The Problems with Medfinder
Real issues reported by former Medfinder customers
"I just needed to check one pharmacy, but they forced me to pay $40 minimum. Needle lets me pay $1. That's insane savings!"
- Tom R., Single Medication User
"I spent $240 in one month searching for my family's medications. That's 4x more than Needle's subscription!"
- Sarah M., Former Medfinder User
"I ran out of searches mid-month and had to buy more. With my chronic condition, I need to search multiple times."
- David K., Diabetes Patient
"Each family member needs separate searches. We were spending over $300/month for three people."
- Jennifer R., Mother of 2
"Medfinder would take some times days to find my medications, Needle finds them in minutes."
- Michael T., Frustrated Customer
"As a provider, I need to manage multiple patients. Medfinder has no practice management - just expensive searches."
