Myntra's median pair of sunglasses costs Rs. 548 and AJIO's Rs. 961 — but AJIO's floor is Rs. 150 to Myntra's Rs. 301, and only one of the two shelves sells anything above Rs. 1,999 at all.
We read both on 18 September 2026, 174 listings in all. Below: the one MRP that follows a brand across both shelves unchanged, the five brands selling in both places and what each retailer charges, the cheap end of each, and the difference no discount closes.
📅 Both shelves read 18 September 2026
Myntra Rs. 548 median vs AJIO Rs. 961
21 Voyage listings, one Rs. 3,000 MRP
📅 Update log:
18 Sep 2026 — first published. Myntra's 71 listings came from its sunglasses, men-sunglasses, women-sunglasses and unisex-sunglasses listing pages, parsed from the page's own product JSON; AJIO's 103 came from its own search response for sunglasses, sunglasses men and sunglasses women, after removing rows the search returned that are not eyewear. Both were read on 18 September 2026 as a logged-out visitor with nothing purchased. Medians, counts and the cross-shelf brand matching are ours. Both retailers re-rank and re-price without notice, so we re-read both shelves and log what has changed here.
One brand states the same Rs. 3,000 on both shelves
Voyage is the most-listed eyewear brand across both retailers, and it is the cleanest thing in this comparison. Our pull returned 13 Voyage listings on AJIO and 8 on Myntra, and all 21 state an MRP of exactly Rs. 3,000. Not a range, not a cluster — one number, twenty-one times, on two competing marketplaces.
What the two shelves then charge against it differs only slightly: AJIO sells Voyage frames from Rs. 690 to Rs. 1,290 and Myntra from Rs. 799 to Rs. 1,089. AJIO has the cheaper floor by Rs. 109 and the dearer ceiling by Rs. 201.
The useful conclusion is about the MRP, not the price. A stated maximum retail price that follows a brand unchanged across two platforms is the brand's own convention for that product family, and the badge either shelf prints against it — 77% at AJIO's cheapest Voyage, 73% at Myntra's — is arithmetic over a number neither retailer chose. Displaying it is perfectly lawful. It is simply not a measurement of anything.
| Measure | Myntra | AJIO |
|---|
| Sunglasses listings read | 71 | 103 |
| Median selling price | Rs. 548 | Rs. 961 |
| Cheapest frame on the shelf | Rs. 301 | Rs. 150 |
| Dearest frame on the shelf | Rs. 1,999 | Rs. 14,187 |
| Listings under Rs. 1,000 | 61 of 71 | 57 of 103 |

Five brands sell on both. Two of them state two different MRPs
Five brands in our read appear on both shelves, and they split neatly. Carlton London and SPADEACES state the same MRP in both places — Rs. 1,795 and Rs. 999 respectively — and the price gap between the shelves is trivial: Myntra is Rs. 36 cheaper on the Carlton London, AJIO is Rs. 13 cheaper on the SPADEACES.
FUNGLASSES and HASHTAG EYEWEAR do not. FUNGLASSES states Rs. 1,999 on Myntra, where its cheapest frame sells at Rs. 301 with an 85% badge, and Rs. 999 on AJIO, where its frame sells at Rs. 500 with a 50% badge. HASHTAG EYEWEAR runs the same way in reverse: Rs. 999 on the Myntra listing we seated and Rs. 1,999 on AJIO's. Same brand, same fortnight, two stated list prices.
That is the whole argument for ignoring the percentage. When a brand's own stated MRP doubles depending on which app you opened, the badge calculated from it cannot be telling you what you saved.
| Brand on both shelves | Myntra | AJIO | What differs |
|---|
| Voyage | 8 listings, Rs. 799–1,089 | 13 listings, Rs. 690–1,290 | All 21 state the same MRP: Rs. 3,000 |
| Carlton London | Rs. 735, 59% off Rs. 1,795 | Rs. 771, 57% off Rs. 1,795 | Same stated MRP; Myntra Rs. 36 cheaper |
| SPADEACES | Rs. 363, 64% off Rs. 999 | Rs. 350, 65% off Rs. 999 | Same stated MRP; AJIO Rs. 13 cheaper |
| FUNGLASSES | Rs. 301, 85% off Rs. 1,999 | Rs. 500, 50% off Rs. 999 | Same brand, two stated MRPs |
| HASHTAG EYEWEAR | Rs. 536, 46% off Rs. 999 | Rs. 580, 71% off Rs. 1,999 | Same brand, two stated MRPs |
₹ These are not the same shop. Myntra's entire sunglasses shelf tops out at Rs. 1,999 and 61 of its 71 listings sell under Rs. 1,000. AJIO carries 25 listings above Rs. 2,000, including Ray-Ban, LACOSTE and MOSCHINO, which is why its median price is Rs. 961 against Myntra's Rs. 548. The gap is assortment, not markup.
The cheap end of each shelf
Myntra's floor is Rs. 301 and its six cheapest listings all state the same MRP of Rs. 1,999 — part of a group of 27 listings from eleven different brands that all state that one figure. The badges run 76% to 85%.
AJIO's floor is lower, Rs. 150, and it gets there differently. Three of AJIO's six cheapest listings are YOUSTA, a Reliance Retail house label sold in its own stores, and all three carry a flat 50% badge against stated MRPs of Rs. 299 and Rs. 399 — numbers a physical price tag could carry. The loud badge on AJIO's cheap end belongs to a Lulu & Sky frame at Rs. 207 claiming 85% off Rs. 1,383.
So the two shelves reach a low price by opposite routes: Myntra's cheap frames are priced against a shared four-figure fiction, and AJIO's cheapest are priced against a house-brand MRP under Rs. 400. The rupees you pay are what matter, and AJIO wins the floor by Rs. 151. What you cannot see on AJIO is whether anyone liked them.
| Myntra, cheapest listings | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings shown |

| FUNGLASSES unisex rectangle | Rs. 301 | Rs. 1,999 | 85% | 4.4 · 1,478 |

AJIO has a premium tier. Myntra's shelf simply stops at Rs. 1,999
Twenty-five AJIO listings sell above Rs. 2,000 and none of Myntra's 71 does. If you want Ray-Ban, LACOSTE or MOSCHINO, only one of these two shelves had it in our read, and the badge behaviour up there is the reverse of everything below it: all three Ray-Ban listings carry a badge of exactly 15%, and the LACOSTE 30%.
That is what a discount looks like on a brand with its own boutiques, its own price list and its own licensing agreements — small, consistent and checkable. The exception in the same tier is instructive: two MOSCHINO listings sell at Rs. 4,242 and Rs. 4,155 against stated MRPs of Rs. 26,900 and Rs. 26,400, badges of 84%. The loudest claims on AJIO's shelf are not at the cheap end at all. They are on designer eyewear.
We cannot verify what any of these frames retailed at and we are not suggesting anything improper by any brand or either platform. What we can say is that the 15% Ray-Ban badge and the 84% MOSCHINO badge appear on the same shelf, on the same day, in the same price tier.
| AJIO above Rs. 2,000 | Price | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| Ray-Ban 0RB2140 men's square | Rs. 14,187 | Rs. 16,690 | 15% |
| Ray-Ban men's UV-protected square | Rs. 11,552 | Rs. 13,590 | 15% |
| Ray-Ban unisex gradient lens irregular | Rs. 10,158 | Rs. 11,950 | 15% |
| LACOSTE women's oval polycarbonate | Rs. 5,796 | Rs. 8,280 | 30% |
| MOSCHINO unisex full-rim wayfarer | Rs. 4,242 | Rs. 26,900 | 84% |
| MOSCHINO women's UV-protected oval | Rs. 4,155 | Rs. 26,400 | 84% |
If glare is the actual problem, both shelves are thin. Only 8 of Myntra's 71 listings and 6 of AJIO's 103 state a polarised lens rather than a tint. Myntra's cheapest stated-polarised frame in our read is a Woggles at Rs. 536; AJIO's is a Spadeaces at Rs. 420. Everything else on both shelves states UV protection and tinting, which are not the same specification.
One shelf publishes ratings. The other publishes none
Forty-six of Myntra's 71 sunglasses listings carry a star rating and a count, and some carry real volume: 6,881 ratings on one Voyage round frame, 2,294 on another, 2,271 and 1,026 on two Vincent Chase listings, 1,478 on the Rs. 301 FUNGLASSES frame at the very bottom of the shelf.
None of AJIO's 103 listings carries either. Not a few, not most — none. AJIO's own search data returns null on both fields for every sunglasses listing we read, which is how that shelf behaves rather than a gap in our reading; we have found the same across AJIO's other categories. That is an observation about listing data and not a statement about the products.
It also complicates the headline comparison. Myntra pools rating counts across colourways, so a five-figure count describes a style family rather than the exact frame in the photograph — and a pooled count is still more than a null. If you are buying a Rs. 300 pair of sunglasses, the risk is small enough either way. At Rs. 4,000 on AJIO's designer tier, with nothing published by anyone who bought one, it is not.
How this page was read, and what it does not tell you
Both shelves were read on 18 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used. The Myntra side is 71 listings from myntra.com's sunglasses, men-sunglasses, women-sunglasses and unisex-sunglasses listing pages, parsed from the page's own embedded product JSON. The AJIO side is 103 sunglasses listings from ajio.com's own search response for the queries “sunglasses”, “sunglasses men” and “sunglasses women”, after removing rows the search returned that are not eyewear — a watch listing among them. Every selling price, stated maximum retail price, star rating and rating count is the retailer's own published figure reproduced without adjustment.
Medians, counts, the matching of brands across shelves and the observation that all 21 Voyage listings state one MRP are ours. These are two samples of two much larger catalogues, taken once, from result sets both retailers rank and re-rank continuously, and the shelves are not stocked alike: AJIO carries Ray-Ban, LACOSTE and MOSCHINO where Myntra's shelf stopped at Rs. 1,999, so the median comparison describes these samples rather than either retailer's pricing policy. Prices change without notice; coupon codes, bank card offers, minimum-cart thresholds and anything applied at checkout are not visible in listing data and can move your final price in either direction at either retailer, and the prices and terms shown at your checkout prevail over anything here.
We cannot verify whether any stated maximum retail price was ever a live selling price and make no claim either way. No wrongdoing by Myntra, by AJIO, or by Voyage, Ray-Ban, LACOSTE, MOSCHINO, Carlton London, FUNGLASSES, HASHTAG EYEWEAR, SPADEACES, YOUSTA, Lulu & Sky or any other brand named here is alleged or implied; displaying a stated MRP is lawful. Ratings and rating counts are Myntra's own figures reproduced without auditing them, and Myntra pools them across colourways, so a count describes a style family rather than one listing; a shelf publishing no ratings is an observation about listing data, not a statement about product quality. Nothing here is a judgement of lens quality, UV protection, polarisation, frame durability or fit: no sunglasses were bought, worn or lens-tested by us, every specification quoted is the seller's own listing text, and a discount percentage is not a recommendation to buy.
The short version
Read on 18 September 2026, Myntra is the cheaper shelf at the median — Rs. 548 against AJIO's Rs. 961 — and AJIO has the cheaper floor, Rs. 150 against Rs. 301. The median gap is assortment rather than markup: AJIO carries 25 listings above Rs. 2,000 and Myntra's shelf tops out at Rs. 1,999.
All 21 Voyage listings across both shelves state the identical Rs. 3,000 MRP, and two brands — FUNGLASSES and HASHTAG EYEWEAR — state Rs. 999 on one shelf and Rs. 1,999 on the other. Read the rupees, not the percentage.
Forty-six of Myntra's 71 listings publish a rating. None of AJIO's 103 do. Buy cheap on either; buy anything expensive only where somebody has said whether it arrives intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Myntra or AJIO cheaper for sunglasses in September 2026?
Myntra at the median, AJIO at the floor, on the shelves we read on 18 September 2026. Myntra's median selling price is Rs. 548 against AJIO's Rs. 961, but that gap is mostly assortment: AJIO carries 25 listings above Rs. 2,000 including Ray-Ban at Rs. 14,187, and Myntra's entire shelf stops at Rs. 1,999. At the bottom, AJIO's cheapest frame is Rs. 150 — a YOUSTA aviator — against Myntra's Rs. 301. On the brands both shelves carry, the gaps are small: Myntra is Rs. 36 cheaper on a Carlton London, AJIO Rs. 13 cheaper on a SPADEACES. Checkout offers at either retailer can change what you finally pay.
Why do Voyage sunglasses show the same Rs. 3,000 MRP on both sites?
Because the stated MRP travels with the brand rather than the platform. Our 18 September 2026 read found 13 Voyage listings on AJIO and 8 on Myntra, and every one of the 21 states an MRP of exactly Rs. 3,000, while the selling prices run Rs. 690 to Rs. 1,290 on AJIO and Rs. 799 to Rs. 1,089 on Myntra. Two brands in our read do the opposite: FUNGLASSES states Rs. 1,999 on Myntra and Rs. 999 on AJIO, and HASHTAG EYEWEAR states Rs. 999 on the Myntra listing we seated and Rs. 1,999 on AJIO's. Either way, the percentage is arithmetic over a number a seller chose.
Do AJIO sunglasses listings have customer ratings?
No. In this read none of AJIO's 103 sunglasses listings carried a star rating or a rating count — AJIO's own search data returns null on both fields for every one, which is how that shelf behaves rather than a gap in our reading. Myntra published ratings on 46 of its 71, including 6,881 on one Voyage round frame and 1,478 on the Rs. 301 FUNGLASSES frame at the bottom of the shelf. Myntra pools counts across colourways, so each describes a style family rather than the exact frame photographed. If published feedback matters to your decision, only one of these two shelves offers any.
Which shelf should I buy polarised sunglasses from?
Neither has many. Eight of Myntra's 71 listings and six of AJIO's 103 state a polarised lens; everything else states UV protection or tinting, which reduce brightness but not reflected glare off wet road and water. The cheapest stated-polarised frames in our read were a Spadeaces at Rs. 420 on AJIO and a Woggles at Rs. 536 on Myntra, with a Vincent Chase polarised wayfarer at Rs. 699 on Myntra carrying 4.3 from 468 ratings behind it. These are the sellers' own claims; we have not lens-tested anything.
Are the 80 per cent discounts on sunglasses real on either site?
Treat them as arithmetic. On Myntra, 27 of the 71 listings state exactly the same MRP, Rs. 1,999, across eleven unrelated brands, and sell from Rs. 301 to Rs. 1,999 against it. On AJIO the loudest badges are not at the cheap end at all: two MOSCHINO listings claim 84% off stated MRPs of Rs. 26,900 and Rs. 26,400, while all three Ray-Ban listings claim exactly 15% and the YOUSTA house-label frames claim a flat 50% off MRPs under Rs. 400. The pattern on both shelves is that the smallest badges belong to brands with their own shops, and displaying a stated MRP is lawful regardless.
