Ro (Ro Body) publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Fridays 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $8,814 on Ro (Ro Body) and $4,308 on Fridays — $4,506 apart, and a different gap from the $4,656 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 the 6 doses, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 26.3 for Ro (Ro Body) and 60.7 for Fridays, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Fridays leads by 34.4 points, and the margin comes from structure rather than price alone.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |

| Ro (Ro Body) | 15.8 | 10.5 | 0 | 0 | 26.3 |

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.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Fridays is cheaper month to month — $359 against $747, a gap of $388 every month, or $4,656 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Ro (Ro Body) states Cancel anytime, while Fridays states Cancel before renewal. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
Ro (Ro Body) asks for Membership month-to-month ($39 first month; ~$74/mo prepaid annual); Fridays asks for Month-to-month. 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
Fridays 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. Ro (Ro Body)'s figure is reported and Fridays's is provider-stated. Fridays 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.
Membership fee
Ro (Ro Body) 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.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $8,964 for Ro (Ro Body) and $4,308 for Fridays. Fridays is lower by $4,656 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.

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, Fridays Official site wins this matchup. If you expect to titrate to the top of the ladder, fridays's flat pricing is worth more than the headline gap suggests; if you want to be able to pause without still paying, fridays carries no membership; and if you would rather trust a better-evidenced number, fridays's price rests on stronger provenance.
Both figures should be checked at the provider's own checkout before you pay. Ro (Ro Body)'s tirzepatide price is reported as of 2026-08-11; Fridays's is provider-stated as of 2026-08-05.
