A woman in Bengaluru found significant price differences for the same items on Zepto when using Android and Apple devices. For example, 500 grams of grapes cost Rs 65 on Android but Rs 146 on iPhone.

Users have speculated that account history may influence the pricing differences. Similar pricing discrepancies have been reported by users of other services, like Uber, where fares vary between devices. This issue has sparked discussions online about fairness in pricing practices.
