Amazon vs Flipkart: which is actually cheaper?

It's the question every Indian shopper asks. The honest answer: neither is always cheaper — it depends on the product, the day, and the ongoing sale.

When Amazon tends to win

• Books and imported items.
• Faster delivery in many pincodes.
• Certain electronics during its Great Indian Festival sale.

When Flipkart tends to win

• Smartphones — especially exclusive launches.
• Fashion (via Myntra/Ajio in the same group).
• Big Billion Days deals on TVs and appliances.

The catch: prices change constantly

A product cheaper on Flipkart today can be cheaper on Amazon tomorrow. Bank offers change the final price too. Guessing costs you money.
