The factor breakdown
Kova on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Its lowest tier isn't clearly disclosed puts Budget Fit at a below-par 21 — above the budget tiers.
Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 54 on Speed to Start.
Kova sticks to compounded injectables, for a below-par 40 on Formulary Match.
Support lands at a below-par 68 — lighter, meds-first support.
Flexibility scores a below-par 25 — fewer levers to flex your plan.
Thinner public disclosure than the top of the ranking keeps Transparency at a below-par 72.
Pricing in context
How Kova's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we like
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
The caveats
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Who it's for — and who should skip it

Kova, answered
Is Kova legit?
Kova is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. It doesn't publish whether it dispenses compounded or brand-name medication, so ask which one you're being prescribed.
How much does Kova cost?
Kova doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.
Does Kova ship to my state?
Kova doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
Kova vs EllieMD — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Kova at 46/100 and EllieMD at 46/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Kova is the better fit for people who want a GLP-1 plan bundled with a tracking app and will pay a premium for it. EllieMD suits people who want mainstream telehealth GLP-1 access. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data last verified July 2026 from Kova'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 Kova's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
Kova publishes no price before intake, which makes it hard to compare against programs that do — the biggest mark against it here. It scores highest on what it is willing to publish up front. It does sit near the bottom of our 537, though. Best suited to people who want a GLP-1 plan bundled with a tracking app and will pay a premium for it. If that is not you, EllieMD is the closest thing to it here.
