OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime & Disney+Hotstar have all become a part of the highly competitive race to gain more and more subscribers. A year ago, the platforms offered expensive plans that could be used on any device but with time, they have realized that India is a country where people would go for cheaper plans more, and many Indians watch content only on mobiles/smartphones. This became why all these leading OTT giants launched mobile-only plans that were more affordable and could be used on mobile devices only. Currently, almost all major OTT platforms have their mobile-only plans. Check out the list below.
We have created a list here explaining the mobile plans of every available OTT platform and their benefits so that you can make the most of the details of your Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+Hotstar, SonyLiv, and other subscription plans.
