Temi vs. Ro: membership, pricing and what you actually get

The Ro Body membership is $39 for the first month, then $74 to $149 a month depending on plan length, and medication is billed separately [1]. The cheapest listed medication is $149 a month for the Wegovy or Foundayo pill. On month-to-month membership that is about $298 a month in total. A Temi compounded semaglutide order starts at $59.99 per vial plus a $39 service fee [2].

Partly. Ro offers a free insurance check for Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound autoinjector pens and says it will handle the paperwork, and its membership includes an insurance concierge [1]. The membership fee itself is charged separately. Temi is cash-pay only and never bills insurance, so if your plan covers a brand-name GLP-1, Ro is worth checking first.

Not in the catalogue on its pricing page, which lists only brand-name products — the Wegovy pill and pen, the Foundayo pill and the Zepbound KwikPen [1]. Temi offers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide when a Temi physician finds them appropriate. Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved products; our compounded vs. brand-name guide explains the difference.

Yes. Ro's prices say they match LillyDirect's self-pay prices [1], and LillyDirect is where a Temi prescription for a Lilly drug is filled. Temi lists Foundayo at $149 per 30-day supply and Zepbound from $299 a month at the starting dose, both paid to LillyDirect rather than Temi [6]. No membership is required at Temi.

Ro's pricing page says the $39 first month is refunded if you are not eligible for GLP-1s. After that, you can cancel the Ro Body membership any time, but must do so before the next billing period, and monthly fees already charged are nonrefundable [1]. At Temi, if a request is closed before the prescription is sent, only the $39 review fee is charged [2].

Ro is an established US telehealth company that prescribes FDA-approved GLP-1s through licensed providers and publishes its membership and medication prices on its own pricing page [1]. Whether it suits you depends on whether you want brand-name medication and a recurring membership. Compare the total monthly cost, not just the medication line, before you sign up anywhere.

Ro describes multi-month plans as prepaid subscriptions that can save up to 50% on the membership or on certain GLP-1 medications. Its examples are $150 a month off a 12-month Wegovy pen plan and $50 a month off a 12-month Wegovy pill plan [1]. Prepaying locks in money up front, so weigh that against how sure you are the treatment will suit you.

No. There is no plan term and no membership requirement: you order when you need medication and there is nothing recurring to cancel. The optional Temi Care membership costs $449 a year and covers the $39 prescription service on eligible compounded orders plus $0 refills on non-controlled medications [4], but it is not needed to be treated.
