Coop@home charges CHF 9.90 delivery (free above CHF 99) and has no minimum basket; Migros Online charges CHF 7.90 (free above CHF 99) and requires a CHF 50 minimum order. For most households, Migros Online is marginally cheaper to use regularly, but Coop@home wins for single large shops and Supercard loyalty rewards.
What Are the Delivery Fees and Minimum Baskets?
Delivery costs are where the two platforms diverge most clearly. Coop@home applies a flat CHF 9.90 fee for baskets under CHF 99, dropping to zero above that threshold. Migros Online is slightly cheaper at CHF 7.90 per delivery, also waived above CHF 99 — but it enforces a CHF 50 minimum order, so you cannot order a single bottle of olive oil and call it done.
For a typical Swiss family spending around CHF 800–1'000 per month on groceries (a range consistent with figures cited by Comparis household surveys), most orders will clear CHF 99 and avoid the fee on either platform. Smaller households or single-person flats are more likely to pay a delivery charge on Migros Online if they order frequently in smaller batches.
Quick rule: If your weekly shop regularly exceeds CHF 99, delivery fees are irrelevant on both platforms. Below that, Migros Online's CHF 7.90 beats Coop@home's CHF 9.90 — but only if your basket also clears CHF 50.
How Do Real Prices Compare Between Coop@home and Migros Online?
Both retailers apply the same shelf prices online as in-store, with occasional web-only promotions. The structural price difference comes from own-brand tiers: Migros Online sells M-Budget lines (the budget range), while Coop@home carries Prix Garantie products. Both ranges sit at the value end, but product selection varies.
| Product | Coop@home | Migros Online |
|---|---|---|
| Whole milk 1 L (own brand) | CHF 1.45 (Prix Garantie) | CHF 1.40 (M-Budget) |
| Pasta penne 500 g (own brand) | CHF 0.95 (Prix Garantie) | CHF 0.90 (M-Budget) |
| Chicken breast 500 g (own brand) | CHF 6.80 | CHF 6.50 |
| Naturaplan bio yoghurt 400 g | CHF 2.20 | n/a (Coop exclusive) |
| Bio range equivalent (Migros Bio) | n/a | CHF 2.10 |
M-Budget tends to undercut Prix Garantie by a few centimes on dry goods. The gap is rarely significant per item, but across a monthly shop it can add up to CHF 10–20 in favour of Migros Online for budget-range buyers. Compare Naturaplan and Migros Bio in depth.
Which Loyalty Programme Gives You More Back?
Both supermarkets operate mature loyalty schemes. Coop@home credits your Supercard with 1 point per CHF 1 spent; accumulated points convert to vouchers at roughly 1% cash-back. Migros Cumulus works on the same principle — 1 point per CHF 1, equivalent to around 1% returned as vouchers or top-up credit.
On paper they are equal. The practical difference is in how you redeem: Cumulus points feed into a broader ecosystem including Migros Bank, Do it + Garden and Melectronics, while Supercard links to Coop petrol stations, Interdiscount and Microspot. If you already fill up at a Coop petrol station or buy electronics at Interdiscount, Supercard accumulation is meaningfully more valuable.

What Is the Product Range Like, and Are There Any Gaps?
Coop@home lists roughly 30'000 products online; Migros Online is in a similar range. Both carry fresh produce, chilled and frozen goods, household cleaning and personal care. The main gaps are structural: Migros does not sell alcohol (a long-standing company policy), so wine, beer and spirits are simply absent from Migros Online. Coop@home carries a full drinks range.
Specialty ranges differ too. Coop@home is the only online route to Naturaplan (Coop's organic line), while Migros Online stocks Migros Bio and the upmarket Terra Suisse labels. If your household buys a lot of certified organic produce, the choice of preferred organic brand may decide the platform before price even enters the equation. Read our full organic brand comparison.
Migros also excludes some third-party brands it does not stock in-store (historically Nestlé, though the situation has evolved). Check your regular brand list before committing to a subscription model on either platform.
How Fast Is Delivery, and Can You Pick a Time Slot?
Both services offer next-day delivery with time-slot selection in major Swiss agglomerations — Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva and Lausanne are well covered. Rural zones may see 2-day lead times or no coverage at all; Coop@home generally has a slightly wider geographic footprint because of its longer-established logistics network.
Same-day delivery is available on Coop@home in select cities (order by midday). Migros Online does not offer a same-day option at the time of writing. For families relying on online delivery as a primary shopping channel, that same-day window can matter during busy weeks.
Time slots typically run in 2-hour windows and can be booked up to 6 days in advance. Both platforms allow order editing up to a cut-off time the evening before delivery.
Which Platform Works Better If You Meal-Plan First?
Shopping from a meal plan rather than a freeform list cuts food waste significantly. Foodwaste.ch estimates Swiss households discard food worth roughly CHF 600–800 per person per year — a figure that drops sharply when shopping is tied to a concrete weekly menu. Both Coop@home and Migros Online allow you to build and save lists, but neither integrates with an external meal-planning workflow out of the box.
Eini's smart grocery feature lets you plan meals first, then generate a shopping list organised by category. You can cross-reference current deals and add items directly to your cart logic — reducing both impulse purchases and forgotten ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions: Coop@home vs Migros Online
Is there a subscription to get free delivery on both platforms?
Coop@home offers a Abo (subscription) for CHF 99 per year that includes unlimited free deliveries regardless of basket size — useful for smaller households that order weekly. Migros Online does not currently offer an equivalent annual delivery pass; free delivery kicks in automatically on every order above CHF 99.
Can I return products if something arrives damaged or past its best-before date?
Yes on both platforms. Coop@home and Migros Online both accept complaints via their customer service portals within 24 hours of delivery. Refunds or replacement items are standard practice; you are not expected to return chilled or fresh goods.
Do Coop@home and Migros Online deliver to my postcode?
Enter your postcode on each site's home page — both show coverage maps. Coop@home reaches more rural postcodes, especially in central and eastern Switzerland. Migros Online covers the main agglomerations well but has fewer rural delivery zones.
Which is better for a household that buys a lot of organic produce?
If you prefer the Naturaplan brand (Coop's organic line), Coop@home is your only online option. If you are happy with Migros Bio or Terra Suisse, Migros Online works well and is often a few centimes cheaper per item. Both are Knospe (Bio Suisse) certified for their respective organic ranges.
Are prices the same online as in the physical stores?
Generally yes. Both retailers commit to price parity between online and in-store. Occasional web-only flash promotions exist on both platforms, and Coop@home sometimes runs Supercard double-point weekends for online orders specifically.
