Vaylen vs Ro
Two GLP-1 desks, one scoreboard. We put Vaylen and Ro head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way, no pay-to-win placement.
The verdict
Too close to call on the Brief Score.
Vaylen and Ro are level at 87/100. The scores won't separate them, so the pick comes down to fit: Vaylen for readers who want brand, compounded and oral options from one accredited nationwide desk without a premium sticker. Ro for readers who want a big, brand-name-capable platform and insurance navigation over a published flat price.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.
Factor by factor
Both desks scored on the six published Brief Score factors. The higher score in each row is marked. See the methodology.

● 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.
