GoodRx: Prescription Savings

GoodRx Review: Free Coupons Still Work, but the App Now Sells a Membership

Free coupons vs. the $14.99 Companion: where the free tier stops

Searching a drug, choosing the dose and quantity, and opening a pharmacy's coupon costs nothing. The coupon itself is a set of claim codes, BIN, PCN, Group and Member ID, that the pharmacist runs in place of your insurance, and the card on screen states that it is not insurance. That has consequences: according to the company's own Medicare guide, you choose either the coupon or your Part D plan for a given fill, and a coupon purchase does not count toward the deductible or out-of-pocket limit unless your plan agrees to credit it. Since July 2026, Play reviewers report that price lists open on Companion member prices, with the free coupon price one extra tap away for each pharmacy. Check current terms with GoodRx and your pharmacy before relying on any price.

Companion up close: 250+ free generics, $19 visits, $119.88 a year

Companion launched on May 27, 2026 at $14.99 a month. The launch release promised more than 200 common generics at no charge and hundreds more under $10; by the Family Plan launch on September 3 the free list had passed 250. Members also get $19 online visits through GoodRx Care, against $39 to $70 without a membership, plus negotiated rates on dental, vision, lab and imaging services. Paying yearly costs $119.88. The Family Plan is $24.99 a month, or $16.99 a month billed annually, and covers the primary member and up to four dependents, pets included, though only the primary member gets $19 visits. In 2026 Play reviews, several members say their drug was missing from the free list or rang up higher at the counter. Prices vary by region and can change.

What the privacy labels list, and the 90-day deletion window

Apple's privacy label lists purchase history, coarse location, browsing history and device identifiers as data used for third-party advertising. Google Play's Data safety form says name, email, phone number, location and in-app search history may be shared with other companies, while health information is optional; data is encrypted in transit. Under the retention schedule, a deletion request is completed within 90 days, advertising data is deleted within two years, and an inactive account is erased seven years after it goes dormant. Cookie Preferences, in the website footer, controls targeted-advertising cookies. On Android the app asks for precise location, camera and phone-status access. We describe these disclosures; we do not certify how the data is handled.

When the counter price differs: SingleCare, Cost Plus Drugs and RxPass

Price mismatches at the pharmacy are a recurring complaint in Play reviews from 2020 through September 2026, and the company keeps a help article for coupons accepted at the wrong price. Prices follow the most commonly filled manufacturer code, so a pharmacy stocking another may get a different price; a Patient Advocacy line can check before you pay. If a price fails, SingleCare is another free coupon service, valid at more than 35,000 pharmacies. Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs sells generics at its cost plus 15%, a pharmacy fee and shipping. Amazon's RxPass charges Prime members $5 a month for more than 50 generics, but excludes Medicaid enrollees and does not ship RxPass orders to California or Washington.
