Andaman

Andaman is not as cheap as Goa. Airplane tickets to Andaman would cost quite much more than Goa and especially if it is the high season. The prices of Goa tickets would not hike as much as Andaman's.

The crowd that comes to Goa is a mixture of domestic and international tourists. Goa is a major weekend chill destination for Indians.
