| Sr.No. | Mortar | Concrete |
| 1 | Mortar, which is a mixture of water, cement, and sand, has a higher water-to-cement ratio than concrete. | Concrete is a mixture of water, cement, sand just like mortar. However concrete also has gravel and other coarse aggregates that makes it stronger and more durable. |
| 2 | Mortar is made from cement, sand, and water. | Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water |
| 3 | Mortar is less durable than concrete. | Due to its composing elements it is much stronger as compared to the former. |
| 4 | Has to be replaced every 25-50 years hence not practical for use. | Works intact for a really long time and hence finds application in several purposes. |
| 5 | A less strong, thick mixture, less durable as the latter. | Thinner, stronger more durable as compared to the former. |
| 6 | Best used as a bonding element, for example, glue together bricks or such. | Best used for support such as beams walls and other building foundations i.e. structural purposes. |
| 7 | The water to cement ratio is higher in a mortar and hence acts as perfect glue to bonding materials like brick. | Low water to cement ratio making it an unfit bonding material. |
| 8 | Mortar finds application as a bonding element. | Concrete finds application in structural and decorative purposes like beams, fireplaces, walls etc. |
| 9 | Used as the glue to hold bricks, blocks, etc. toghether | Used for building: Foundation, Slabs, Patios, & Masonry |
| 10 | Various types available for specific applications | Most Flexible forming into any mold & rock hard |
