PriceCheck is an online service that allows you to search various sites for the product you want to buy and compares prices. It said it wants to recognise “outstanding South African businesses and individuals in the e-commerce and technology spheres with its awards” through voting done by the very people who use the services, so you know you’re in good hands.
