AJIO vs Myntra Formal Shirt Price October 2026: Rs. 120 to Rs. 1,499

Two large Indian fashion sites, one category, one morning. We read 80 AJIO listings and 32 Myntra listings for men's formal shirts on 17 October 2026 — logged out, from India, with nothing bought — and put the two shelves side by side on every figure each site publishes.

AJIO is cheaper at every point of the range. Its floor is Rs. 120 against Rs. 447; its median shirt costs Rs. 562.50 against Rs. 637.50, about 12% less. Its badges are deeper too, a median of 70% against 64%.

And it publishes no evidence whatsoever. Not one of AJIO's 80 listings carried a star average or a rating count. Twenty-four of Myntra's 32 did, the deepest with 232,259 ratings behind it. That is the single biggest difference between the two shelves, and it is not a difference in price.

Two rows deserve a second look. The median stated MRP is higher on Myntra — Rs. 1,949 against Rs. 1,774 — while the median badge is lower. So AJIO's deeper discount claims are not produced by larger claimed list prices; they are produced by lower selling prices. That is the more honest version of 'AJIO discounts harder'.

And the last row is the one to carry away. A 12% price advantage is real but modest. The difference between a shelf where four in five listings publish what buyers thought and a shelf where none of them do is a difference in kind, not degree — particularly at the cheap end, where both shelves fill up with houses nobody has heard of.

Only one name turned up in both reads, and it states the identical MRP of Rs. 2,088 on each site. AJIO sells at Rs. 585, badged 72%. Myntra sells at Rs. 626, badged 70% — across four separate tiles, three of which publish the same 19,208-rating pool. Rs. 41 apart, about 7%, in AJIO's favour.

What this is not: proof that one identical garment sells at two prices. The listing names differ — "Men Tailored Fit Shirt" on one site, "Men Solid Spread Collar Cotton Formal Shirt" and variants on the other — and nothing in either listing establishes that they are the same product. What it is: one house carrying one claimed list price across two retailers, and that single shared figure producing two different prices and two different advertised savings on the same morning. If a brand you want appears on both sites, the stated MRP is often the thing that travels; the price is not.

Group either shelf by house and the same shape appears: the names you know sit high and advertise small savings; the names you do not sit low and advertise large ones.

On AJIO the split is almost clean. One unfamiliar house supplied 15 of the 80 listings, all between Rs. 280 and Rs. 483 and all badged 70% or deeper. The two established shirting names in the read sat at Rs. 635–1,151 and Rs. 840–1,499, badged 35–56% and 40–65%. Not one established house in either read posted a badge above 65%.

Myntra does the same thing at its own scale. Its shallowest badge in the whole read — 23% — sits on an international high-street name at Rs. 1,154 with 11,922 ratings. Its 70% tiles are five copies of one shirt from a house with no published rating at all.

None of that makes the cheap shirts bad or the expensive ones good. This page read prices; it did not touch a garment. What the pattern does mean is practical: sorting either site by discount sorts it by brand obscurity, almost exactly, and that is not what most people think they are asking for when they tick the box.

If you know the brand and the fit you want, compare the rupee prices across both sites — the one brand in both reads was Rs. 41 cheaper on AJIO off an identical claimed MRP, and that kind of gap is easy to find and easy to miss.

If you are shopping by discount, stop. On both shelves the badge tracks how little-known the house is far more closely than it tracks value, and AJIO's median badge is six points deeper than Myntra's while its median stated MRP is lower.

If you are buying a name you do not recognise, Myntra is the only one of the two that will tell you what other buyers thought. Twenty-four of its 32 listings published a rating count; none of AJIO's 80 did. At the Rs. 300–600 end, where both shelves are thickest, that is the whole of the available evidence.

And read the repeats. Myntra's shelf contained five identical copies of one shirt and four of another; the count of listings on a page is not the count of garments you can choose between. Prices and rankings change continuously and both sites personalise results, so treat every figure here as one morning's reading rather than a standing fact.
