ONDC vs. Swiggy and Zomato: The Battle for Cheaper and More Convenient Food Delivery

• ByStartupStory     |    May 8, 2023

The Indian government-owned Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) has emerged as a strong competitor for established food delivery apps like Swiggy and Zomato. Launched in September 2022, ONDC offers customers the convenience of buying a range of products and services, including food, clothes, movie tickets, cabs, and groceries, all in one app.

Lower commission rates:
ONDC charges only a 2-4% commission compared to Swiggy and Zomato’s 25-30% commission from restaurants on every order. This allows restaurants to offer better prices to customers, making ONDC the cheaper option.

Price Comparison: ONDC vs. Swiggy and Zomato
ONDC’s lower commission rates are reflected in its prices, making it the more affordable and better value for money option. For example, a plate of Murgh Afghani Tikka Biryani costs only ₹343 on ONDC, compared to ₹398 on Swiggy and Zomato. Similarly, a MC Chicken Burger costs only ₹109.4 on ONDC, compared to ₹282.5 on Swiggy and Zomato.

Partner apps and availability:
ONDC’s food ordering service is available through several partner apps, including Paytm, magicpin, Mystore, Pincode, Spice Money, Meesho, Craftvilla, and Pincode. While the food ordering service is currently available in cities like Bangalore and Delhi, there are plans to expand to other cities in the future.

How to use ONDC for food ordering:
To use ONDC for food ordering, customers can access any of its partner apps and search for ONDC. The platform is an aggregator of products and services, including food, clothing, groceries, electronics, and more. Customers can take advantage of ONDC’s current promotion by using the promo code ONDC50 to receive an instant ₹50 discount on their order.

Conclusion:

ONDC’s cheaper and more convenient food delivery options have made it a strong competitor for Swiggy and Zomato. With ONDC offering better prices for customers, it remains to be seen if Swiggy and Zomato will be able to keep up with the competition or if ONDC will become the go-to platform for customers looking for affordable and convenient food delivery services.
