Hims & Hers vs Ro

Both sell tirzepatide. Hims & Hers costs $238 a month and Ro costs $448, a difference of $210 a month or about $2,520 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.

Hims & Hers is widest range of formats. 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 — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.

What this means for your titration. Both price the same way as your dose climbs, so the gap between them stays constant the whole way up the ladder.

Which suits you

If this is your first course, weight the two rows about dose pricing above everything else. A programme that keeps the price flat lets you stop climbing when your body says so, and that single freedom does more for whether you are still taking this in month three than $210 a month does.

The verdict

For most people starting out, Hims & Hers at $238 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: Hims & Hers and Ro.
