Is ONDC cheaper than Zomato and Swiggy for restaurants?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
ONDC does not publish one rate. Inc42 gave about 3–7% in 2023, which is not official. Zomato and Swiggy are reported at 15–30%.
- The 3–7% range is approximate and comes from press, not from ONDC.
- ONDC adds ₹1.50 an order above ₹250, collected through seller apps.
- Seller-app and buyer-app fees are charged on top, and 18% GST is added to fees.
- Zomato and Swiggy do not publish their rates. Press reports say 15–30%.
- Ask your seller app for its rate in writing before you sign up.
Compare with a link that has no commission
Whatever an app charges, orders on your own Menuthere link carry 0% commission, so you keep the customer and the full order value apart from gateway fees.
