| Price shape | One ongoing rate | Membership excludes medication |
| What the price doesn’t say | $159/mo is the semaglutide rate; tirzepatide is $239/mo. The $149/mo quoted for Foundayo (oral orforglipron) is the misleading one. It excludes a $125/mo Shed membership and provider fee paid directly to Shed, so that route is $274/mo all in, the most expensive option here rather than the cheapest. | $74/mo is the Ro Body membership alone on a 12-month plan paid up front once a year; month to month it is $149/mo ($39 for the first month). Medication is billed on top, priced by dose: the Wegovy pill is $149/mo at 1.5 mg and $299/mo at 9 mg and 25 mg, so the lowest total is about $223/mo on the annual plan. |
