Plan pages: LifeMD plans · Ro (Ro Body) plans
At 10 mg/week, LifeMD is $746 a month all-in and Ro (Ro Body) is $747 — $1 apart, or $12 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $8,952 (billed monthly) and $8,964 (billed monthly).
LifeMD charges a flat $597 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
Ro (Ro Body) prices tirzepatide by dose: $448 per month at 2.5 mg rising to $598 at 10 mg, a difference of $150 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
| Dose | LifeMD | Rank | Ro (Ro Body) | Rank | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $597 | 31/31 | $448 | 29/31 | Ro (Ro Body) by $149 |
| 5 mg | $597 | 17/17 | — | — | only LifeMD publishes |

| 10 mg | $597 | 26/27 | $598 | 27/27 | LifeMD by $1 |
| 12.5 mg | $597 | 17/17 | — | — | only LifeMD publishes |
| 15 mg | $597 | 17/17 | — | — | only LifeMD publishes |
The lead changes with the dose. Between 2.5 mg and 10 mg it passes to LifeMD. Pick on the dose you expect to settle at, not the headline.
Across the 27 programs this database can rank on tirzepatide, LifeMD sits 26 of 27 on all-in monthly cost and Ro (Ro Body) sits 27. They are adjacent in the field, with nothing priced between them. The field median is $339 and the floor is $169, so both sit above the median. LifeMD is $577 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record. Ro (Ro Body) is $578 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record.
LillyDirect (Zepbound), the lowest FDA-approved tirzepatide channel here, is $449 a month — LifeMD undercuts it by $-297, Ro (Ro Body) by $-298. Compounded products are not FDA approved; insurance can reverse that comparison.
| Plan term | LifeMD | Ro (Ro Body) | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $597 | $598 | LifeMD by $1 |
| Settled dose | LifeMD | Ro (Ro Body) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $8,952 | $7,164 | $1,788 apart |
| 5 mg | $8,952 | — | one side unpriced |
| 7.5 mg | $8,952 | — | one side unpriced |

LifeMD publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Ro (Ro Body) publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $8,952 on LifeMD and $8,814 on Ro (Ro Body) — $138 apart, and a different gap from the $12 you would get by multiplying the monthly difference by twelve. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: Ro (Ro Body) publishes no price at 2 of them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 38.6 for LifeMD and 26.3 for Ro (Ro Body), against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. LifeMD leads by 12.3 points, and the margin comes from structure rather than price alone.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LifeMD | 15.9 | 12.8 | 10 | 0 | 38.6 |
| Ro (Ro Body) | 15.8 | 10.5 | 0 | 0 | 26.3 |
Semaglutide

At 2.4 mg/week, LifeMD is $497 a month all-in and Ro (Ro Body) is $647 — $150 apart, or $1,800 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $5,964 (billed monthly) and $7,764 (billed monthly).
LifeMD charges a flat $348 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
Ro (Ro Body) prices semaglutide by dose: $298 per month at 0.25 mg rising to $498 at 2.4 mg, a difference of $200 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
The lead changes with the dose. Between 0.25 mg and 2.4 mg it passes to LifeMD. Pick on the dose you expect to settle at, not the headline.
Value Scores are 40.9 for LifeMD and 24.5 for Ro (Ro Body), against a semaglutide category floor of $129. LifeMD leads by 16.4 points, and the margin comes from structure rather than price alone.
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
LifeMD is cheaper month to month — $746 against $747, a gap of $1 every month, or $12 across a year if both rates hold.
Commitment
LifeMD asks for Month-to-month; Ro (Ro Body) asks for Membership month-to-month ($39 first month; ~$74/mo prepaid annual). This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Dose policy
LifeMD charges one price at every dose; Ro (Ro Body) prices by dose. That difference usually matters more than the headline gap, because the tiered program's advertised figure describes the dose you start on, not the dose you settle at.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. LifeMD's figure is provider-stated and Ro (Ro Body)'s is reported. LifeMD rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $8,952 for LifeMD and $8,964 for Ro (Ro Body). LifeMD is lower by $12 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Cancellation terms
Both state the same cancellation terms: Cancel anytime.
Membership fee
LifeMD charges a membership of $149 a month on top of the medication. That is already folded into the all-in figures above — it is broken out here because a membership is a recurring charge that continues even in a month you skip a shipment.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.
What each record says
LifeMD Official site
LifeMD attaches a $149/month program fee to medication pricing; its compounded tirzepatide all-in figure ($597) is the highest in our index, though its insurance-navigation pathway for brand products is a genuine strength.
It does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy; the record shows Partner pharmacies, so who actually makes the medication cannot be independently verified; commitment terms are Month-to-month; cancellation is Cancel anytime; availability is stated as 50 states.
Evidence: provider-stated — taken from the provider's own published pages; checkout capture pending, captured . Source — lifemd.com pricing capture 2026-08-05
Watch: Highest all-in compounded tirzepatide in the index; the value case rests on clinical service and insurance help, not price.
Ro (Ro Body) Official site
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.
It names its compounding pharmacy — Brand fulfillment via NovoCare / LillyDirect pathways, recorded as Brand channel + insurance concierge — which can be checked against state board licensing and FDA inspection records before you order; commitment terms are Membership month-to-month ($39 first month; ~$74/mo prepaid annual); cancellation is Cancel anytime; availability is stated as 50 states.
Evidence: reported — sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending, captured . Source — Ro pricing pages as reported Jul 2026 ($149 membership + Zepbound $299–$449 by dose); first-party checkout capture pending
Watch: Cash-pay all-in runs ~$448–$598/month at maintenance; Ro's value case is insurance navigation, not cash price.

Ask LifeMD and Ro (Ro Body) for each of those in writing before enrolling. A gap is not evidence of a problem; it does mean nothing can be checked against it.
What would change this answer
Evidence may be upgraded. Ro (Ro Body) carries a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
Which one suits which reader
On the lowest standing monthly rate for tirzepatide, LifeMD Official site wins this matchup.
