Let me tell you, having saved $thousands from GoodRx’s exposure of pharma’s underbelly, and the actual first-time competition that it fosters, I can forgive them for this underhand revenue stream.
Just yesterday $60.25, Walgreen’s, returned —> $7.20, Safeway, GoodRx e-coupon.
My wife is finally a believer, and it paid for more than half of a $100 birthday gift for a poor cousin 1500mi away.

Unless that practice underlies its business model, which I doubt, GoodRx is, on balance, a GOOD actor. It seems that the business model is sales lead generation, and they have been able to force it’s use by major pharmacies over time.
