The short answer
We cannot tell you Amazon or Flipkart is cheaper, because it depends on the product, the seller, your card and the hour. What we can give you is a method. Compare the final payable amount for the exact same model, not the headline discount percentage.

How to compare the same product on both
- Find the exact product and model. Match brand, model number, colour, storage or size.
- Check the Amazon price.
- Check the Flipkart price.
- Check the seller on each. A listing sold by a lesser-known third party is not equal to one sold by the marketplace's own assured seller.
- Check delivery: date, cost and whether the pincode is serviceable.
- Check coupons. Note whether each needs clipping or a code.
- Check bank offers. Count only the one your card qualifies for, with its cap.
- Check exchange terms if you will trade in a device.
- Check the final payable amount on each payment screen.
- Check historical price where available, so you know whether either price is low for this product.
- Decide against your target. If neither meets the price you set, wait.
The Shopping Cost Calculator helps you total each side after discounts and shipping, and the Price Drop Calculator shows how far each price is below the one you saw before the sale.
Why headline percentages mislead
- Each marketplace measures its percentage against its own reference price.
- A smaller discount on a lower starting price can be cheaper than a bigger discount on a higher one.
- Bank offers apply to specific cards. Yours may differ from the headline.
- A fast-changing price can flip which side is cheaper within hours.
