The price of being South African

Same country.
Wildly different prices.

That bill deserves a second opinion. PriceCheck SA is building a place for anonymous receipts, everyday price comparisons and a little South African disbelief.

Early-stage project. Real stories, not a complaints wall.

The question behind every receipt

Is this price normal?

Our starting principles

Your identity stays out of the storyEvidence before outragePaid features clearly labelled

More context. Better conversations.

Less rant.
More receipt.

From the weekly shop to a repair quote, we're turning everyday spending into something worth comparing. Here’s what we’re building.

01 / The conversation starter

Is This Price Normal?
Share what you paid, where and when. The community weighs in—with context, not just a hot take.

Illustrative receipt · not a verified submission

One bottle of waterR85

Venue, bottle size and service matter. So does the price.

02

Who’s Cheaper?

Compare like with like: the same product, a similar job, a different quote. Location and dates help explain the gap.

03

Receipt of the Week

A closer look at a bill that made someone stop and stare. Funny, frustrating or surprising—with the evidence attached.

04

The People’s Verdict

A space for community perspectives on value, portion sizes and “specials”. An opinion is an opinion, not a verified finding.

Your receipt. A bigger conversation.

Show us what
you’re paying.

Our launch goal: 100 submissions in 30 days. We’re preparing the submission channel; it isn’t open on this site yet. In the meantime, get your story ready.

Start with the evidence

A receipt. A screenshot. A fair comparison.

Get the submission checklist
  1. Keep the price, item, date and general location visible.
  2. Remove names, contact details, payment information and receipt codes before sharing.
  3. Explain what happened in your own words. Separate facts from opinions.
  4. For comparisons, include size, scope of work and any extra charges.

Keep your original evidence privately. Nothing is uploaded or collected through this checklist.
