Ro vs Telos Rx
Two GLP-1 desks, one scoreboard. We put Ro and Telos Rx head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way, no pay-to-win placement.
The verdict
Ro takes this head-to-head.
Ro scores 87 to 85 on our six-factor Brief Score — A heavyweight platform with brand-name access and a polished experience — but it keeps compounded pricing off the record.
That doesn't make Telos Rx a bad call — it's best for readers who want glp-1 care and a needle-free oral or microdosed route on the same certified desk that also carries peptides, nad+ and hrt — and will trade fda-approved brand access and up-front pricing for the deepest menu at the lowest annual-lock rate. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities before you decide.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.

Ro: Brand-name access and insurance navigation, but compounded pricing stays off the record.
Telos Rx: Headline GLP tiers held flat this cycle, but the $49 microdosed and $99 tirzepatide rates are annual-lock prices — short-term plans run meaningfully higher, and everything outside GLP-1 stays unpriced until intake.
● Not sold on either?
CoreAge Rx tops the whole board at 94/100.
The steadiest desk on the board: one flat, no-step-up price on both molecules, nationwide, and it hasn't moved.
