You have ₹1 Lakh to spend on Q-com ads this month. Two platforms are fighting for it. Here's how to decide.

The data

We analyzed 200+ campaigns across Zepto and Blinkit in FMCG, personal care, and snacks categories. Here's what we found:

MetricZeptoBlinkit
Average CPA (FMCG)₹42₹58
Average CPA (Snacks)₹31₹27
Average ROAS3.1x2.6x
Click-through rate2.8%3.4%
Avg. basket size₹380₹420

What this means

If you sell FMCG staples (rice, oil, atta): Zepto wins on CPA. Their user base skews toward repeat buyers of essentials. Your cost per acquisition is 28% lower.

If you sell snacks or impulse categories: Blinkit edges ahead. Higher CTR and slightly lower CPA suggest their users browse more and discover new products.

If you care about basket size: Blinkit users spend more per order. If your ad strategy depends on upsells or bundles, this matters.
