How we write these pages
A comparison written by one of the two vendors deserves some suspicion. These are the rules we hold ourselves to, so you can judge the result.
Public sources only
Every competitor fact comes from the vendor’s own website, and each page lists the links we used.
Dated and rechecked
Each comparison shows the day we checked it. Prices move, so we tell you to confirm on the vendor’s page before you buy.
Their strengths, in writing
Every page has a section on where the other product is stronger, and which kinds of business should pick it.
Written for Tanzania
We compare what matters at a Tanzanian counter: shilling pricing, M-Pesa and Tigo Pesa at the till, madeni, branches and local support.
