Karpa vs Rimo vs Cuvo: the self-serve triangle
Karpa, Rimo, and Cuvo are the self-serve triangle: newer white-label platforms that put a storefront under your brand fast, with you as the operator. The real difference between them is pricing architecture and transparency. Karpa sells tiered subscription software (the software fee, with visits and medication on top), though its figures split across its own pages at a September 8, 2026 re-check: the main pricing page carried none (and by a follow-up check the same day its URL redirected to the homepage outright), while its offers page showed partnership tiers from $297 a month throughout. Rimo positions on a flat fee with no revenue share, and by a September 8, 2026 re-check its marketing pages published the from-figure (a flat platform fee starting at $2,500 a month) while its pricing page listed tiers without figures. Cuvo publishes the fullest rate card of the three: a flat per-consult fee plus monthly platform pricing and prominent one-time setup fees, vendor-dated on its own pricing page. On all three, the medication economics and the daily operating work (support, retention, compliance posture) sit on your side of the ledger, which is the line that separates this whole lane from operated platforms.
What each one actually is.
Self-serve white-label software for peptide and GLP-1 programs with a partner provider network; on September 8, 2026 its offers page showed from-pricing while its main pricing page showed no tier figures and, by a same-day follow-up check, redirected to the homepage.
You want tiered SaaS with a program focus that matches a fitness or longevity audience, and you are ready to assemble the visit and medication economics on top of the software fee.

The pricing reality.
Karpa Health
Karpa's pricing page carried no tier figures at an initial September 8, 2026 re-check, after listing self-serve subscription tiers earlier in the year, and by follow-up checks the same day the pricing URL redirected to Karpa's homepage outright; its separate offers page showed partnership from-pricing throughout (a free affiliate tier, and white-label and full-clinic tiers both displayed from $297 per month). Vendor pages change and disagree with each other, sometimes within a day, so get current numbers from them directly. The structural point to model either way: the subscription is the software; clinical visits and medication costs sit on top, so your per-patient economics depend mostly on what sits behind the software fee.
Rimo Health
Rimo positions on a flat platform fee with no revenue share, no transaction fees, and no setup fees, and as of a September 8, 2026 re-check it publishes a from-figure on its marketing pages: the flat platform fee starts at $2,500 a month and, in its words, does not rise with patient count (its pricing page itself lists three tiers without figures, and consultation fees and card processing are billed separately, amounts unpublished). One plank moved: earlier copy in this category cited a no-medication-markup position, and that language was not on Rimo's site at the same re-check, so ask about medication economics directly and get the answer in writing. The structural point to model either way: the flat fee buys rails, and the operating work (support, retention, compliance posture, growth) stays on your side of the ledger.
Cuvo Health
Cuvo lists its pricing openly on its site: a flat per-consult fee plus a monthly platform fee (check its pricing page for the current numbers; they change). That covers the rails and visits; medication economics and the operating work of the clinic sit on top, so model the all-in per-patient number, not the consult fee.
EmbedCare prices the operated stack as flat product rates fixed in your partner agreement, with medication included on GLP-1 programs and a self-serve Launch tier starting at $495/mo.
What all three leave you assembling.
- You are the operator on all three: support, retention, and the compliance posture stay in-house, which is the real cost line the software fee does not show.
- Medication economics sit outside the platform fee on all three; for a recurring-Rx program, get the per-fill picture in writing before comparing any of them against all-in operated rates.
- All three are newer, content-heavy entrants: research surfaces mostly their own writing and competitor comparisons (this page included), so references and contract reads carry the diligence.
One operated stack instead of an assembly.
EmbedCare runs the layers this comparison keeps splitting apart: the white-label storefront and funnel, the 50-state clinician network, owned pharmacy supply with medication included on GLP-1 programs, retention, and compliance, behind your brand on flat product rates fixed in writing.
Karpa Health vs Rimo Health vs Cuvo Health: what operators ask
Karpa vs Rimo vs Cuvo: which is best?
Best at what each optimizes: Karpa for tiered self-serve software with a peptide and GLP-1 program focus, Rimo for flat-fee positioning with no revenue share and a published from-figure, Cuvo for the most fully published rate card (per-consult plus monthly plus setup fees) you can model without a call. All three make you the operator, so the bigger question is whether the self-serve lane fits your team at all.
Do Karpa, Rimo, and Cuvo publish their pricing?
All three publish figures as of September 8, 2026, in different shapes. Cuvo lists per-consult plus monthly platform pricing and one-time setup fees on its own vendor-dated pricing page. Rimo's marketing pages publish a from-figure (a flat platform fee starting at $2,500 a month) while its pricing page lists tiers without figures, with consult fees and card processing billed separately. Karpa's offers page shows partnership tiers from $297 a month, while its main pricing page carried no figures at the initial same-day re-check and, by a follow-up check, its URL redirected to the homepage outright. On all three, visits or consults and medication sit outside the headline number, so model the all-in per-patient cost.
Can I run a GLP-1 program on Karpa, Rimo, or Cuvo?
All three court GLP-1 and wellness programs at the software and visit layer. The deciding questions live outside the platform fee: the medication supply posture (branded or compounded, on what documented legal basis), the per-fill economics, and who operates support and retention. Those answers, in writing, matter more than the tier you pick.
What do self-serve telehealth platforms leave out?
The operating: patient support, retention machinery, the compliance posture, and the medication economics all stay on your side across this lane. The software fee is the visible line of a budget whose bigger lines are visits, fills, and your team's time; our pricing-models guide covers how to compare the architectures honestly.
What is the alternative to the self-serve platforms?
The operated lane: platforms that run the clinic behind your brand rather than selling you the tools, with EmbedCare's structural difference being owned pharmacy supply and flat product rates that include medication on GLP-1 programs. End-to-end networks like Beluga Health and program vendors like CareValidate sit in the same buy-the-outcome category.
