Search "sweatshirt" on Flipkart and on Myntra in the same hour and you get two shelves that have almost nothing in common except the word. We read both on 26 October 2026, logged out, from India - 129 Flipkart listings and 66 Myntra listings.
Flipkart's median sweatshirt is Rs. 399. Myntra's is Rs. 790. Seventy-five per cent of the Flipkart shelf sits under Rs. 500; five per cent of the Myntra shelf does. And one of the two publishes customer ratings while the other, in this read, publishes none at all.

The overlap is tiny. Only four of Flipkart's 129 listings cost more than Myntra's median price, and only three of Myntra's 66 cost less than Flipkart's median. A shopper comparing "the price of a sweatshirt" across these two sites is not comparing two prices for one product - they are looking at two different markets, one built around Rs. 400 unbranded fleece and one around Rs. 800 label fleece.
One shelf has a review history. The other has nothing.
This is the difference we would want to know about before spending either amount. Forty-seven of Myntra's 66 listings publish a star average and a rating count - a median of 390 ratings, and a Roadster hoodie in the read carries 49,560. None of Flipkart's 129 publishes either figure.
The same scraper, reading Flipkart's grocery shelves the same morning, returned ratings for 189 of 287 listings - so this is a property of Flipkart's apparel tiles rather than of our read. It means that on the cheaper shelf, there is no crowd-sourced signal of any kind: no star average, no count, nothing to distinguish the fifth Rs. 398 tile from the first.
On Flipkart's apparel shelf the only pre-purchase signals are the title, the photographs and the return policy. If a review history matters to you, the Rs. 400 difference between the two shelves is partly buying one. Check the return and exchange window on whichever site you use before ordering apparel you cannot try on - both are linked at the foot of this page.
Where the brands are, and what they cost
| Shelf | What is on it | Price and badge |
|---|
| Myntra, recognised labels | 33 of 66 — Roadster (16 listings), H&M (9), Marks & Spencer, Mast & Harbour, HRX | median Rs. 819, median badge 60% |
| Myntra, everything else | 33 of 66 — 9TUNKI, Cool Plus, Deslizar, Mischief Monkey, Imsa Moda and similar | median Rs. 750, median badge 62% |
| Flipkart, recognised labels | a handful — Roadster, Indian Terrain, Highlander, Tokyo Talkies | Roadster Rs. 373, Indian Terrain Rs. 725 |
| Flipkart, everything else | the overwhelming majority — Garmix, Kintu Parantu, Kushi flyer, Parona, HILFIRE REGION, loomzy, JOZMER | median Rs. 399, median badge 73% |
Half of Myntra's shelf carries labels with their own retail presence - Roadster alone accounts for 16 of the 66 listings, H&M for nine - and those listings run a median Rs. 819, barely Rs. 69 above the rest of the Myntra shelf. On Myntra, the brand name is almost free. On Flipkart, recognised labels are the exception: a Roadster reversible at Rs. 373 and an Indian Terrain at Rs. 725 are among the very few, and the Indian Terrain is the second-dearest tile in that entire 129-listing read.
The deepest badges are on the shelf with the least information
Flipkart's median badge is 73%, against a median stated MRP of Rs. 1,499 printed by sellers most shoppers will never have heard of. Myntra's median badge is 62%, against a median stated MRP of Rs. 1,999 that is more often a label's own list price.
The badge is deepest exactly where there is least to check it against. On Flipkart, 24 listings in the read claim a Rs. 999 MRP at prices from Rs. 283 to Rs. 628, and nine listings sell at the identical price of Rs. 398. On Myntra, 18 distinct stated MRPs cover 66 listings and the clustering is milder. Neither number tells you what the garment is; one of them at least comes attached to a label you can look up.
H&M is the only name on either shelf that refuses to discount
Across both reads - 195 listings - exactly eight advertise no discount at all, and every one of them is H&M, at Rs. 999, Rs. 1,499 and Rs. 1,899 with the stated MRP equal to the price. One of them, a grey relaxed-fit hoodie at Rs. 1,499, carries 48,239 ratings - more review history than anything else in either read bar one.
That is worth sitting with. The single most-reviewed garment across both marketplaces is sold at full price, with no badge at all, while the deepest badge in either read - 87% - sits on a Rs. 328 Flipkart tile with no rating whatsoever.
Which shelf should you actually buy from?
If the budget is the constraint, Flipkart wins outright and it is not close. Rs. 220 to Rs. 500 buys a fleece sweatshirt there and will not on Myntra, where the cheapest listing in this read is Rs. 486 and only two others sit below Rs. 500. Accept that you are buying without a review history and read the return policy first.
If you want to know what you are getting, Myntra's shelf carries the information. Ratings on 47 of 66 listings, familiar labels on half of them, and a median price of Rs. 790 - roughly double. Neither shelf is wrong; they are answering different questions, and the discount badge is the one thing on either of them that will not help you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flipkart or Myntra cheaper for sweatshirts in October 2026?
Flipkart, substantially, in this read of both sites on 26 October 2026. Flipkart's median sweatshirt is Rs. 399 against Myntra's Rs. 790, and 97 of Flipkart's 129 listings are under Rs. 500 against 3 of Myntra's 66. The shelves barely overlap: only four Flipkart listings cost more than Myntra's median price.
Why do Flipkart sweatshirts have no ratings?
In this read, none of the 129 Flipkart sweatshirt and hoodie listings publishes a star average or a rating count, while 47 of Myntra's 66 do - a median of 390 ratings and up to 49,560. The same scraper returned ratings for 189 of 287 Flipkart grocery listings the same morning, so the blank is specific to the apparel tiles. We report the absence and draw no conclusion about quality from it.
Does the bigger discount badge mean a better sweatshirt deal?
No. Flipkart's median badge is 73% and Myntra's 62%, but the badges are calculated against stated MRPs each seller chooses - Rs. 1,499 and Rs. 1,999 respectively at the median. The deepest badge across both reads, 87%, sits on a Rs. 328 unrated Flipkart tile; the most-reviewed garment in either read, an H&M hoodie with 48,239 ratings, carries no badge at all.
Which brands actually appear on each site's sweatshirt shelf?
On Myntra, 33 of 66 listings are recognised labels - Roadster alone is 16 of them, H&M nine, plus Marks & Spencer, Mast & Harbour and HRX - at a median Rs. 819 against Rs. 750 for everything else. On Flipkart, recognised labels are rare: a Roadster reversible at Rs. 373 and an Indian Terrain at Rs. 725, with the rest from seller names such as Garmix, Kintu Parantu, HILFIRE REGION and JOZMER.
Is it worth paying double on Myntra for a sweatshirt?
That depends on what the extra Rs. 400 is buying you, and in this read it is mostly information: a named label and a published review history, neither of which the cheaper shelf provides. We have not handled, worn or washed any garment in either read and make no claim that Myntra's sweatshirts are better made. If budget is the constraint, Flipkart's Rs. 220-500 band simply does not exist on Myntra.
Prices & codes last verified: October 26, 2026
Every price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's and myntra.com's own product data on 26 October 2026, logged out, from India, within a single hour so the two sides are comparable. Nothing was purchased, delivered, worn, washed or measured, and no claim is made about fabric weight, GSM, fleece quality, stitching, sizing, fit, colour accuracy or durability on either shelf. Nothing here states or implies that one site's garments are better made than the other's - the comparison is of published prices, published claims and published ratings only. The two shelves were reached by each site's own search and category pages and are not a census: results vary by query, ranking, pin code, login state and time of day, and a different read would return different listings. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it and compare it, but nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart, Myntra, or any seller or brand named. Where a listing publishes no rating we report the absence as an absence, which is not evidence about quality in either direction. Prices on both sites change without notice - check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
