model | Membership + medication; insurance-friendly | Cash-pay subscription with 'first month low as' intro pricing per medication; the ongoing recurring rate is NOT published on the public site (funnel-gated at start.telosrx.com), no single defensible recurring price (Oak/LIV Body mechanism) |
| Semaglutide price | Membership $149/mo ($74/mo on annual prepay, $39 first month); Wegovy pill from $149 first month then $199–$299/mo, billed separately | Compounded, advertised 'first month low as $49'; ongoing recurring rate not published (funnel-gated), confirm at enrollment |
| Tirzepatide price | Membership $149/mo ($74/mo on annual prepay, $39 first month); Zepbound KwikPen from $299 first month then $399–$449/mo, billed separately | Compounded, injectable advertised 'first month low as $99'; oral 'first month low as $49'; microdosed 'first month low as $69'; ongoing recurring rate not published, confirm at enrollment |
| Key watchout | Brand-name medication is expensive without insurance, confirm coverage first | telos publishes only 'first month low as' intro figures (semaglutide $49, tirzepatide $99, oral tirzepatide $49, microdosed tirzepatide $69); the ongoing monthly rate is not shown on the public site and is confirmed inside the intake flow, confirm the real recurring price at enrollment. State availability is not published, no dispensing pharmacy is named, and shipped compounded medication is non-refundable. |
When to choose Ro
- You want brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, not compounded
- You have insurance and want help running prior authorization
- You value a strong app and ongoing clinical messaging
- You're willing to pay a higher all-in price for the brand-name path
When to choose telos rx
- You want one integrated care team across GLP-1 weight loss, longevity/energy (NAD+), recovery (sermorelin), and sexual health (PT-141) rather than a single-indication program
- You value an upfront 'compounded / not FDA-approved' disclosure and a LegitScript-certified telehealth platform
- You're comfortable confirming the real ongoing monthly price at enrollment (telos publishes only 'first month low as' intro figures)
- You want async care with a 5-minute online visit and a 100% refund if a clinician decides a GLP-1 isn't the right fit

Frequently asked questions

Which is better for semaglutide or tirzepatide, Ro or telos rx?

Are Ro and telos rx compounded or brand-name?

Watch for overlap on auto-renewal billing and confirm any dose-tier or formulation differences with the new clinician before your next shipment.
