How they differ

Custody

Its bonds page gives ₹10,000 as an example minimum and says some bonds need more. Wint sells corporate bonds and FDs and advertises a ₹1,000 start.

Cost

Groww's pricing page has no bond line and does not say whether equity brokerage applies to bonds; whether its displayed yield includes a spread is not disclosed. Inc42 reported Wint's earnings at about 1% per bond. Neither itemises a spread.
