    Primary benefit is hassle-free payment to the merchant. You can purchase both online and offline without using cash to make the payment. Simply scan the QR code using the Phonepe app on your smartphone to make a payment into the merchant's account. And as said, its rewarding, you surely get a scratch card on every transaction that may either offer you cashback or a discount code for some vendor site shopping.

    Cons
    Paytm
    • One of the not so convenient things on Paytm is that if there is a connection failure while making a payment, your money is not credited directly to your bank account but rather to the Paytm Wallet, and this money can only be used by the Paytm platform.
    • In Paytm, user verification requires a personal visit to their physical offices, this can generate a lot of discomfort among potential users since if we want to use a virtual service it is precisely to encourage time saving.
    • You should be very careful when making purchases through Paytm's direct store, since in many occasions there are products of lower quality than the one offered and even fake products, it is better to use it to make payments to third parties and in considered amounts.

    PhonePe
    • Like GPay, you dont have the option for secure login using PIN or password.
    • Sometimes your transaction gets stuck in between for long duration, so that's a technical bug with this app.
    • if you are booking your travel tickets with PhonePe and in case you cancelled it. Then you wont get any refunds for that.

    Paytm
    I use Paytm just for the ticket booking system. For most of my daily transactions, Google Pay is the way. Google Pay has provided things very simple and faster. They always focus on a user-friendly env rather than adding everything to the app. They kept the app more simple and more useful.

    Return on Investment
    Paytm
    • It decreased checkout time for the user which allowed us to increase user experience.
    • Rarely, I used to face issues with transactions. If order got cancelled refunding of money, settling them etc.,
    • Since Paytm has link with UPI and I am able to collect money from any UPI applications, using credit or debit card, and internet banking it acted as single stop solution for me. There is no need to have multiple payment gateway options.

    • PhonePe instantly fetches the complete bank information based on your verified number.
    • You can even buy gold and invest in mutual funds via same app.
    • There are lots of fake accounts on PhonePe so the company should allow legitimate account users only.
