Which app delivers fastest: Blinkit or Zepto?

Zepto generally delivers faster (under 10 mins) due to its optimized dark store network. Blinkit averages 12-15 mins but offers a wider variety of non-grocery items like electronics.

Does Blinkit have a delivery fee?

Yes, Blinkit typically charges ₹15-₹35 for small orders. Orders above ₹199 are often free or have reduced fees, depending on your location and demand.

Is Swiggy Instamart better than Zepto?

Swiggy Instamart is better if you already have a Swiggy One membership, as it waives delivery fees. Zepto is better for pure speed and late-night cravings (open until 2 AM in many cities).
