Provider Ranking Of Prescription Apps Is An Rx For Savings

Free stuff has an undeniable appeal, but saving is sweeter. As in deals. Discounts. Dollars off.

That’s what drives us here at PYMNTS’ Provider Ranking of Prescription Apps. We understand the innate need in modern humans to save money on prescriptions, the way Neolithic humans probably liked saving on powdered cave bear dung (or whatever they used for headaches).

Look, we’re not paleontologists or archaeologists. We do digital apps. Dig somewhere else.

But seeing as how you’re here already, dig these latest rankings. It’s riot of quiet.

The Top 5

Topping the charts at No. 1 for another month it’s GoodRx with a new subscription offer.

At No. 2 we have SingleCare – Rx Coupon doing its thing for savings.

Holding down the No. 3 position with seeming ease is RxSaver Prescription Discounts. You’ll recall that Rx Saver is being acquired by GoodRx in a $50 million deal.

Still solid at No. 4 is the familiar CVS Caremark app, keeping prices down.

We swing by the grocery store for No. 5 Publix Pharmacy, keeping its spot tight.

Now, onto the rest — and our only changeup for this ranking.

The Top 10

The Express Scripts climbs one chart position this month to take No. 6, which is a genuine accomplishment in a ranking that sees so little movement month-to-month.

One app’s gain is another’s drop, as is the case with OptumRx dropping to No. 7.

Doubt that will last, as that app likes it in the upper reaches of these rankings.

Happy at No. 8 for another cycle is the RxLocal app, with secure in-app messaging, auto-refills and all manner of cool features.

We forgot something at the grocery store, so we swing back to log Kroger Rx Savings Club at No. 9 which comes as no surprise as they held that rank last cycle. It’s good to be reliable.

Last but never least, No. 10 once again is the RefillRx app which does what its name implies, so well in fact that it’s charting consistently. That’s something to celebrate.

That’s PYMNTS’ latest Provider Ranking of Prescription Apps. If you enjoyed it half as much as we did … then we enjoyed it twice as much as you. Until next time, be well.
