Phaze vs Ro
These two products are in different categories, and that is the most important thing to know. Ro (the Ro Body Program) is a telehealth membership that connects you with US-licensed providers who can prescribe and ship FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. Phaze is a self-tracking app for your GLP-1 journey: it does not prescribe, employ clinicians, or sell medication. Many people use both, getting their prescription through a provider like Ro and tracking the day-to-day in Phaze. Here is an honest, fair breakdown.
Tracking layer vs care layer
This is not a feature scorecard, because Phaze and Ro are not built to do the same job. The table describes what each product is actually for.
| What it covers | Phaze | Ro (Ro Body) |
|---|---|---|
| What each product is | ||
| Category | A self-tracking companion app for people on a GLP-1. | A telehealth membership and prescribing service (App Store category: Medical). |
| Prescribes medication | No. Phaze is a tracking tool and does not prescribe. | Yes. Ro connects you with US-licensed providers who can prescribe and ship FDA-approved medication. |
| Licensed clinicians | No clinicians. You bring your own prescription and provider. | Connects patients with Ro-affiliated, US-licensed healthcare professionals, online. |
| GLP-1 medications | Tracks a wide range of GLP-1 medications and dose schedules. | Offers brand GLP-1s including Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, and Saxenda through its providers. |
| GLP-1 self-tracking | ||
| Estimated medication levels | Estimated Levels chart shows how a dose is estimated to build, peak, and taper, based on published pharmacokinetics. Not medical advice. | Built around care delivery rather than a self-tracking levels chart. |
| Dose & injection-site tracking | Dose log, injection-site rotation, prep checklist, and a Taper Coach for titration. | A care and prescribing program; the app supports the treatment, not granular self-logging. |
| Side-effect tracking | Log side effects, severity, and patterns over time. | Provides ongoing clinical support and coaching as part of the program. |
| Progress photos & body data | Progress photos (slider, overlay, timelapse) and Body Composition (Beta). | Focused on treatment, consults, and order tracking. |

The differences that actually matter
Four honest distinctions to help you decide whether you need a tracking app, a care program, or both.
Different jobs, not rivals
Ro is a telehealth membership that connects you with US-licensed providers who can prescribe and ship FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. Phaze is a self-tracking app: it does not prescribe, does not employ clinicians, and does not sell medication. They solve different problems, so the honest framing is complementary rather than head-to-head. If you need a prescription and clinical care, that is a service like Ro. If you want to track your doses, meals, side effects, weight, photos, and labs in one private place, that is Phaze.
What your money buys
Ro's Body Program membership pays for clinical care: provider consults, prescriptions, lab work, and insurance or prior-authorization support, with medication billed separately. Phaze's pricing (a free core plus an optional Pro upgrade) pays for a tracking tool only. They are not substitutes, so it would be misleading to call one cheaper than the other. Confirm Ro's current membership and medication pricing on ro.co, since these change over time.
GLP-1-specific self-tracking
Phaze adds a tracking layer built around the GLP-1 journey: an Estimated Levels chart based on published pharmacokinetics (not medical advice), dose and injection-site logging, side-effect patterns, progress photos with slider, overlay, and timelapse, Body Composition (Beta), labs across 8 categories, a Lifestyle Score, and a My Report PDF you can bring to an appointment. A care-delivery program like Ro is not built around this kind of day-to-day self-logging. Think of Phaze as the tracking layer and Ro as the care layer.
Two different data models
Phaze is local-first by design. Medical data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored on your device, and it never leaves unless you choose an encrypted backup. Ro is a regulated telehealth provider, so it necessarily handles your health information to deliver care, that is simply how clinical services work. Neither is weaker; they are different by design, and the right choice depends on whether you want a care service or a private personal tracker.
How they can work together
If you already get your prescription through Ro, or any clinic, Phaze can be the place you track everything between appointments.
Get your care from a provider
Use a telehealth program like Ro, or your own clinic, for prescriptions, consults, labs, and insurance support. That is the part Phaze does not do.
Track the day-to-day in Phaze
Log doses, rotate injection sites, watch your Estimated Levels, capture progress photos, and note side effects, all in one private app on your device.
Bring a clear picture to appointments
Generate a My Report PDF of your weight, nutrition, doses, side effects, and labs to share with your provider. It is a wellness summary, not a medical document.
Common questions
No. Ro (the Ro Body Program) is a telehealth membership and prescribing service, listed in the App Store's Medical category, that connects you with US-licensed providers who can prescribe and ship FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. Phaze is a self-tracking companion app for your GLP-1 journey. It does not prescribe, employ clinicians, or sell medication. They are different categories that can be used together.
No. Phaze is a tracking tool only. It does not prescribe, recommend, or supply any medication, and it does not provide medical advice. For prescriptions and clinical care you would use a telehealth program such as Ro, or your own clinic. Phaze is where you track the doses, meals, side effects, weight, photos, and labs along the way.
Yes, and many people do. You can get your prescription and clinical care through Ro (or any provider) and use Phaze to track your doses, injection sites, Estimated Levels, side effects, progress photos, and labs between appointments. Phaze is the tracking layer; Ro is the care layer.
They are not directly comparable, because you are paying for different things. Ro's Body Program is a monthly membership that includes provider consults, prescriptions, labs, and insurance support, with medication billed separately. Phaze has a free core with an optional Pro upgrade, and it is a tracking tool, not a care service. For Ro's exact current membership and medication pricing, check ro.co, since those figures change over time.
It depends on what you need. If you need a prescription and clinical care, choose a telehealth program like Ro (or your own clinic). If you want a private, GLP-1-specific place to track doses, meals, side effects, weight, progress photos, and labs, choose Phaze. If you want both, they pair well: care from your provider, tracking in Phaze. Ro is a reputable, established telehealth company, and Phaze is happy to be the tracking layer alongside it.
