GoodRx Alternatives: Best Ways to Save on Prescriptions — Dec 2024

Prescription prices still surprise people: the same medication can cost hundreds more at one pharmacy than another. In December 2024 we reviewed ten real alternatives to GoodRx that can cut costs, speed delivery, or help when insurance won’t cover your meds. Below’s a practical summary so you can find the fastest way to save.

Top alternatives worth checking

SingleCare — Works like a coupon card. Often low prices on generics at major chains. No membership fee; compare prices before you buy.

Blink Health — Lets you buy a prescription at a set price and pick it up or get it delivered. Good when you want predictable costs, though delivery times vary.

RxSaver — Searchable tool with discounts at big pharmacies. Simple to use and frequently shows different prices across retailers so you can pick the best local deal.

WellRx (ScriptSave WellRx) — Another coupon-style option with savings and printable coupons. It’s handy for quick price checks and local pickup comparisons.

Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban) — Transparent pricing and low-cost generics shipped to your door. Best for long-term meds where you can wait for delivery.

Amazon Pharmacy & PillPack — Useful if you already shop with Amazon. They offer competitive prices, auto-refill options, and home delivery, which helps if you need convenience.

Manufacturer Coupons & Patient Assistance Programs — For brand-name drugs, manufacturers may offer free or discounted programs if you qualify. These can be the cheapest route for expensive specialty meds.

Local pharmacy discount cards & community clinics — Some independent pharmacies or clinics run discount programs or sliding-fee services that beat big chains for certain meds.

International and licensed Canadian pharmacies — Can be cheaper for some drugs. Use licensed services and check shipping rules; not every medication is safe to import.

How to pick the best option and actually save

Compare prices across at least three options before you buy—coupon sites can vary widely. Watch for membership fees or required prepayment that erase savings. Use generics when possible; ask your prescriber if a generic or a therapeutic equivalent exists. For long-term prescriptions, 90-day supplies from mail-order or discount programs usually lower the per-pill cost. Combine strategies: use a discount coupon, switch to a generic, and ask for mail delivery when it’s sensible.

One quick rule: if a deal looks too good, read the fine print. Check shipping times, return policies, and whether the price applies only to cash pay or to insured transactions.
