DealZap vs GrabOn: an honest comparison

Last updated July 2026 · 8,280 live deals on DealZap right now

GrabOn has been indexing Indian coupon codes since 2013 and the database is genuinely huge. If a brand has ever issued a promo code, GrabOn probably has it listed somewhere. The downside that anyone who has used the site for a while knows: a meaningful chunk of those listed codes are already expired or never actually worked. You try four codes at checkout to find one that takes ₹50 off, and that is just how it goes. DealZap takes the opposite approach. We list fewer codes (currently 246 active across 82 stores) but every one of them is checked, and dead codes drop off automatically.

When to pick which

DealZap is the right pick

You want to apply a code at checkout once and have it actually work, instead of testing five codes that say "invalid" before you give up.

GrabOn is the right pick

You need a code for a niche or recently-launched brand that a smaller curated platform has not gotten around to indexing yet. GrabOn's sheer breadth wins on long-tail merchants.

Questions people actually ask

Why do some GrabOn coupons not work at checkout?

Like most large coupon aggregators, GrabOn lists user-submitted codes and re-publishes from merchant emails. Codes expire continuously, and any platform that prioritises breadth over verification will see some stale entries. It is a structural trade-off, not a knock on GrabOn — their model is built for volume and discoverability.

How does DealZap keep coupons fresh?

Active coupons get re-checked daily. Anything that has stopped applying at checkout for two consecutive verifications drops off the live listing. The 246 active coupons today are all checked within the last 24 hours.

Does GrabOn have deals too, or only codes?

Both, but the coupon database is what most people go there for. Their deals listings are mixed with affiliate offers and are not specifically curated by category.

Which is faster to find a code on?

GrabOn if you already know the exact merchant. DealZap if you want to browse by category and grab whatever fits.

Are DealZap coupons free to use?

Yes, just like GrabOn. Both sites make money from the retailer when a sale converts. The shopper pays nothing extra.
