What’s the difference between dual and joint life cover?

Dual Cover is a double payout where two people are covered separately under one plan. Each person has their own coverage.
Joint Life is joint life first death, meaning the policy pays out when the first person dies, then cancels.
Most providers offer dual cover for the same monthly premium as joint life cover, so dual cover is generally advisable.
