The factor breakdown
Kongo on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Semaglutide at $119 a month sits in the $101–125 band; Budget Fit is 74 rather than 76 because the advertised first month depends on an expiring code.
A four-minute intake, no video requirement, review within 24 hours and all 50 states give Speed to Start an 84; some states add a brief phone call.
Kongo does not have a confirmed oral or brand-name option in our comparison, for a below-par 72 on Formulary Match.
Support Level scores 72/100 in our comparison. Confirm who answers clinical questions, how to reach them and whether follow-up visits cost extra.
Flexibility scores 80/100 in our comparison. Check the renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying; dose changes require a prescriber's approval.
Prices, what is included and the clinical lead are published; the pharmacy is not named.

What we found on their site
Read on Kongo's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The semaglutide card reads "$70" with "first month, then $119/mo" and "Code 9SEM49 · ends in 7 days"; the three-month option is "$109/mo" with "$327 billed once".
- Its trust section promises a "30-Day Guarantee" with "Full refund on your first order."
- It names "Dr. Laurie J. Mercier", who "Leads the clinical team that reviews Kongo treatments."
What we like
- Month-to-month semaglutide is $119 and tirzepatide $229, with provider review, supplies and shipping included and no membership or consultation fee
- A full refund on your first order within 30 days
- A four-minute intake with no video call required, review within 24 hours, and service in all 50 states
- Names the physician who leads its clinical team, Dr. Laurie J. Mercier
- NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione injections at $115 a month each on the same account
The caveats
- The $70 and $150 first-month prices need a promo code that expires; after that you pay the full monthly rate
- The compounding pharmacy is not named, only described as a licensed U.S. pharmacy
- Some states require a brief phone call with your provider before prescribing
- Its Intimacy and Confidence programs are still marked "coming soon"
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, as the site notes

Kongo, answered
Is Kongo legit?
Yes — Kongo is LegitScript-certified, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved; confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake.
How much does Kongo cost?
Kongo lists compounded semaglutide from $119/mo and tirzepatide from $229/mo — below our category median of $190/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review; confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Kongo ship to my state?
Yes — Kongo reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.
Kongo vs MadeMed — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Kongo at 75/100 and MadeMed at 75/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Kongo is the better fit for readers who want a quick online start on compounded semaglutide at a low monthly price, with no video call and a refund window on the first order. MadeMed suits people who want to see the exact per-dose price before starting, and want the option to move between an injection and a tablet. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data come from Kongo's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on Kongo's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
Kongo keeps compounded GLP-1s simple and fairly cheap. Semaglutide is $119 a month and tirzepatide $229, with provider review, supplies and free shipping included and no membership or consultation fee; three-month plans bring them to $109 and $215 a month, billed once. The first-month prices of $70 and $150 rely on promo codes that expire, so plan on the full rate. Starting is quick — a four-minute form, no video call, review within 24 hours, and coverage in all 50 states, though some states need a short phone call. A named physician, Dr. Laurie J. Mercier, leads the clinical team, and a 30-day refund on the first order lowers the risk of trying it. The pharmacy is not named, and some programs are still "coming soon". Bottom line: a solid low-cost choice for semaglutide.
