Testimonials
What they say about us
Before using Drug Comparison, managing prices and stock was a real challenge. We had to open each supplier’s website one by one just to compare prices, which took ages, especially when doing bulk orders. On top of that, we kept separate spreadsheets to track excess stock and had to manually update and adjust them every time something changed. Checking Drug Tariff prices, concessions, and availability before every order was just another time-consuming task.
Since switching to Drug Comparison, it’s been a total game-changer. It literally does all the thinking and searching for you. The Bulk Ordering and Excess Stock features make ordering so much easier, and the built-in Drug Tariff and Stock Availability Tracker save us hours every week. The system even keeps track of current and previous month concessions, it’s brilliant.
We have saved so much time, energy, and money. I feel like I’ve got far more control over our purchasing and stock management now. The supplier comparison feature is amazing too, it shows the cheapest prices instantly, and that alone makes it worth it.
I’ve used quite a few different pharmacy software systems over the years, but this is by far the best one I’ve come across. Honestly, it’s a no-brainer for any independent pharmacy. Give it a try, I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed!

Drug Comparison has completely changed the efficiency with which we order our medicines.
It’s an excellent system that enables us to order from the cheapest available supplier, as well as helping us find stock that is hard to get on the market.
I could not recommend it enough! It is a revolutionary platform in the pharmacy industry.

A game-changer for pharmacy operations. This drug comparison software doesn’t just save time and money, it transforms the way we work.
The real standout is the suite of extra features: the intuitive returns management screen, the sleek new DC app, and the ability to reconcile orders with a scanner, all of which make daily tasks faster and smarter.
We’re especially excited about the upcoming invoice reconciliation feature, which promises to streamline operations even further. What’s more, the financial benefit is undeniable, doing the same job manually would be nearly impossible, requiring immense time and labour. By automating these processes, pharmacies save thousands in staffing costs and reclaim hours for patient care and strategic work.
A forward-thinking, innovative company delivering fast, reliable software that truly understands the needs of the sector. I highly recommend it.

Drug Comparison has truly been a game-changer for our pharmacy. It has transformed the way we manage stock, ensuring we always get the best prices from our wholesalers while maintaining full visibility of stock availability in real time.
The platform provides live updates on product availability, pricing, and supplier options, helping us make faster and more informed decisions. With the introduction of the Drug Comparison app, taking control of our medicine orders has never been easier. It has streamlined our entire purchasing process and improved efficiency across the team.
Drug Comparison has become an essential part of our daily workflow, saving us both time and money and giving us the confidence that we’re always buying smart.

Fantastic system. Speeds up our day and makes everything so much easier to see!
The reporting system is fantastic, and the support team is very responsive!

Denton Pharmacy
DC has completely changed our ordering systems. Our lead pharmacist himself spent hours on the phone, searching for the cheapest prices,
going back and forth between wholesalers. DC has now given him the time to concentrate on other areas of the business.
The feature giving us the option to optimise is brilliant, again saving us time and money.

It’s a good app that allows for strong margins with minimal effort.

Totley Pharmacy
I signed up with Drug Comparison when I bought my pharmacy two years ago, and it is a decision I’m so glad I made. After working in independents and seeing the daily struggle and time spent calling suppliers and comparing prices, I felt there had to be a better way, and Drug Comparison has been exactly that way:
- Easy-to-use portal
- All major suppliers included
- Integrates with PMR
- Transparent, simple, and highly competitive pricing (as a new owner, I did a lot of research on alternatives to make sure I wasn’t being short-changed!)
- Huge time savings, and time = money!
- Great features such as the excess stock panel, returns management pages, and profit/loss reports, all available at the click of a button
My team loves it just as much as I do, and it gives me peace of mind to let them handle ordering with minimal oversight from me. I would highly recommend Drug Comparison to anyone, and indeed, I already have to other independent pharmacy owners I know.

Fantastic system, literally the best system out there, and it’s game changing!

I like that Drug Comparison is clearly aimed at solving real problems for pharmacies, such as saving time, reducing ordering mistakes, and providing visibility into costs and stock. Their homepage explains that the tool helps avoid “wasting time checking prices across supplier websites or telephone orders”
and prevents “ordering lines above the Drug Tariff” or duplicate stock orders.
I also appreciate that the platform offers real time price comparisons across “all major wholesalers”. This makes it easier to pick the cheapest option quickly and to account for pack size optimizations or generic versus brand choices, which can help save money.
Additionally, I like that it integrates with existing PMR systems, supports barcode scanning via mobile, and is workflow-friendly, so pharmacies don’t have to overhaul their entire process just to use the tool.
