Wrapping Up
We have used most of these apps and many will get the job done. Without being biased, Borzo or WeFast (both are the same) stands as a personal favorite because it’s a widely available and trusted same-day delivery app out there. Similarly, Dunzo is hyperlocal which means your pickups and deliveries are fulfilled at lightning speed while others might take a few hours for the same. Uber is among the best ones similar to Swiggy Genie. Porter is a well-established delivery service provider with a huge network and definitely a presence in the enlisted cities.
