What past readers said

Used to assume the cash price at my pharmacy was just how it works. The PMI made the surcharge legible. I now know what to ask about.

Daniel . Austin, TX

Best monthly email in my inbox. No fluff. One number per molecule. I forward it to my partner every first of the month.

Priya . Brooklyn, NY

I cover pharma policy and use the index as a sanity check on industry briefings. Independent and consistent.

Frequently asked
How often will I get an email?
Once a month, on the first of the month. That is the entire cadence. Occasional one-off editions, like a Bitcoin-denominated quarterly, are sent separately and are clearly labelled.
Can I unsubscribe?
Yes, one click in the footer of any email. We honour unsubscribes immediately and we do not attempt to re-add unsubscribers from any other list.
Do you sell my data?
No. We never sell, rent, or share subscriber lists. We do not run paid sponsorships and we do not place subscriber data in any ad network. Our email service provider is a standard SaaS vendor under a data processing agreement.
What data do you collect?
Email address. Optionally, which molecule referred you, if you arrived from a tagged link. That is it. We do not require a name, location, or phone number.
Do I need to be a US resident?
No. We track US private-pay vs international generic equivalents, but readers anywhere are welcome.
Is this medical advice?
No. We publish price observations for research and journalism. We do not recommend medication, dose, or pharmacy. Speak to a licensed clinician for medical decisions and qualified counsel for legal questions about importation.
Are you funded by a pharmacy or pharma company?
No. We accept no advertising, no affiliate commissions, and no pharmaceutical or PBM funding. The project is editorially independent. Our independence statement appears at the foot of every page.
How do I report an error in your data?
Reply to any email. Errors are corrected on the next monthly republish, with a changelog entry. Prior months are archived without edit.

Publisher's note. Rx Price Tracker is funded by PHARMAX, one of the international pharmacies whose prices we publish on this page. PHARMAX does not control which molecules we cover, which competitors we include, or which corrections we issue. Every price observation links to its source URL and capture date. The data is reproducible. We track the gap because pricing transparency works in any direction.
