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. What matters more is whether the two are dispensing the same category of product at all.

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 — though it usually is once you have established that both dispense the same thing.

What is actually being dispensed. Ro publishes which pharmacy compounds its medication; Hims & Hers does not. On a product the FDA has not reviewed, that is not a small difference.

Which to choose

Decide on category first and price second. If one of these dispenses an FDA-approved product and the other a compounded preparation, you are not comparing like with like at any price. Where both are compounded, the pharmacy disclosure row is the next thing to weigh.

The verdict

On price alone, 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.
