GoodRx vs manufacturer coupon - real numbers
For me the manufacturer coupon beat GoodRx by a wide margin at the pharmacy counter in Vegas, like cash price was nowhere close even with the GoodRx discount. Worth calling your pharmacy and asking them to run both numbers before you commit.
For me the manufacturer card beat GoodRx by a wide margin at the pharmacy counter, though it flipped depending on which chain I used. Worth calling two or three pharmacies and pricing both before you commit. Down 12 lbs since starting, so whatever route I picked at least didn't break the bank.
My situation is different since I'm on a research peptide with no coupon route at all, so cash is just cash. Down 13 lbs on it though. For my spouse's script the manufacturer card won every time we priced it, and the variation between pharmacies two blocks apart was wild.

The manufacturer coupon beat GoodRx for me by a good margin, especially now that my pharmacy finally has stock again.

I'm on the pill version so the coupons work differently, but calling around made a huge difference for me here in Cleveland. One chain quoted me way more than the one a mile away for the exact same refill. Worth a few phone calls before you settle.

Manufacturer coupon beat GoodRx for me by a good margin at the pharmacy counter, worth calling ahead and pricing both. The savings matter more when the appetite drops off and you're buying way less food anyway, which is part of how I've shaved off 10 lbs so far. Cheapest legit route for me was just asking the pharmacist to run both codes.
GoodRx was way higher than the coupon when I priced my last refill, like double. Down 35 lbs since starting, so I'll eat the extra phone calls to pharmacies if it keeps the cost down. Prices seem to shift monthly so I recheck before every fill.
Same story here with Zepbound in Lexington - the coupon card won by a lot at my Walgreens, but calling the CVS two exits over saved me another chunk on top of that. Down 7 lbs so far, so I'll keep price hunting every refill.
Manufacturer coupon won for me on Zepbound here in Charlotte too, but I got an even better cash price once I called around to the smaller independent pharmacy near me instead of the big chains. Down 43 lbs so the price hunting paid off. I also time my meals around shot day since appetite dips hard the first couple days.
Independent pharmacy was the winner for me too. My local one beat both GoodRx and the coupon by a wide margin when I asked them to price it out, way better than the chain I used first. Since I'm down 35 lbs and plan to stay on this long term, that monthly difference adds up fast.
Manufacturer coupon wins for me too, almost every fill. Cash price dropped 20 lbs worth of food budget anyway, so the coupon keeps the whole thing sustainable. Rechecking prices each month like poster one said has saved me a couple hundred bucks this year.
