How to Cancel GoodRx Gold in 2026 (Free GoodRx Works Fine)

Updated February 2026 · 4 min read

GoodRx Gold costs $9.99/month ($119.88/year) and promises "even lower prices" on prescriptions. The truth? For most medications, the free GoodRx app gives discounts within $1-5 of the Gold price. Unless you take multiple expensive brand-name medications, Gold is a waste of money.

How to Cancel GoodRx Gold Online

1. Go to goodrx.com/gold/account
2. Sign in to your account
3. Click Gold Membership
4. Click Cancel Membership
5. Confirm — you keep Gold benefits until the end of your billing period

That's it. GoodRx makes cancellation refreshingly simple compared to most subscriptions.

Cancel via App Store (If Subscribed There)

• iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → GoodRx Gold → Cancel
• Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → GoodRx Gold → Cancel

GoodRx Gold vs. Free GoodRx: The Real Comparison

Here's what Gold actually saves on common medications:

• Generic medications (most common): Free GoodRx price is usually $4-15. Gold price is $3-12. Savings: $1-3 per prescription
• Mid-tier generics: Free price ~$20-40. Gold price ~$15-35. Savings: $5-10
• Brand-name drugs: This is where Gold sometimes shines — savings can be $20-50+

The math: If Gold saves you $5/month on prescriptions but costs $9.99/month, you'relosing $5/month. You only come out ahead if you save more than $10/month in prescription costs, which requires multiple expensive medications.

After Cancelling: Keep Saving on Prescriptions

• Free GoodRx: Still works, still saves 50-80% on most generics
• Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban): Transparent pricing, often cheapest for generics
• RxSaver: Free comparison tool, sometimes finds lower prices than GoodRx
• Costco pharmacy: You don't need a membership to use Costco pharmacy (legally required in most states)
• Amazon Pharmacy: Prime members get extra discounts, but prices are competitive even without Prime
• Manufacturer coupons: For brand-name drugs, check the manufacturer's website for copay assistance programs

When GoodRx Gold IS Worth It

Gold makes financial sense if: (1) you take 3+ medications monthly, (2) at least one is a mid-to-high cost generic or brand-name, and (3) your total Gold savings exceed $10/month. The family plan ($19.99/month for up to 5 members) can be worth it if multiple family members take regular medications.
