How RxPriceCrawler Works

Our Mission

Americans overpay for prescription drugs by 50-80% because pricing is opaque and varies wildly between pharmacies. The same drug can cost 10x more at one pharmacy compared to another just down the street. RxPriceCrawler exists to make this pricing transparent.

Data Sources

We check pricing from 10 pharmacy sources including retail chains, online pharmacies, and mail-order services:

Methodology

• 01.We query each pharmacy source for the current cash price of each drug.
• 02.Prices are normalized to a standard 30-day supply for fair comparison.
• 03.We also check discount card pricing, which can reduce costs by 10-40%.
• 04.Results are sorted by price, with the cheapest option highlighted.
