The two records, condensed
Fridays: the record, condensed
Start with the load-bearing figure: $359 a month, all-in, is what Fridays charges for tirzepatide at the 10 mg basis. The price is dose-flat: the standard titration ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)) is financially invisible here, because the top rung bills exactly what the bottom rung billed. That converts the advertised number from a floor into a ceiling — the strongest single structural feature a program in this category can have.
There is no membership line. $359 is the billed total — consultation and clinical review are inside it, and no platform fee recurs beside it, which removes the most common way advertised GLP-1 prices understate billed ones.
Context for that figure: it ranks #13 of 17 in the verified tirzepatide index — $144/month above the floor (NexLife↗, $215) — and sits $90 under the brand benchmark (Zepbound (LillyDirect↗), $449 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $4,308.
Fridays’s semaglutide program bills $175 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 2.4 mg maintenance basis. The price is dose-flat: the standard titration ladder (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg) is financially invisible here, because the top rung bills exactly what the bottom rung billed. That converts the advertised number from a floor into a ceiling — the strongest single structural feature a program in this category can have.
Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $175 is the whole subscription, which makes Fridays unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.
To place the number: #7 of 20 verified programs, with the floor $42/month below at Oak Longevity ($133); the approved-product yardstick (Wegovy (NovoCare↗)) sits at $349, so the compounded case here is worth $174 a month. A year at this figure: $2,100 monthly-billed.
Operationally at Fridays: shipping included; commitment annual plan for lowest rate; cancellation not published; pharmacy not publicly named — ask in writing before paying; states: not published; evidence third-party reported, captured 2026-08-05.

Ro Body: the record, condensed
On tirzepatide, Ro Body is a brand channel rather than a priced product: it prescribes the FDA-approved medication, and what you pay depends on coverage or the manufacturer cash programs (Zepbound (LillyDirect) at $299–$449).
Ro Body routes semaglutide through brand product — no single compounded cash figure exists to rank. The reference prices live one layer down: Wegovy (NovoCare), $199–$349 a month cash, or whatever your insurance turns those numbers into.
Operationally at Ro Body: shipping per pharmacy; commitment membership recurs monthly; cancellation membership recurs until cancelled; pharmacy named (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)); states: 50 states; evidence no public price, captured 2026-08-05.

Everything besides the price
Coverage: Fridays publishes “not published”; Ro Body publishes “50 states” — for anything short of an explicit 50-state claim, intake is the final word.
Pharmacy transparency splits them: Ro Body names its network (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)); Fridays does not, which shifts the burden of verification onto your intake questions.
Exit terms: Fridays — annual plan for lowest rate; not published. Ro Body — membership recurs monthly; membership recurs until cancelled.
Insurance: only Ro Body does coverage work — decisive if there is any chance your plan covers a brand GLP-1, because a covered prescription beats both cash paths on this page.
Evidence: Fridays third-party reported (captured 2026-08-05); Ro Body no public price (2026-08-05).
A rule that has held across this index: disclosure predicts disclosure. Whichever of these two publishes more — pharmacies, states, exit terms — is usually the one whose invoice matches its ad.
Switching between Fridays and Ro Body
Prescriptions do not transfer like phone numbers: moving in either direction means completing the destination’s intake and having its prescriber write a new patient-specific prescription. The mechanics that prevent a bad month: confirm the destination serves your state and quotes your current dose in writing before cancelling anything; time the first new shipment to overlap the last old one rather than gap it; cancel the origin per its published terms (Fridays: not published; Ro Body: membership recurs until cancelled) and screenshot the confirmation; and never leave a prepaid balance stranded — which is the standing argument for prepaying only after a program has already earned a few monthly cycles.
Which one, for whom
Cheapest tirzepatide month-to-month: Fridays ($359).
Cheapest 12-month path: Fridays at $4,308 (monthly billing).
Cheapest semaglutide: Fridays ($175).
If insurance might cover you: Ro Body — the only one of the two doing coverage work, and a covered brand prescription beats both cash paths.
Simplest billing: Fridays — no membership; Ro Body's $145/mo membership recurs until cancelled.
Pharmacy transparency: Ro Body names its fulfillment (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)); Fridays does not.
Where a like-for-like price does not exist, the comparison becomes a disclosure contest: the program that answers the pharmacy, states, and maintenance-price questions plainly is the one whose other claims deserve weight.

On tirzepatide, only Fridays has a rankable figure: $359 a month all-in ; Ro Body routes tirzepatide through brand channels without a single compounded cash price — its cost depends on coverage or the manufacturer programs (Zepbound vials $299–$449; Wegovy $349). On semaglutide, only Fridays has a rankable figure: $175 a month all-in ; Ro Body routes semaglutide through brand channels without a single compounded cash price — its cost depends on coverage or the manufacturer programs (Zepbound vials $299–$449; Wegovy $349).
Is there a membership fee at Fridays or Ro Body?
Fridays: none. Ro Body: $145/month, included in the figures here.
Where do these numbers come from?
From each provider's own published pages, captured 2026-08-05 (Fridays) and 2026-08-05 (Ro Body), normalized to the all-in maintenance basis and archived. Full records: the provider pages and the public dataset.
Is Fridays or Ro Body dose-flat?
Fridays: yes — the price holds across the titration ladder. Ro Body: no — assume the advertised figure is a starter price until the maintenance number is stated. Flat pricing turns the advertised number into a ceiling; tiered pricing makes it a floor.
Can I check both Fridays and Ro Body against their sources?
Yes — that is the design. Each record carries a capture date (2026-08-05 / 2026-08-05), a source link, and an archive link in the database; the figures on this page regenerate from those records, so any discrepancy you find is reportable and fixable sitewide in one pass.
What states do Fridays and Ro Body serve?
Fridays: not published. Ro Body: 50 states. Telehealth availability rides on clinician licensure and pharmacy permits, so for anything short of an explicit 50-state claim the enrollment flow is the final word; the state-by-state index adds the known exceptions.
Is shipping included at Fridays and Ro Body?
Fridays: included. Ro Body: per pharmacy. Cold-chain delivery is a real cost; programs that fold it into the all-in figure remove a checkout surprise, and any separate shipping line belongs in your comparison math before the prices above are treated as equivalent.
Which is more transparent, Fridays or Ro Body?
On the checkable axes: pharmacy named — Fridays no, Ro Body yes (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)); state list — Fridays published, Ro Body published; cancellation terms — Fridays published, Ro Body published; evidence — third-party reported vs no public price. Disclosure predicts disclosure in this market, and the axis where one of these two goes quiet is usually where your intake questions should get loud.
