· Swiggy has its method on its home discovery page to let its users know about all they provide. It includes offers, grocery store services, top picks, and in the spotlight. But the most amazing feature is its classification of health styles. It contains a health hub, fresh meat and seafood, pet care stores, and gourmet organic. On the other hand, Zomato has quite an off landing page. It has basics as dish names, offers, and restaurant designations. To conclude, Swiggy wins the points for having an improved home page.

· Search what you want, A feature that is the soul for a food delivering app. As much as we love to explore, the past suggestions according to order history are a big time saver.

While, Zomato offers recently searched, trending near you, and recommended for you. Hence, for a personalized experience, the point goes to Swiggy.

· Time to order? The overview of the ordering menu in both apps is quite similar and basic. They involve reviews, ratings, offers, bestsellers, recommendations, and delivery time. They adequately give information about the cuisines. But the go out feature for Zomato is a plus element. On the order homepage, you can click on more information and it takes you to the restaurant overview which has all the details about reviews, ratings, best dishes, and whatnot. Thus, Zomato has an advantage for the order menu.

· One-click payment without adding all the details is comforting, right? Zomato remembers the last used option and uses it as a default option unless changed by the user; this does reduce the time in placing an order. Swiggy doesn’t do that and it directly provides you with a list of payment options to choose from. Before finalizing the order, Zomato also provides suggestions to add to the bill based on popular add-ons. Therefore, all points for easy paying to Zomato.

WRAP UP

Zomato and Swiggy are indeed best sellers for food delivery. They have a unique design and user flow. Zomato has its benefits and Swiggy has its own. It all is subject to how these apps are approaching customers and their behavior. What do you think? What makes you want to order from one restaurant over the other? Whose UI/UX speaks to you? It’s your call to decide whether “Think Zomato” or “Swiggy it”.
