Kongo review: it names its pharmacies, then prices the market wrong
Kongo charges $119 a month for compounded semaglutide, $109 if you prepay three months, and $229 for tirzepatide — no membership, every figure on the page before any intake. It also names both pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which hardly anyone here does. The weak part is the table beside those prices: Kongo puts "the other guys" at $299, and the median we measured is $209.

The money verdict
I would buy here, and I would ignore the comparison table. Naming Absolute Pharmacy and Strive with street addresses, printing the compounding disclosure in plain words, and publishing prices without an intake are three things most of this category refuses to do, and together they matter more than $10 a month. The competitor table is the odd note — it names no company, so nothing in it can be checked, and the $299 it attributes to the market is $90 above the median we measured and above what three sellers on this site charge.
Worth it if
- You want to know exactly who compounds it: Absolute Pharmacy and Strive, with street addresses and phone numbers
- You want no membership or subscription fee sitting under the medication price
- You want to read the price without an intake, a quiz or an account
Look elsewhere if
- You are paying month to month, which is $119 rather than the $109 in the headline
- You would use Kongo’s own comparison table to judge the market, when it names no company at all
- You want a lot number or a potency result, which neither named pharmacy publishes

Pricing, per compound
Everything Kongo sells, cheapest year first. “Advertised” is the price it leads with; “Walk-away” is what you pay if you stop after one cycle.
| Provider | Advertised | Walk-away | Year at this price |
|---|---|---|---|
Compounded semaglutide $119 a month month-to-month; $109 a month on the three-month plan. Both were read off the product page by clicking its term toggle — the page shows one figure at a time, so which one you see depends on which tab is selected. | $109.00/mo | $119.00/mo | $1,428.00 $119.00 × 12 months |
Compounded tirzepatide $229 a month, read from the comparison table, which holds the same figure in both toggle states. | $229.00/mo | $229.00/mo | $2,748.00 $229.00 × 12 months |
The year at this dose — 12 payments, or 13 where a seller bills every four weeks. Several charge more as you move to a higher dose; where they publish that, the row says so.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Its prices are published on the page without an intake, quiz or account, and the term toggle shows both the monthly and prepay figures.
- No membership or subscription fee, which removes the second bill that makes several companies here cost more than their headline.
- No FDA warning letter.
- It names both dispensing pharmacies in its terms.
- It prints the compounding disclosure plainly.
- LegitScript certification is claimed for the platform and for both named pharmacies.
Cons
- "We start at $109" is the three-month prepay rate; month to month is $119, and the hero doesn’t say so.
- No separate prepay rate for tirzepatide could be reached, so its $229 is recorded in both columns.
- Three companies on this site charge less than Kongo does.
- Its "Kongo vs. the other guys" table prices the market at $299 a month for semaglutide.
- The comparison names no company, so nothing in the table can be checked against a source Kongo provides.
- No certificate of analysis, lot number or potency result is published for either named pharmacy.

How we verified this
What we checked
- Every price read off kongo.care — 2 products, checked one at a time
- The billing cycle taken from the company's own terms, not assumed from the price
- States, inclusions and cancellation terms read on the company's own pages
- Screened against the FDA's live warning-letter index
What to double-check before you buy
- Compounded semaglutide: The hero's "We start at $109" is the prepay rate, and the walk-away column carries the $119 a reader pays without committing.
- Compounded tirzepatide: Both columns carry $229 because no separate three-month tirzepatide rate could be isolated: the page's term toggle governs the selected treatment, and the tirzepatide selector doesn’t switch.
- Prices may change. Confirm before you buy.
Key terms
Show definitions
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the ongoing rate with no commitment — what you actually pay if you stop after month one.
- Year at this price
- The walk-away price multiplied by however many times a year it's actually billed. It's the year at this dose only — several sellers charge more as you move up, and most don't publish the ladder.
- Compounded
- Made to order by a pharmacy from raw ingredients, rather than dispensed as an FDA-approved, mass-manufactured product.
Bottom line
Budget $119 a month for semaglutide, or $109 if you commit to three, and $229 for tirzepatide — the $109 hero figure is the prepay rate and the page does not say so. Neither named pharmacy publishes a certificate of analysis, a lot number or a potency result, so the disclosure stops at who compounds the drug.
Visit KongoFrequently asked questions
What does Kongo actually cost?
Compounded semaglutide is $119 a month if you pay month to month, or $109 a month if you prepay three months. Compounded tirzepatide is $229 a month. Sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione are each $115 a month. There’s no membership fee, and the price is stated to include the provider review, supplies and shipping.
Is it true that other providers charge $299 a month?
Not as a rule. Kongo's table sets its $119 against "THEM $299/mo" without naming anyone, so we tested it against the only source we control: the 51 compounded-semaglutide walk-away prices checked ourselves on this site. The median is $209 and only eleven of the 51 are at or above $299. Companies charging $299 certainly exist — that’s why the number isn’t invented — but it sits near the expensive end rather than in the middle, and three providers here charge less than Kongo does.
Which pharmacy fills a Kongo prescription?
Two, and it says so in writing. Section XXIX of its terms names Absolute Pharmacy (Absolute RX) at 16011 N. Nebraska Ave., Suite 103, Lutz, FL 33549, and Strive Pharmacy at 1275 E Baseline Rd, #104, Gilbert, AZ 85233, both described as LegitScript-certified, both with phone numbers. This is the most specific dispensing disclosure of any company on this site, and it’s what lets a reader check the pharmacy rather than take the platform's word for it.
Why does the price change when you click the tab?
Because the card shows one term at a time. "1 month" gives $119 and "3 months" gives $109, and only the selected figure is in the page. We read both by clicking each state in a browser. It’s worth saying that our first pass got this wrong: a scrape returned $109 from the card and $119 from the comparison table and looked like Kongo contradicting itself on one page, when it was one page in two states. The error was ours.
