How it works

Look it up

Find your treatment. See the real range, not a blog's "it depends".

Check your quote

Compare what you've been quoted against what people actually paid.

Add your bill

Thirty seconds, fully anonymous. Every price you share makes the next person harder to overcharge.

“The same crown that costs a fixed NHS band charge can run into four figures privately. The prices exist. Now you can see both.”
