Frequently Asked Questions

Kongo is actually priced below the $179 category median (each program's lowest listed ongoing monthly price) at $109/mo, so readers switching away from it are usually leaving for reasons other than cost — see below. The most common reasons readers cite for looking elsewhere, per our Kongo review: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) and are not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro; The compounding pharmacy is described only as a 'licensed US pharmacy' and not named. The picks above were selected on overall score, value, and experience — one may fit your situation better.
Yes — switching telehealth providers is common and low-risk as long as the new provider is reputable and a licensed clinician oversees your care. You'll complete a quick intake, and the clinician reviews your history and current dose before continuing treatment. Never stop or change your dose on your own; let the prescribing clinician guide any transition.
Kongo's headline price is $109/mo. We only show a saving where an alternative lists the same medication at a standing price with no prepay or separate membership, compared over a year — the rows marked "Save $X/yr". Others differ in medication or plan terms, or include extras like coaching or brand-name options, so compare on total value, not just the headline price.
In most cases you start fresh with the new provider rather than transferring a compounded prescription directly — the new clinician writes a new prescription after reviewing your history. Keep a record of your current medication, dose, and pharmacy; it makes the new intake faster and helps the clinician continue you at the right dose.
You'll complete a new online intake with any alternative, since each provider's clinicians need to evaluate you directly. Some providers ask for recent labs; many compounded-GLP-1 programs don't require new bloodwork to start. If you have recent results, having them handy can speed up approval.
