DISCLOSURE — Coreage Rx pays this desk a commission when a reader signs up through our link. It buys no ranking, no score and no deletions. Method: how we rate. Full terms: disclosure.

Both sell tirzepatide. Ozari Health costs $125 a month and Ro costs $448, a difference of $323 a month or about $3,876 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

Ozari Health is lowest advertised semaglutide price. Ro is branded medication with insurance help. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. Ozari Health advertises $125 and bills $125; Ro advertises $149 and bills $448. The gaps are different sizes, which means comparing the two on their advertised prices gives you the wrong answer.

What each puts on the record: Ozari Health

  • Compounded semaglutide advertised from $86/month — the lowest verified rate in this comparison.
  • Compounded tirzepatide advertised from $125/month.
  • No membership fee; free expedited 3-5 day shipping included.
  • HSA and FSA accepted; no insurance billing.
  • Physician review through Arora Health, the same clinical network behind Trimi, with named medical directors.
  • States on its own pages that compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
  • Publishes verbatim Trustpilot reviews rather than curated testimonials.

Where it wins: The lowest advertised compounded semaglutide price we have verified. Watch for: Confirm whether $86 is a month-to-month rate or requires a longer commitment, and ask which pharmacy compounds it.

What each puts on the record: Ro

  • Ro Body membership is $39 for the first month, then $149/month.
  • Membership does not include the cost of GLP-1 medication.
  • Ro has exited compounded GLP-1s and works with FDA-approved branded products.
  • Effective all-in cost commonly lands between $298 and $598/month depending on the medication and any insurance coverage.
  • Cancellation requires notice before the renewal date.

Where it wins: FDA-approved medication only, which removes the compounding-regulation question entirely. Watch for: The membership and the medication are two separate bills. A $39 first month does not mean a $39 prescription.

  • The lowest advertised compounded semaglutide price we have verified.

The desk’s call

  • Pick Ozari Health if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $3,876, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Ro if what it does better matters to you — fda-approved medication only, which removes the compounding-regulation question entirely.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

On the board, Ozari Health at $125 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Ro earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Ozari Health and Ro.
