Flipkart vs Amazon – Price, Ratings & Delivery TAT Comparison

Introduction

India’s two largest eCommerce giants—Flipkart and Amazon—often list the same products with differences in pricing, ratings, and delivery times. For sellers, brands, and market intelligence teams, tracking these variables in real-time is vital to stay competitive and optimize presence across both platforms. iWeb Data Scraping partnered with a top-tier electronics brand to implement a structured comparison of prices, reviews, and delivery timelines between Flipkart and Amazon, covering 2,000+ SKUs across metro and Tier 2 cities.
