Pricing in words
Ro charges $299 per month at the starting dose, rising to $449 per month at higher doses for brand-name tirzepatide (pen). Whether a separate program or membership fee applies has not been confirmed. On our all-in basis, the lowest true monthly cost is $299 and the lowest 12-month total is $4,977 (month-to-month plan). Because pricing rises with dose, the 12-month figure uses our 3 + 9 titration model (three months at the starting price, nine at the maintenance price).

What to weigh against each
Ro: Program fee is billed separately from medication, and brand-name self-pay prices are far above compounded prices. Compounded pricing has changed repeatedly since the shortages ended. Requires more steps (insurance checks, prior authorization) than compounded-only providers.
Remedy Meds: Introductory prices typically step up after the first month; the recurring rate is what we rank. Pharmacy and coverage pending verification.
How to read this comparison
Both providers were scored with the same rubric and the same cost model. Rankings never use the advertised monthly price on its own, because a low first-month number can hide a membership fee or a dose-based increase. Where a provider's price has not been directly checked against its own site, we say so and do not rank it on cost. Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are not FDA-approved; the only FDA-approved products are Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus. See the methodology and important safety information.
