Who Kongo may suit

Semaglutide-first shoppers who want a low verified all-50 price and don't mind paying mid-market for tirzepatide.

Where the value is

  • Low $119 semaglutide with nationwide all-50 access and both molecules disclosed
  • LegitScript-certified — verified oversight at a budget semaglutide price
  • Flat published pricing that's easy to model for a year

The tradeoffs

  • $229 tirzepatide is mid-market — weaker value if tirzepatide is your molecule
  • Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route

What Kongo charges

Kongo sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections, and the price doesn't depend on your dose. You can pay month to month or buy three months upfront for a lower monthly rate.

PlanSemaglutideTirzepatide
Month to month$119/mo$229/mo
3 months, billed once$109/mo ($327)$215/mo ($645)

Kongo also runs a first-month discount with a promo code, which brings the opening month well below the regular rate. It's framed as a short-lived offer, so treat the regular price as what you'll actually pay from month two.

There's no membership fee and no insurance billing. Kongo says the price already covers the provider's review, the prescription, free shipping and every injection supply.

Considering Kongo?

Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.

From intake to your door

The intake is a short online form with no video call. Kongo says it takes under four minutes. A licensed U.S. provider reviews it, usually within 24 hours, though some states require a brief phone call before a prescription can be written. The form tells you if yours is one of them.

Once you're approved, the prescription goes to a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Kongo doesn't name the pharmacy, so ask if it matters to you. Most orders arrive five to seven business days after approval. The box holds your medication, syringes, alcohol wipes and step-by-step injection instructions, and it ships in plain packaging with nothing on the outside about Kongo or what's inside.

Kongo names its clinical lead, Dr. Laurie J. Mercier, a board-certified family physician, and says it holds LegitScript certification. Treatment is open to adults 18 and over in all 50 states.

The 30-day guarantee and the fine print

Kongo's treatment pages advertise a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first order, described as a full refund. Its terms of use are stricter. They say medical consultation fees are never refundable, prescription products can't be returned, and all sales are final. If the guarantee is part of why you're signing up, ask support in writing how a refund would work before you place the order.

If you think the pharmacy filled your prescription wrong, message Kongo through your account.

Pausing and canceling

There's no long-term contract on the monthly plan. You can pause or cancel at any time, and pausing is handled by messaging the clinical team in your Patient Portal. The three-month plan is paid upfront, so check what happens to unshipped months before you choose it.

Kongo's providers can adjust your dose or suggest another option if the first one isn't working. The same account sells NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione injections too.

Things to check first

  • Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound aren't offered, and there's no pill or drop form.
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.
  • Note the regular monthly price, not the promo figure, when you budget for a year.
