Monthly Plans Across All Tiers

The streaming platform now offers monthly options for its Mobile, Super, and Premium tiers. Prices start at Rs. 79 per month for the Mobile plan, Rs. 149 for Super, and Rs. 299 for Premium. Previously, JioHotstar focused on quarterly and annual subscriptions. The move reflects a shift in viewer habits, particularly the growing use of connected TVs.

Hollywood content will be included by default in the Super and Premium plans for new users. Mobile-tier subscribers can access Hollywood titles through an optional add-on, allowing them to customise their subscription. The add-on is priced at Rs. 49 for a month, Rs. 129 for a quarter, and Rs. 399 annually. Plans vary by devices and ad experience: Mobile supports one device with ads, Super allows two devices with ads, and Premium supports up to four devices ad-free.
