Kongo Pricing and Reviews: What to Compare Before Choosing a GLP-1 Provider

What Kongo Publicly Lists

Kongo's homepage publishes two prices as of September 2026: compounded semaglutide at $119 per month and compounded tirzepatide at $229 per month, each shown on a 1-month plan with a 3-month supply option. A pricing summary on the site reads membership fee never, free shipping always, with supplies included. Kongo states that it serves all 50 states and that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Kongo describes its pharmacy only as a licensed US pharmacy and does not name it on the pages we read. The site carries a LegitScript certification seal for kongo.care. Its semaglutide FAQ answers the cancellation question with a yes, no long-term commitments, pause or cancel at any time, but it does not publish the steps, a notice period, or refund terms. Kongo's FAQ and terms pages are linked from the homepage.

How the Models Compare

Kongo's model is the simplest kind: one flat monthly price per medication, no membership, no prepaid tier. That means there is no discount for committing to a year, and also no trap in the fine print about a headline rate that only applies to a prepaid plan. What Kongo does not publish is the pharmacy name and the cancellation mechanics.

Ozari Health's structure adds a starter tier below its sustained rate: $86 per month for the first 3 months of semaglutide, then $145 per month quarterly or $175 month to month. GLP-1 Scorecard lists Ozari Health at $86/month, price rank 14 of 400 providers. Kongo's $119 sits between Ozari's starter and its quarterly rate for semaglutide; for tirzepatide, Kongo's $229 is close to Ozari's $235 month-to-month rate and above its $199 quarterly rate.

The 12-Month Math

Take Kongo's flat monthly prices as published as of September 2026.

• Semaglutide: $119 × 12 = $1,428
• Tirzepatide: $229 × 12 = $2,748

Kongo publishes no other tiers, so this is the whole calculation; still, verify current pricing directly with Kongo.

Ozari, year one, semaglutide: $257 for the 3-Month Starter, then $145 × 9. $257 + $1,305 = $1,562.

Ozari, year one, tirzepatide: $375 for the 3-Month Starter, then $199 × 9. $375 + $1,791 = $2,166.

On paper Kongo is $134 cheaper than Ozari's $1,562 for a year of semaglutide, with no prepaid commitment required. For tirzepatide, Kongo costs $582 more than Ozari's $2,166 over the same year.

How to Cancel Kongo

Kongo's FAQ says you can pause or cancel at any time with no long-term commitment, but it does not publish the steps, a notice window, or what happens to an order already in processing. Contact Kongo through your patient account or its support channel in writing before your next billing date, and keep the confirmation. Ozari's cancellation terms are published on its refund policy page: https://www.ozarihealth.com/refund-policy

A note from Johanna Galyen, APRN, FNP: Kongo includes injection supplies in its price, which is convenient and also a question worth asking: which needle gauge and length ship with the vial, and how many per month. A 28-day supply at once-weekly dosing needs four syringes plus a spare for a bad draw. If the kit ships short, patients reuse needles, and that is where injection-site infections start.
