- In a perfect competitive market, there are close substitutes, while in a monopoly, there are no available alternatives.
- In a competitive market, price is influenced by the interplay of demand and supply forces. However, in a monopoly, the seller has the power to determine the price. In a perfect competitive market, there are no barriers to entry.
