We are not paid by suppliers, manufacturers, or distributors. We work only for the buyer.
For national medical supply agencies & ministries of health
Independent price benchmarks for medicine procurement. Know whether a tender award was a fair price.
StreamRX compares awarded unit prices against published international reference prices, item by item. Start with a complimentary benchmark of 10 to 20 items from a recent tender.

— Why an independent benchmark
A second opinion on prices, before the next tender
Procurement teams are asked to prove value for money. A clear, item-level comparison makes that easier to show.
02
Reference-based
Every item is compared against published international reference prices, with sources cited.
03
Like for like
We match dosage form, strength, and pack size, and convert to a common unit and currency.
04
Confidential
Your award data is used only for your benchmark and is never shared or published.
