*Our estimate from Kona's per-10g figure and its stated ~600mg fill. Per-capsule figures are our arithmetic from listed prices and counts. Sources: Super Speciosa capsules, Happy Hippo capsules, Golden Monk capsules, Kona Red Indo, Kats capsules, Kraken capsules, Left Coast capsules.
Price per capsule only means something alongside fill weight. A cheaper capsule with less powder may cost more per gram.
Kats's standard leaf capsules hold 600mg each and run $25.99-$59.99 by size, with bulk bottles from $225. Strains include green, white and red Maeng Da, White Elephant and Wild Red Bali. The bottle's QR code links to the lot's lab results on the COA page, and the 30-day guarantee includes a free return label. Kats also sells 45% extract softgels, which are not leaf capsules.
Kats Botanicals review · Visit Kats Botanicals
Golden Monk sells capsules in 250, 500 and 1,000 counts, starting at $60.99 for 250. There is a separate COA PDF for each capsule line and count, for example "White Capsules 1000CT," on its COA page. There's no small bottle for trying a strain.
Golden Monk review · Visit Golden Monk
Happy Hippo's 100-count bottles cost $19.98-$21.99 across 11 strains, with a 300-count Red Horn at $54.99. The 60-day refund policy replaces opened products. We could not verify its COA page contents.
Happy Hippo review · Visit Happy Hippo
Capsules start at $13.95 (Bali), and every order ships free by USPS First Class. COAs are by request only, and refunds apply only to unopened packages (policy). Kraken also sells "enhanced" tea capsules, which this page does not cover.
Kraken Kratom review · Visit Kraken Kratom
At about 9 cents each with a subscription, Super Speciosa's 1,000-count deal was the cheapest per capsule we found. Its 60-count bottles ($16) are a low-cost way to try a strain, and every batch can be looked up with named labs on its lab lookup. It ranks here rather than higher because it wasn't on the AKA's current GMP list.
Super Speciosa review · Visit Super Speciosa
Kona sells 350, 700 and 1,500-count bags with about 600mg per capsule, a 30-day money-back guarantee and free shipping over $29.99. No public COAs found.
Kona Kratom review · Visit Kona Kratom
Capsules from $12.99 with tiered free shipping from $49. No public COAs found and refunds on unopened products only.
Left Coast Kratom review · Visit Left Coast Kratom
MIT45 sells extract capsules, not leaf capsules. Extract capsules concentrate alkaloids, so they can't be compared with leaf capsules on price per capsule. Its published COAs are thorough if extracts are what you're looking for.
| Vendor | Refund window | Opened capsules | Free shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kats Botanicals | 30 days | Satisfaction guarantee, prepaid label | Over $100 |
| Golden Monk | 30 days | Refund if 85%+ left | $99+ |
| Happy Hippo | 60 days | Replacement | $99+ |
| Kraken Kratom | 30 days | No refund | All orders |
| Super Speciosa | 30 days | Not stated | $100+ |
| Kona Kratom | 30 days | Refund if 80%+ returned | Over $29.99 |
| Left Coast Kratom | 30 days | No refund | $49+ |
Capsules are hard to "sample" once a bottle is open, so a policy that covers opened products matters more for capsules than for a sealed powder bag you haven't touched. Details are in each vendor's review.
The FDA has not approved kratom in any form for medical use and warns consumers not to use it. Kratom is banned in several states and some cities (state guide), and most of these vendors state they sell only to adults 21+. For our overall rankings, see best kratom vendors.
FAQ
Kats Botanicals ranks first overall on our method and sells 600mg leaf capsules with lot-number lab lookup. For the lowest price per capsule, Super Speciosa's 1,000-count subscription works out to about 9 cents each; for a small first order, Happy Hippo's 100-count bottle is about 20 cents each.
It varies by vendor. Kats Botanicals and Kona Kratom list about 600mg per capsule, and Happy Hippo describes roughly 500-600mg. Check the label, since capsule counts are not comparable without the fill weight.
No. Leaf capsules contain ground leaf powder. Extract capsules contain concentrated extract and can carry much more alkaloid per capsule. This page covers leaf capsules only.
