Overview[edit | edit source]
GoodRx operates a website and mobile app that gathers and compares the prices of prescription medications from more than 70,000 pharmacies in the United States. The platform allows users to find the lowest price for their medication and provides coupons that can be used at the pharmacy to lower the cost.

Reception[edit | edit source]
GoodRx has been praised for helping consumers save money on prescription medications, but it has also faced criticism for issues related to data privacy and the transparency of its business practices.
