GoodRx

Compares cash prices at pharmacies and offers coupons. It is a discount tool, not a clinician visit and not health insurance.

What you pay
Looking up a price and using a standard coupon is free. GoodRx Gold is an optional paid membership. Its current price is on GoodRx.
Speed
A coupon can be used at a participating pharmacy the same day. GoodRx does not, by itself, ship you a new prescription.
Best fit
You already have a prescription and want to compare cash prices before you pay.
Watch out
A coupon usually cannot be stacked with insurance on the same fill. Ask the pharmacist to price both and use the lower one.

Cash-pay telehealthNo commission

Ro

Cash-pay telehealth for specific conditions, including weight management, hair loss, and sexual health. A licensed clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.

What you pay
Ro does not publish one visit fee for every condition. Medication and membership prices appear in the signup flow before you pay.
Speed
If a prescription is written, medication is often shipped. Timing depends on the treatment and your state. A request can be declined.
Best fit
You want a cash-pay visit for a condition Ro treats, without billing insurance for that visit.
Watch out
This is not emergency care. Chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, or a mental-health crisis need local emergency services.

Cash-pay telehealthNo commission

Hims & Hers

Cash-pay telehealth sold under the Hims and Hers brands. Offerings include hair, skin, sexual health, mental health, and weight management, and the two brands are not identical.

What you pay
Prices depend on the product and are shown before checkout. There is no single consultation fee that covers every service.
Speed
Medication ships only if it is prescribed. Mental-health scheduling, where offered, follows that brand’s own calendar.
Best fit
You are comparing cash-pay brands and want a second option next to Ro.
Watch out
Read the specific product page. A visit through one brand does not mean every condition on the other brand is available to you.

Plan or employer visitNo commission

Teladoc Health

Virtual urgent care, primary care, and mental-health visits, most often through a health plan or an employer. That is a different model from cash-pay brands.

What you pay
What you pay is usually a copay set by your plan. If Teladoc offers a direct-pay visit, that fee is on their site for that visit type.
Speed
Availability depends on your benefit and the type of care. A prescription, when one is written, goes to a pharmacy you choose.
Best fit
Teladoc is already included in your insurance or workplace benefits.
