GoodRx Settlement: How to Claim With No Notice and No Proof

You probably qualify, and that is not a sales pitch

Most settlement notices describe a narrow group: people who bought a specific product in a specific window, people whose records sat in one breached system. This one is different. The class the court approved covers every person in the United States who used any website, app or service made available by or through GoodRx at any time before April 20, 2024.

Read that again, because the wording does a lot of work. Not customers. Not subscribers. Users. If you opened GoodRx once in 2019 and looked at a price, you used the website, and the class definition has you. The notice puts no number on how many people that is, and given how long GoodRx has been running, the honest answer is that it is very large.

It also reaches further than the site most people picture. The notice names GoodRx Gold, HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care alongside the main website and app.

What the case is actually about

The allegation is that GoodRx built third-party advertising trackers into its own website and app — pixels, software development kits, cookies — and that those trackers passed information about how people used the service to Criteo, Meta and Google.

GoodRx and Criteo deny breaking any law. They are paying $32,000,000 to end the case rather than keep litigating it. The Federal Trade Commission had already brought its own action over the same conduct in February 2023.

Nobody is going to email you

Here is the practical problem with a class this broad: the administrator does not have everyone's address. It cannot. Browsing the site never required an account, so for a large share of the class there is simply no contact record to send a notice to.

So there is a second claim route for people nobody reached. If you have no notice, no claim ID and no email, that is not a sign you were left out. There is no notice requirement here at all.

There is nothing to upload

No receipts. No statements. No screenshots. You confirm that you were in the United States and used GoodRx before April 20, 2024, and the administrator checks the claim against its own records.

That is genuinely unusual, and it is why this one is worth five minutes. It is also a reason to be careful: a claim form is a statement you are standing behind, so file only if it is true of you.

What it pays

GoodRx and Criteo are putting up $32,000,000. That is the whole settlement, and it is the only number the court papers commit to.

The fund pays the costs of the case first — class counsel's fees and expenses, service awards for the named plaintiffs, taxes, and the considerable cost of notifying a class this size. Whatever remains is divided in equal shares among approved claims. Everyone who qualifies gets the same amount, so the per-person figure depends entirely on how many people file.

Our estimate is $10 to $40. Roughly $20 million should survive the deductions, which works out near $40 a claim if about 500,000 people file and nearer $10 if about two million do. Fewer claims would mean bigger shares. The administrator declines to estimate at all — Question 12 of the notice says the amount is not known precisely — so treat our range, and anyone else's, as arithmetic rather than a promise.

The part almost everyone will miss

GoodRx and Criteo are settling. Meta and Google are not.

The notice calls them the Remaining Defendants and says the plaintiffs continue to pursue their claims against them. Filing this claim releases GoodRx and Criteo, and leaves the litigation against the other two running. If you have seen this described as the settlement that resolves the whole GoodRx data story, that description is wrong.

Two dates, and the earlier one is ours

The legal deadline is December 29, 2026 — 11:59 p.m. Eastern for an online form, postmarked by that date if you mail one. The same date ends your window to opt out or object.

Class Action Buddy stops accepting this claim on December 22. We file it on paper: the app fills the form in from your profile, you sign it on screen, and we print it and post it to the administrator. That week of margin is the printing and the mail. File with us up to December 22, and after that go straight to the administrator's own form.

Either way, nothing gets paid for a while. Final approval is set for February 11, 2027, and the notice warns that appeals afterwards can take a year or more. File it, then forget about it.
