The two records, condensed
Ro Body: the record, condensed
Ro Body routes tirzepatide through brand product — no single compounded cash figure exists to rank. The reference prices live one layer down: Zepbound (LillyDirect↗), $299–$449 a month cash, or whatever your insurance turns those numbers into.
On semaglutide, 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 (Wegovy (NovoCare↗) at $199–$349).
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.

SkinnyRx: the record, condensed
Start with the load-bearing figure: $299 a month, all-in, is what SkinnyRx charges for tirzepatide at the 10 mg basis. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)), a dose increase at SkinnyRx is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.
The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.
To place the number: #7 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $84/month below at NexLife↗ ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $150 a month. A year at this figure: $3,588 monthly-billed.
SkinnyRx’s semaglutide program bills $199 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 2.4 mg maintenance basis. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg), a dose increase at SkinnyRx is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.
The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.
Context for that figure: it ranks #11 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $66/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $150 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $2,388.
Operationally at SkinnyRx: shipping included; commitment none; cancellation no membership on compounded programs; pharmacy not publicly named — ask in writing before paying; states: not published; evidence source-verified, captured 2026-08-05.

Everything besides the price
Coverage: Ro Body publishes “50 states”; SkinnyRx publishes “not published” — 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)); SkinnyRx does not, which shifts the burden of verification onto your intake questions.
Exit terms: Ro Body — membership recurs monthly; membership recurs until cancelled. SkinnyRx — none; no membership on compounded programs.
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: Ro Body no public price (captured 2026-08-05); SkinnyRx source-verified (2026-08-05).
The pattern worth internalizing: in this market, structural honesty and price honesty travel together. Programs that publish pharmacies and state lists tend to publish real maintenance prices; programs that hide one usually hide the other.
Switching between Ro Body and SkinnyRx
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 (Ro Body: membership recurs until cancelled; SkinnyRx: no membership on compounded programs) 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: SkinnyRx ($299).

Pharmacy transparency: Ro Body names its fulfillment (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)); SkinnyRx does not.
Without a shared rankable price, the verdict rests entirely on the structural axes above — and on which of these two makes your remaining questions answerable in writing before money moves.

Frequently asked
Which is cheaper, Ro Body or SkinnyRx?
On tirzepatide, only SkinnyRx has a rankable figure: $299 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 SkinnyRx has a rankable figure: $199 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 Ro Body or SkinnyRx?
Ro Body: $145/month, mandatory and already included in the figures here. SkinnyRx: none.
Where do these numbers come from?
From each provider's own published pages, captured 2026-08-05 (Ro Body) and 2026-08-05 (SkinnyRx), normalized to the all-in maintenance basis and archived. Full records: the provider pages and the public dataset.
Is Ro Body or SkinnyRx dose-flat?
Ro Body: no flat structure verified — get the maintenance-dose price in writing. SkinnyRx: yes — flat across doses. Flat pricing turns the advertised number into a ceiling; tiered pricing makes it a floor.
Can I check both Ro Body and SkinnyRx 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 Ro Body and SkinnyRx serve?
Ro Body: 50 states. SkinnyRx: not published. 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 Ro Body and SkinnyRx?
Ro Body: per pharmacy. SkinnyRx: included. 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, Ro Body or SkinnyRx?
On the checkable axes: pharmacy named — Ro Body yes (brand fulfillment (manufacturer/retail pharmacies)), SkinnyRx no; state list — Ro Body published, SkinnyRx published; cancellation terms — Ro Body published, SkinnyRx published; evidence — no public price vs source-verified. 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.
