In 2011, our founders discovered a troubling reality: Americans were paying wildly different prices for the same prescription medications, often with no way to compare costs or find savings. Co-founder Doug Hirsch had spent decades in technology at companies like Yahoo, but when he needed a simple prescription for his family, he was shocked by the opaque pricing system. Pharmacy prices varied dramatically by location, and consumers had no tools to navigate this confusing landscape. This insight sparked the creation of GoodRx - a platform designed to bring transparency and affordability to prescription drug pricing.
What started as a simple price comparison tool has evolved into America's leading prescription savings platform. GoodRx now provides millions of Americans with access to free discounts, telemedicine services through GoodRx Care, and comprehensive healthcare information through GoodRx Health. The company has helped consumers save over $35 billion on medications since its founding, partnering with more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide. Beyond savings, GoodRx delivers doctor-reviewed health content, medication information, and virtual care options - all with a mission to build better ways for people to find the right care at the best price.
