Ro (Ro Body): 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.

Where the structures genuinely differ
Noom Med carries no membership fee against Ro (Ro Body)'s $149 a month — $1,788 a year of structural cost before any medication ships, which is why this site prices everything all-in. On dose economics, Noom Med is dose-flat — the price survives titration — while Ro (Ro Body)'s pricing can move with the dose, a difference that compounds through a standard escalation schedule and matters most to buyers expecting to reach the higher maintenance doses. On exit terms, Noom Med's structure avoids prepaid lock-in while Ro (Ro Body)'s better rates ride prepaid terms — cheaper per month, costlier to leave early; read the refund language before choosing the discount.

What our desk is watching on each
Noom Med: Basis correction on record: the $199 figure previously recorded reflects Noom's microdose tier, which caps at 0.6 mg and therefore fails this site's maintenance-dose comparison basis; the standard compounded tiers — $249/mo semaglutide, $299/mo GLP-1/GIP Plus (tirzepatide) — are the rankable figures. Microdose tiers ($179 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide per Noom's July 27, 2026 pricing) exist for gentler entry. All plans bill quarterly, not monthly; the branded-medication track ($99/mo after a $149 first month, medication separate) is a different product. Compounded not available in all states per Noom's own materials.
Ro (Ro Body): Cash-pay all-in runs ~$448–$598/month at maintenance; Ro's value case is insurance navigation, not cash price.
Questions people ask
Is Noom Med or Ro (Ro Body) cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does Noom Med vs Ro (Ro Body) miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
What do Noom Med and Ro (Ro Body) cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $3,588 at Noom Med and $7,176 at Ro (Ro Body) — computed from each program's best published twelve-month route, with promotional figures labeled in the sections above and every number carrying its capture date.
