Which is cheaper, TMates or Ro?

TMates has the lower monthly figure: $158/mo against $223/mo for Ro (a membership plus the lowest medication price, added up by us). Check the plan length: a monthly figure on a prepaid plan is not the same as a month-to-month price.

TMates: $1,900 over 12 months ($1,900 for the 12-month plan, as the clinic prints it).
Ro: about $2,676 over 12 months at the lowest medication price ($74/mo membership plus $149/mo medication, added up by us; higher doses cost more).

What the price doesn’t say	$158/mo needs the twelve-month plan at $1,900. Shorter terms: $1,050 for six ($175/mo), $650 for three ($217/mo), $249 for one. Same price at every dose. The $99/mo published for brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy is not used as a starting price. The page never says whether it is cash or insurance-dependent, and its own FAQ says cost depends on your insurance.	$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.
