Foundayo (orforglipron), the new oral GLP-1 from Eli Lilly, joined Ro on April 9 2026 at $149/month for the lowest dose, membership on top. Beside it sit compounded semaglutide and the brand-name pair, Zepbound and Wegovy. No obesity care formulary in the category is more comprehensive. In the US, only a handful of direct-to-patient telehealth companies are larger.

Is Ro legit?

Yes. Ro is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 7.4/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.

Is there a Ro promo or coupon code?

Ro has no code to type in. The current offer: $39 for the first month, then $149/month (as low as $74/month with annual prepay); membership only, medication separate. It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Ro promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Ro scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Ro has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.

What signing up with Ro involves

What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.

  1. 1Ro shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
  2. 2Roman Health Pharmacy LLC fills the prescriptions, and Ro names it publicly, which most sellers do not.
  3. 3The monthly price includes clinician visits, lab work and coaching.
Price shown before you start
  • Lowest ongoing monthly price: orforglipron $149. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.

In its favor

  • Orforglipron costs $149 a month, close to the $149 median for brand-name orforglipron across the sellers we compare
  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes clinician visits, lab work and coaching
  • Serves all 50 states
  • Names Roman Health Pharmacy LLC as the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ro

Against it

  • Not included in the monthly price: medication

What Ro charges

The standing price at Ro is $149/month.

  • Brand-name orforglipron: $149/month

For brand-name orforglipron, the median across the sellers we compare is $149/month, so Ro's $149 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor.

HealthRX dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $133/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.

What Ro dispenses

Ro prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. These are FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded preparations, which is the more expensive route and the one where what is in the pen has been reviewed.

Safety and disclosure

Ro tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire, that it treats patients in all 50 states, and the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ro. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Ro bills your plan before you start.

It fits if

  • you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
  • you need access wherever you live

Our read

Ro lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits you. Found is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.

The Bottom Line

Ro rates best on simply being available where you are.
