The cheapest pair of socks we found costs Rs. 17.80. The cheapest pair that comes with any ratings costs Rs. 20.42. They are on different shops.
We read AJIO's and Myntra's sock listings on 25 September 2026 and divided every price by the pack count the title states, because almost nothing on either shelf is sold one pair at a time. Below: where the 36 per cent median gap comes from, why the biggest badges sit on the cheapest packs, and the twelve-pair listing that undercuts most single pairs by a factor of fifteen.
📅 Both shelves read 25 September 2026
AJIO: median Rs. 51.00 a pair, 0 of 34 listings rated.
Myntra: median Rs. 80.32 a pair, 42 of 54 rated, up to 9,831 ratings
📅 Update log:
25 Sep 2026 — first published. The AJIO figures come from ajio.com's own search results for socks and the Myntra figures from myntra.com's socks, men-socks and women-socks listing pages, both read as a logged-out visitor in India with nothing purchased. Per-pair figures divide each selling price by the pack count stated in that listing's own title; a listing stating no pack count is treated as one pair. Both retailers re-price without notice, so we re-read these shelves and log what has changed here.
Rs. 51 a pair, or Rs. 80 a pair
Socks are almost never sold one pair at a time, which makes the ticket price useless for comparing two shops. We read both shelves on 25 September 2026 - 34 sock listings on AJIO and 54 on Myntra, each with a selling price and a stated MRP - and divided every price by the pack count the listing's own title states.
AJIO's median works out at Rs. 51.00 a pair and Myntra's at Rs. 80.32 - so the median AJIO pair is 36 per cent cheaper. The ranges overlap almost completely: AJIO runs Rs. 17.80 to Rs. 550 a pair, Myntra Rs. 20.42 to Rs. 799.
Myntra sells bigger packs. Forty-eight of its 54 listings are multipacks and the largest is twelve pairs; on AJIO 23 of 34 are multipacks and the largest is six. That is most of why the two cheapest-per-pair listings on either shelf are so close together - a twelve-pack on one side, a five-pack on the other.

Rs. 2.62 separates the cheapest pair from the cheapest rated pair
The single cheapest pair we found is on AJIO: a USOXO five-pack at Rs. 89, which is Rs. 17.80 a pair. The single cheapest pair on Myntra is a Sjeware twelve-pack at Rs. 245, or Rs. 20.42 a pair. Two rupees and sixty-two paise between them.
The difference is what comes with the number. The Sjeware listing publishes 4.4 stars from 354 ratings. The USOXO listing publishes nothing, because no AJIO sock listing in this read publishes anything. Forty-two of Myntra's 54 carry a rating count, with a median of 148 and a maximum of 9,831; on AJIO it is zero out of 34.
That is the trade this page comes down to. A shopper buying on price alone saves a couple of rupees a pair on AJIO at the cheap end and roughly a third at the median. A shopper who wants any independent signal at all has one shelf to choose from.

Both shelves badge the multipacks hardest
On both sites the discount percentage runs opposite to the value. AJIO's median badge is 69.5 per cent and Myntra's is 60 per cent, and on each shelf it is the multipacks - the listings that are actually cheap per pair - that wear the biggest numbers.
AJIO's Rs. 89 five-pack is badged 91 per cent off a declared Rs. 999; its Rs. 550 single pair is badged 45 per cent off a declared Rs. 1,000. Twenty-five times the price per pair, half the badge. Myntra does the same thing more mildly: the Rs. 245 twelve-pack shows 75 per cent, while a Rs. 299 single pair and a Rs. 799 single pair show 0 per cent, priced at exactly their declared MRPs.
So the percentage is not a ranking of value on either shelf. It is a statement about the number each seller declared beside the price, and the sellers who declare large numbers are disproportionately the ones selling packs.
🧢 The check worth thirty seconds. Read the pack count in the title, divide, and compare the per-pair figure across both shops. On this read that turns a Rs. 245 Myntra listing and a Rs. 89 AJIO listing - which look nothing alike - into Rs. 20.42 and Rs. 17.80 a pair, which are almost the same thing. Then look at whether a rating count exists at all.
The AJIO shelf, priced by the pair
Here are the ends of AJIO's shelf. The six cheapest rates are all multipacks, between Rs. 17.80 and Rs. 23.80 a pair, and every one of them comes from a label most shoppers will not know. The four dearest are single pairs, from Rs. 39 to Rs. 550.
The Rs. 550 listing is worth a second look because it shares a brand with the Rs. 89 five-pack at the top of the table. One label, Rs. 22 a pair in one listing and Rs. 550 a pair in another, with nothing published on either to explain the gap. We are not saying they are the same sock; we are saying nothing on the shelf tells you whether they are.
None of the 34 listings publishes a rating average or a rating count. That is AJIO's own display, and it is consistent with every other AJIO shelf we have read this month - beauty, jewellery, sarees and now socks.

The Myntra shelf, priced by the pair
Myntra's cheap end is built on bigger packs: two twelve-pair listings at Rs. 245 work out at Rs. 20.42 a pair, and both carry several hundred ratings. After them the rates step up quickly - Rs. 50.75, Rs. 52.00, Rs. 53.50, Rs. 56.00 - which is where the median of Rs. 80.32 comes from.
At the other end, two single-pair listings carry a 0 per cent badge, priced at exactly their declared MRPs of Rs. 299 and Rs. 799. The Rs. 799 pair is the dearest sock listing in either read, and it publishes no rating; the Rs. 299 pair publishes 4.4 from 18.
The ratings are the real difference between the shelves, and they are not uniformly deep. The median count where one exists is 148, so most of these are modest samples - but a handful are substantial, including an HRX women's listing carrying 9,831 ratings, which is more evidence than the whole AJIO shelf offers put together.

What these numbers do not say
Nothing here was bought, opened, worn or washed. Every price, pack count, stated MRP, badge, star average and rating count on this page is the retailer's own published figure on 25 September 2026, reproduced without adjustment, and every per-pair figure is that price divided by the pack count printed in the listing's own title.
Neither shelf publishes fibre content, GSM, sock length in centimetres or anything else that would let you establish that two listings are comparable goods. A Rs. 17.80 pair and a Rs. 80 pair may differ in cotton content, construction, durability and fit in ways no number on either site records. This page compares what the two shops charge per pair and what evidence they publish, and it does not compare socks.
Both reads are snapshots of one day and of the listings those particular queries returned - 34 and 54 of them. Neither is the retailer's full catalogue, both shops re-price without notice, and a listing that did not appear in our read does not appear in any figure here.
Buy the pack, then decide which shop
On price per pair, AJIO wins at the median and barely wins at the floor. Rs. 51.00 against Rs. 80.32 across the two shelves is a real gap, and the cheapest pair anywhere is AJIO's Rs. 17.80 five-pack. If price is the only criterion, the multipacks from USOXO and HEBTROCO between Rs. 17.80 and Rs. 23.80 a pair are the cheapest socks in this read.
On evidence, it is not a contest. Myntra's Sjeware twelve-pack is Rs. 20.42 a pair with 4.4 from 354 ratings, and its HRX three-pack is Rs. 56.00 a pair with 4.4 from 429. Those are the cheapest pairs in this read that come with any independent signal at all, and the first of them costs Rs. 2.62 a pair more than the AJIO listing that comes with none.
What we would not do is compare the two shelves on ticket price, where a Rs. 89 listing and a Rs. 245 listing look five-pack-versus-twelve-pack different and are in fact Rs. 2.62 a pair apart; rank listings by badge, which on both shelves is largest on the packs and smallest on the expensive single pairs; or pay Rs. 550 or Rs. 799 for a single pair on shelves where neither listing publishes a fibre content, and one of them publishes no rating either.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are socks cheaper on AJIO or Myntra?
Per pair, AJIO, by about a third at the median. In our 25 September 2026 read, AJIO's 34 sock listings worked out at a median Rs. 51.00 a pair and Myntra's 54 at Rs. 80.32, dividing each price by the pack count its title states. The cheapest pair anywhere was an AJIO five-pack at Rs. 89, or Rs. 17.80 a pair; Myntra's cheapest was a twelve-pack at Rs. 245, or Rs. 20.42 a pair. The ticket prices look much further apart than the per-pair rates actually are.
Why do sock prices look so different between the two sites?
Because the pack sizes differ. Forty-eight of Myntra's 54 listings are multipacks and the largest is twelve pairs, while on AJIO 23 of 34 are multipacks and the largest is six. A twelve-pack costs more at the till and less per pair, so any comparison that stops at the ticket price is comparing pack sizes rather than prices. AJIO's outright cheapest listing is Rs. 39 and Myntra's is Rs. 168, but per pair those are Rs. 39.00 and Rs. 56.00.
Do AJIO socks have ratings?
No - not one in this read. None of the 34 AJIO sock listings we pulled on 25 September 2026 published a rating average or a rating count, while 42 of Myntra's 54 did. Where Myntra publishes a count the median is 148 and the largest is 9,831. That is AJIO's own display rather than a gap in our reading, and it matches every other AJIO shelf we have read this month.
Is a 90% discount on socks a good deal?
It tells you very little. On both shelves the biggest badges sit on the multipacks, which are also the cheapest per pair, while the expensive single pairs carry the smallest badges - two Myntra single pairs are at 0 per cent, priced at exactly their declared MRPs of Rs. 299 and Rs. 799. An AJIO five-pack at Rs. 89 shows 91 per cent off a declared Rs. 999; a single pair from the same brand at Rs. 550 shows 45 per cent. Twenty-five times the price per pair, half the badge.
What is the cheapest pack of socks online?
In this read, a USOXO pack of five on AJIO at Rs. 89 - Rs. 17.80 a pair - with no rating published. The cheapest that comes with any evidence is Sjeware's pack of twelve on Myntra at Rs. 245, or Rs. 20.42 a pair, carrying 4.4 stars from 354 ratings. Between them sit a USOXO three-pack at Rs. 57 (Rs. 19.00 a pair), a HEBTROCO three-pack at Rs. 69 (Rs. 23.00) and an HRX four-pack on Myntra at Rs. 203 (Rs. 50.75, 4.4 from 40).
Prices & codes last verified: 25 September 2026
The two shelves behind this page were read on 25 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used: 34 sock listings from ajio.com's own search results and 54 from myntra.com's socks, men-socks and women-socks listing pages, each returning a selling price and a stated MRP. Every selling price, pack count, stated MRP, discount percentage, star average and rating count is the retailer's own published figure reproduced without adjustment. Every price-per-pair figure, median, range and comparison is our own arithmetic over those listings on that date: the selling price divided by the pack count printed in that listing's own title, with a listing stating no pack count treated as a single pair. If such a listing in fact ships more than one pair, its per-pair figure here would be too high. These figures describe the listings those particular queries returned on one afternoon and not either retailer's full catalogue; a sock either shop sells that did not appear in our read does not appear in any number here, and both shops re-price and re-stock continuously. Comparing AJIO and Myntra on price per pair is not a claim that any AJIO sock and any Myntra sock are the same product or of comparable quality: neither shelf publishes fibre content, GSM, weave, length or size in these listings, so differences in material, construction, durability, fit and finish exist that are reflected in no figure on this page. A stated MRP is a maximum retail price the seller declares and a discount badge is arithmetic on that declaration, so a large percentage is an observation about a declared number and nothing more: it is not evidence that any product was ever offered or sold at the stated price, and no wrongdoing by AJIO, Myntra or by USOXO, HEBTROCO, SAMVAR, Decathlon, XYXX, Sjeware, HRX by Hrithik Roshan, Moda Rapido, IBA ISBA COLLECTIONS, KIDOfash, The Souled Store, H&M or any other brand or seller named is alleged or implied. Where two listings from one brand sit at very different per-pair prices we report exactly that and no more; we do not know, and do not assert, that the products are identical. Star averages and rating counts are as published on the date of reading and change continuously; no AJIO listing in this read published either, which is stated as a finding about AJIO's display and not as a judgement of its products. The sock photographs in the banner are the listings' own images of three products priced on this page, uploaded to our own CDN; they illustrate the category and are not the source of any price here. Nothing on this page was bought, unpacked, worn, washed, stretched or measured. Prices change without notice; coupons, bank offers, delivery charges and anything applied at checkout can move your final price in either direction, and the price shown at your checkout prevails over anything here.
