The Jio-Hotstar partnership is now official, and the platform has been rebranded as JioHotstar. This new service combines content from both Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema, with the Disney+ Hotstar app now transforming into the JioHotstar app (JioCinema also redirects to the same). The app is available on Android, iOS, and can be accessed via the website. With JioHotstar, users can enjoy content from both platforms in one place, making it a more appealing option for many. However, there is some uncertainty regarding plans, pricing, and how existing JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar subscriptions will be managed. In this article, we break down everything you need to know about plans, pricing, and more.

What to expect from the content?

JioHotstar offers content from various services, including Disney, Hotstar Specials, HBO, Peacock, Paramount Plus, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and National Geographic. This makes it a content-rich subscription that provides good value for the money.

JioHotstar plans explained

Currently, there are three subscription plans available for Jio Hotstar.

Jio Hotstar Mobile Plan is the basic plan, available for mobile devices only. It costs ₹149 for three months and can be used on just one device. A one-year version is also available for ₹499.

Jio Hotstar Super Plan is priced at ₹299 for three months or ₹899 for a year. It allows streaming on two devices simultaneously and can be accessed on mobile, web, and TV. This plan includes ads.
