๐พ Compare Pet Insurance
Finance
Vet bills for a sick or injured pet can run into tens of thousands of rands, and the cheapest premium is rarely the best cover. Pick the level of cover you want and what matters for your pet, and this tool compares South Africaโs main insurers (Oneplan, dotsure, MediPet, OUTsurance, Kido and Woolworths) on cover type, annual limits, waiting periods and excess. Because premiums are quoted per pet, it compares the cover that actually decides value, then links you to each insurer for a real quote, with no broker in between.

Compare South African Bank Fees
Banking
Every bank charges a fixed monthly fee plus a fee for almost everything else, so the cheapest bank genuinely depends on how you bank. Set your monthly habits, the cash you draw and deposit, your debit orders and your payments, and this tool ranks all seven main banks (Capitec, FNB, Absa, Nedbank, Standard Bank, TymeBank and Bank Zero) on what each would actually cost you. The fees come from the official 2026 pricing guides, and the rankings are sense checked against Solidarityโs independent report.

๐ฑ Compare Mobile Data Prices
Tech

๐ก Compare 5G & LTE Home Internet Deals
Tech
If fibre cannot reach your home, 5G and LTE fixed wireless is the next best thing, but the deals are hard to compare because some are sold by speed and some by a monthly data amount, and the router cost is often hidden. Choose unlimited or a set data amount and this tool ranks the cheapest plan across rain, Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Cool Ideas, Afrihost and Supersonic, showing the network behind each name, the contract, and the router cost. Prices checked 30 May 2026.

๐ Compare Home Fibre Deals
Tech
Fibre is sold in two layers, a network like Vumatel or Openserve owns the line to your home and a provider sells you a package over it, so the same speed costs a different amount on each network and the cheapest provider on one is not the cheapest on another. Pick your fibre network and the speed you want and this tool ranks the cheapest provider across Afrihost, MWEB, Webafrica, RSAWEB, Cool Ideas, RocketNet and Websquad, on the ongoing price you pay after any intro deal. It also includes Telkom Prepaid Fibre on Openserve, a no-contract option with no credit check for anyone who wants to skip the monthly debit order. Not sure of your network? An All networks view shows the cheapest deal on each one side by side. Prices checked 5 June 2026.

You can also add the upcoming visits to your phone calendar, with an offline reminder set for the morning before each one. Switch on the commonly recommended private extras, such as chickenpox, hepatitis A, flu and the meningococcal vaccines. And if your child has fallen behind, a second toggle checks which doses may be overdue for their age.

๐ PMB & Chronic Condition Checker
Health
Search for your condition, or browse common conditions by body system, and find out whether it is a Prescribed Minimum Benefit or one of the 26 Chronic Disease List conditions, and exactly what your medical scheme must pay for by law. Every scheme has to cover these in full, on every plan, paid from the risk pool and not your savings. There is also a checklist to spot when a scheme is short-changing you, and the steps to complain to the Council for Medical Schemes.
