Over the last couple of years, OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar have become favorite names in households across India. From old movies to the latest platform Originals, OTT media services allow their subscribers to watch different genres of content, anywhere and anytime- and at a very affordable price.

If you are considering buying a subscription for such platforms, go through our blog about the latest OTT mobile plans comparison.

An Introduction To Mobile-Only OTT Plans

As the name suggests, mobile-only OTT plans enable subscribers to access the platform’s content on their smartphones using an internet connection. So, if you have a mobile-only plan, you won’t be able to log in to the platform on your laptop or computer.

Benefits of Mobile-Only OTT Plans

With the rising popularity of smartphones in India and the need for ongoing entertainment, multiple OTT platforms have introduced mobile-only plans. This allows the platforms to offer premium content to subscribers at a lower cost.

Netflix

Netflix is the world's largest online entertainment provider, with over 151 million paying subscribers in over 190 countries, watching TV shows, documentaries, and feature films in a broad range of genres and languages.

Members may watch as much as they want, whenever and wherever they want, on any internet-connected screen. Like any other OTT platform, members can watch, stop, and continue without interruptions or obligations.

Netflix has launched a new mobile plan in India. Members will be able to watch all of Netflix's content in standard definition (SD) solely on a single tablet or smartphone at a time for INR 199 per month. In addition to the current basic, standard, and premium plans, this would be their fourth plan designed for India.

To create an account for the Netflix mobile plan, follow these steps:

Install the Netflix app or go to www.netflix.com.
Choose the INR 199/month cell phone plan.
Enter your account information, and you will receive the very first month for free (only for new members)

Netflix enhances the mobile experience with Smart Downloads, mobile previews, and social media integration. This platform has recently updated its Android app by streamlining the sign-up process for new users and making the app load faster on entry-level devices.

Disney+ Hotstar

Along with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar is India's most popular video streaming service. The video streaming service has an exclusive relationship with Disney, giving it a natural advantage over competitors in terms of unique content. It has coupled this with smartly priced plans that provide a very affordable membership pack covering live sports as well as a more costly tier of subscription that allows you access to all of the app's premium content.

For its clients, the firm has just launched a new Mobile-only package. The package is marketed as the Disney+ Mobile plan, and it costs Rs 499 for a year. This plan allows subscribers to view all content, including Disney+ Premium, on a single mobile device at a time. Users may also view the material in HD resolution with this package.

While introducing the new plans, the company announced that the existing Plus and VIP subscribers will be moved to the Disney+ Hotstar mobile plan.

To get the subscription, follow these steps:

Visit the official Disney + Hotstar website or download the app.
Navigate to the sign-in now link on the homepage.
Fill out the form.
Select the mobile plan for Rs 499/.
Make the payment.

Beginning with Hotstar Mobile, the lowest membership price grants access across all Disney Plus Hotstar content. The idea, though, is just for mobile displays. This means that you can only access all of the material via the Disney+ Hotstar app and not through any Smart TV. Furthermore, it may only be seen on one device at a time. Aside from that, the bundle includes HD streaming of its latest movies and web series.

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon entered the Indian market with a slew of services available via its Prime membership program. The Prime membership service, which includes a subscription to Prime Video, has been available for a few years.

In our country, the streaming site competes with OTT providers such as Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and Zee5, by offering content in multiple genres, including drama, horror, romance, and comedy. Amazon Prime Video membership options in India are more affordable since they include a subscription to Amazon shopping, entertainment, and other services.

Amazon's goal is to make Prime Video content more accessible to customers. To do this, the firm has launched Amazon Prime Video mobile-only subscriptions in India, beginning at Rs. 89 per month in partnership with Airtel.

The Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition is designed to operate exclusively on mobile devices, allowing consumers to watch internet video on their cellphones. One notable feature is that India is the first nation to get Amazon Prime Video's mobile-only subscriptions.

Amazon Prime has partnered with Airtel to offer mobile-only subscriptions in the nation. Airtel customers will be able to watch Amazon Prime entertainment in SD definition on their smartphones. Thanks to this feature, the Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition plan looks similar to Netflix's mobile-only subscription, including SD video for single users.

What's noteworthy about the Prime Video mobile plan is that, besides providing customers with a variety of online content, it also offers them 4G bandwidth to improve the user experience further.

The new Amazon Prime plans start at Rs. 89 and go up to Rs. 349. The basic price of Rs. 89 includes access to Amazon Prime Video. The Rs. 349 package provides full access to Amazon Prime Video (with multi-user availability, quicker Amazon India deliveries, ad-free Amazon Music, Prime Reading, and additional Prime benefits).

To enable Amazon Prime Video, follow these steps:

Log in to your Amazon account, or create one if you don’t already have it.
Pay for your Prime subscription.
Use the Prime Video platform by installing the application for your mobile device or by visiting the website on your PC.
