    It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.

    • Knowing that many people, on some of these medicines, are elderly and would appreciate saving a couple of dollars, it would be nice to have a way to use GoodRX without a computer or phone.
    • Submit/request button. If someone's medicine isn't included in the program, it may be helpful to have a way to monitor demand.
    • A tool to help you measure how much you save each year would be neat to see.

    Any support I've ever had to get from them was quick and professional. Their online guides/help docs are also easy to read.

    I have always used Guidestar as my go-to not only when I was a non-profit executive and wanted to ensure we remained worthy of their rating but also now as a non-profit consultant where I need to understand my current and potential partners across financials, key contacts, board members, etc.

    I haven't ever heard of competitors of GoodRx, and I've never had a reason to look anywhere else. I've always had a good experience with GoodRx, no issues or questions from the pharmacies at all! Very convenient and it's nice to have a quick way to save a bit of money.
