GoodRx

+Integrated drug price comparison — find cheapest pharmacy instantly
+Massive existing user trust from discount platform
+Per-visit care from $39–70 with no membership, or $19 a visit with the $14.99/mo Companion membership
−Publishes editorial explaining the $50 Medicare GLP-1 Bridge copay but never surfaces it in the buying funnel, so an eligible beneficiary can pay several times more through the cash-pay programme with no prompt
−Primarily a discount-card and price-comparison business; the telehealth arm is a separate cash-pay line, GoodRx Care Direct, with care delivered by an affiliated medical group and a staffing partner rather than by GoodRx
−Telehealth secondary to core discount business
