Checked 11 November 2026. Every price below was read on the vendor’s own page that day and is quoted as printed. A vendor with no printed price says so; we did not fill the gap.

|---|---|---|

Our open score gives a tool up to 60 points from signals we can check: rupee pricing, GST invoice, UPI, data in India, a public price, a free plan and the number of alternatives. “Not recorded” means we have not found a vendor statement on that point, not that the answer is no. How the score is worked out.
