Ondra Health vs. Hims, Ro Body, and Henry Meds: Compounded GLP-1 Compared
If you are comparing compounded GLP-1 telehealth platforms before making a decision, this page gives you the clearest side-by-side we can provide — including information about our competitors that we think is fair and accurate. We are not going to tell you that Ondra is right for everyone. What we can tell you is exactly how we differ from Hims, Ro Body, and Henry Meds, and what that means for your decision.
Key takeaways
Hims and Ro both charge a separate monthly membership fee on top of medication cost — Ondra's pricing is all-inclusive with no membership layer.
Henry Meds' headline price increases with dose — so the cost you see at intake is not the cost you pay at your maintenance dose. Ondra's price is flat across all dose levels.
Ondra publicly names its compounding pharmacy partners. Hims and Ro do not publicly disclose their pharmacy partners. Henry Meds names its 503B relationship but does not provide individual pharmacy detail publicly.
All four platforms offer compounded semaglutide and/or tirzepatide through telehealth. Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to brand-name products.
What all four platforms have in common
Before diving into differences, it is worth being clear about the shared baseline. Ondra Health, Hims Weight Loss, Ro Body, and Henry Meds all operate as telehealth platforms that connect patients with licensed independent medical providers who may prescribe compounded GLP-1 medications for weight management when clinically appropriate.
Shared characteristics
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to brand-name drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Intake and prescribing are conducted through telehealth. Medications are fulfilled by compounding pharmacies and shipped directly to patients. All four platforms require a provider evaluation of the patient's health profile before prescribing.
The differences between these platforms are primarily in pricing structure, transparency, pharmacy disclosure, clinical model, and who each service is designed for.
Pricing comparison
Pricing is one of the most frequently searched differences between GLP-1 telehealth platforms. The total cost may include medication, membership fees, consultations, shipping, or dose-based increases, depending on the provider.
Ondra Health
Compounded semaglutide: $113 per month on a quarterly plan, with $339 billed every 3 months. The monthly plan is $149 per month. The plan price stays the same across available dose levels.
Compounded tirzepatide: $183 per month on a quarterly plan, with $549 billed every 3 months. The monthly plan is $219 per month. The plan price stays the same across available dose levels.
No separate membership fee. No enrollment fee. Patients are only charged if a provider approves treatment. Shipping is included.
Hims Weight Loss
Structure: Hims may charge a Weight Loss Membership in addition to medication costs. Because available plans and promotional pricing may change, patients should confirm the current total cost directly through Hims before enrolling.
The membership model: Membership may include access to coaching features, provider support, and platform tools. Patients should verify which services are included and whether the membership is required for their selected medication plan.
Pharmacy disclosure: Patients should confirm which pharmacy will dispense their medication and review the pharmacy information provided during the prescribing and fulfillment process.
Ro Body
Structure: Ro Body may charge a Body Program membership fee in addition to medication costs. Pricing and program structures can change, so patients should confirm the current all-in cost directly through Ro.
What the membership includes: The Ro Body Program may include ongoing provider access, progress tracking, and behavioral support resources.
Note: Ro also offers access to certain FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 medications for eligible patients, which may make it a different type of option for patients pursuing insurance coverage.
Henry Meds
Structure: Henry Meds pricing and available programs may vary by medication, dose, and plan. Patients should review the full cost at their anticipated maintenance dose rather than relying only on an advertised starting price.
The pricing model: When comparing plans, confirm whether pricing remains flat or changes as the prescribed dose increases.
Pharmacy disclosure: Patients should confirm which compounding pharmacy or outsourcing facility will prepare and dispense their medication before beginning treatment.
Pharmacy transparency: why it matters
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality before marketing. This makes it important for patients to know which pharmacy is preparing and dispensing their medication.
A 503A pharmacy is a state-licensed compounding pharmacy that generally prepares medication for an individual patient based on a prescription. A 503B outsourcing facility is registered with the FDA and may prepare larger batches under additional federal requirements.
Ondra Health's pharmacy disclosure approach
Ondra publicly names its pharmacy partners on our pharmacy partners page, including which states each pharmacy serves, available formulations, and whether the pharmacy operates as a 503A pharmacy or 503B outsourcing facility. Pharmacy availability may vary by state, prescription, and medication selection.
When evaluating any GLP-1 platform, it is reasonable to ask which pharmacy will prepare the medication and what regulatory framework applies to that pharmacy.
