As with the rankings of apps in other categories, this one assigns scores based on such factors as channel coverage, up-to-date downloads, monthly average users, sessions per user and average session length.
In this month’s edition, there’s just a tincture of change, with two contenders swapping positions in the rankings and all the others remaining where they were last time.
The Top 5
Once again ranked No. 1 is GoodRx. Like last time, this app has a perfect score of 100. That’s tough to beat!
The runner-up is 13 points behind, as SingleCare records a score of 87 and hangs onto the same position it had last time.
After another gap in the field — 17 points — there’s the third-ranked contender, CVS Caremark. This app maintains its position with a score of 70.
Just three points behind that is RxSaver. With a score of 67, this app retains the No. 4 position it had last month.
In this month’s first change in the rankings, Publix Pharmacy moves up one level with a score of 63.
The Top 10
That means there’s an app that had to step down, and that’s OptumRx. With a score of 60, it’s now ranked sixth.
There’s no movement at No. 7, as Express Scripts still holds this spot with a score of 58.
Eighth place, too, remains unchanged. RxLocal retains its position with a score of 50.
There’s another familiar name at No. 9, with ScriptSave hanging on with a score of 45.
Running tenth, as it did last time, is Kroger Rx Savings Club. With a score of 41, it closes out this month’s top 10 of the Provider Ranking of Prescription Apps.
