The verdict: Embody takes it
Both are excellent — this is a close one. Embody takes it for most people because the coaching keeps going and the medication plan flexes when supply or budget shifts. Ro is the pick if an established national brand and frictionless logistics are what put you at ease. You won't be poorly served either way.
