help GoodRx FAQ

Is GoodRx an online pharmacy or just a coupon service?

GoodRx is mainly a prescription price comparison and coupon service, not a pharmacy in the traditional sense. It shows discount prices that can be used at participating pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Rite Aid.

Can GoodRx be cheaper than using insurance?

Sometimes, yes: a GoodRx coupon price can be lower than an insurance copay for certain generic medications. The tradeoff is that purchases made with a coupon usually do not count toward an insurance deductible.

Does GoodRx work for controlled substances?

GoodRx may list prices for some controlled substances, but the pharmacy decides whether a coupon can be used and must follow federal and state rules. The prescription still has to come from a licensed clinician.

What is GoodRx Gold?

GoodRx Gold is the paid membership version of GoodRx, offering separate discounted prices at participating pharmacies. It is different from the free coupon lookup that many people use without a subscription.
