How PlainAid works

Simpler than anything else out there

We read the benefit guides so you don't have to — then present the information in plain English, side by side.

1

We load the data

Our team uploads and reads the official 2026 benefit PDFs for every major scheme. You never need to upload anything.

2

You browse & compare

Filter by scheme, cover type, or benefit. Add up to 3 plans to the compare bar and see them side by side instantly.

3

Get expert advice free

Not sure which plan fits you? Request a free broker callback — no commission, no pressure, just honest guidance.

4

Make an informed decision

Go into your next medical aid decision knowing exactly what you're paying for. No surprises in January.

Why PlainAid

Better than the alternatives

Most comparison sites are just lead-generation tools dressed up as advice. We built something different.

📋

We read the PDFs for you

No more scrolling through 80-page benefit guides. We extract what matters and display it clearly.

⚖️

Independent & unbiased

We don't earn commission from any scheme. Our job is to inform you, not to sell to you.

🇿🇦

Built for South Africans

PMBs, CDLs, MSAs, co-payments — we explain every SA-specific term in plain language.

🔄

Updated every year

When schemes release their new benefit guides, we update PlainAid. Always 2026 data.
