What is better than GoodRx?


Editorial team Published on

Other prescription discount apps and direct-to-consumer services can be better than GoodRx depending on the specific medication you need, whether you have insurance, and if you prefer home delivery or local pickup.

Alternative Discount Cards & Apps

  • SingleCare: Often beats GoodRx on specific generic medications and offers free home delivery through select partner pharmacies for eligible prescriptions.
  • Optum Perks: Competes closely with GoodRx across more than 64,000 pharmacies and frequently undercuts competitor coupon pricing.
  • ScriptSave WellRx: Provides comparable discount percentages and includes extra tools like pill tracking, refill reminders, and grocery nutrition data.

Direct-to-Consumer & Wholesale Alternatives

  • Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drug Company: Sells hundreds of generic medications at a flat 15% markup over wholesale cost plus a nominal dispensing fee, frequently beating standard discount coupon prices for chronic generics.
  • Amazon Pharmacy / RxPass: Prime members can cover entire selections of eligible generic maintenance medications for a flat monthly add-on fee with direct delivery.
  • Costco Pharmacy: Membership is not always required to use their pharmacy counter in many states, and their standard cash prices are regularly lower than retail chain prices with coupons.
