Cheaper ways to solve the same problem
What you would be giving up
Swiggy is most often brought in for a diner in an indian city ordering restaurant food and wanting quick grocery top-ups in the same app, a household comparing swiggy one against zomato gold based on which platform they use more, someone needing same-day courier pickup and drop-off for a non-food item via swiggy genie, a restaurant partner using swiggy for business to manage online order volume and menu pricing. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Swiggy is broadly right and the question is cost, the Swiggy pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Restaurants category lists everything the directory holds, and best restaurants tools ranks them.
Swiggy runs on ios, android, web. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
