Best ONDC Food Delivery Apps to take on Zomato & Swiggy!

ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) is back in news as it crosses 10,000 food delivery orders in a day! Also, because the ONDC online food delivery service is now available in major Indian cities. Thus, we have got you the Best ONDC Food Delivery Apps so you can munch on day & night!

You can order food from ONDC restaurants via Paytm, Pincode,MagicPin, Ola, TataNeu, Mystore, nStore, and Qaddoo apps only, as of now. MagicPin is the official ONDC Food Delivery App as Paytm and TataNeu just host this service (you will see ‘powered by MagicPin’ or 'serving by MagicPin' at the bottom). Besides, Pincode has been launched by PhonePe app.

ONDC Food Delivery Apps are providing heavy discounts + Free Delivery (upto 4 kms) + Flat ₹50 off(can use Coupon "ONDC50") as part of their promotional campaigns. However, they levy Taxes and a Packaging Fee at checkout. I found Packaging Fees on some Mumbai restaurants to be around ₹30 (nearly a delivery fee), and that too for 1/2 items (burgers, sandwiches, etc)! However, the final price is way lesser when compared to Zomato and Swiggy, which is why ONDC Food Apps are getting popular.

The ONDC Food Delivery Apps connect you directly to the restaurants. A single app hosts multiple ONDC restaurants where prices are decided by the restaurants themselves following ONDC’s T&Cs. The government has got ONDC to break the monopoly of Zomato and Swiggy. This will help people get food delivery at reasonable prices along with access to more restaurants / food stalls.

I have picked up some promotional food items (Mumbai restaurants) from Paytm/MagicPin ONDC food delivery section and compared their prices with those on Zomato/Swiggy.

Thus, you can see that ONDC is truly delivering at a very lesser price comparatively. However, the restaurant list here is just 25% of Zomato/Swiggy which is where it needs improvement. Also, how efficient is its delivery service, is a question! Not to forget, Zomato Coupons and Swiggy Coupons are the reasons why people enjoy them.

As told earlier, currently there are 8 ONDC food delivery apps from where you can order just like you do in Zomato and Swiggy. For Paytm users, search “ONDC”, and select ‘Food’ under ‘ONDC Store’. MagicPin App users will get the ONDC food delivery section on the homepage itself via a banner. It also has its own food delivery section (popular for discounts) so don’t get confused! Finally, Bangalore (now many more cities) users can download the Pincode app or find it in their PhonePe app itself.

Below is the ₹117 Bill of Food I ordered from Paytm ONDC. The same would have costed me ₹223 on Zomato and ₹198 on Swiggy after applying discount coupons.

All the Best ONDC Food Apps mentioned below are not individual apps, but have the ONDC Food section inside them so make a note. Besides, Popular food/cuisines/sections/restaurants/etc. mentioned below for all the Best ONDC Food Apps are for Mumbai location (specific region) so can change based on your location.
