MediSaathi is India's leading free medicine price comparison platform that compares real-time prices across 7 major digital pharmacies — PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx. Users can instantly compare over 12,000+ branded and generic medicines in a single dashboard, identify cheaper generic alternatives with the exact same active salt composition (saving up to 80%), and upload handwritten prescriptions via OCR for automatic cross-platform price comparison — making affordable healthcare accessible to everyone.

MediSaathi stands apart from single-pharmacy apps because it aggregates real-time prices from 7 major Indian digital pharmacies — PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx — into one unified dashboard. Every listed medicine is mapped to its active salt composition using CDSCO’s drug database, so users can instantly discover bioequivalent generic alternatives that cost 50–80% less than premium brands. The platform also features AI-powered OCR that reads handwritten prescriptions from a photo, automatically identifying each medicine and comparing prices across all platforms without manual typing. An AI assistant answers natural-language questions like “What’s the cheapest Paracetamol?” with real-time price data. All price data is refreshed daily via automated pipelines and cross-referenced against NPPA ceiling-price lists.

MediSaathi aggregates publicly listed prices from PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx via automated data pipelines. Prices are refreshed daily. Salt composition mappings are cross-referenced against the CDSCO drug database and NPPA ceiling-price lists. Generic equivalence is based on identical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and bioequivalence standards set by India's regulatory framework. MediSaathi does not verify clinical outcomes — always consult your doctor.

Salt composition refers to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in a medicine. For example, Paracetamol is the salt in brands like Dolo 650 and Crocin — both provide the exact same therapeutic effect at different price points. MediSaathi maps every brand in its database to the underlying salt, enabling users to compare all brands containing the same API side by side. This salt-based comparison is the most reliable way to find cheaper alternatives, because generic medicines with the same salt at the same strength are bioequivalent by CDSCO standards. The platform currently indexes all unique salt compositions from PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx.
