JioHotstar has officially announced a refreshed subscription pricing structure, introducing monthly plans across all its subscription tiers. Starting January 28, the new plans aim to make the streaming platform more flexible and accessible, especially for users who prefer short-term subscriptions and mobile-first viewing. The update also reflects JioHotstar’s growing focus on large-screen consumption and evolving viewer preferences in India.

With prices starting as low as ₹79 per month, JioHotstar now offers monthly, quarterly, and annual options across its Mobile, Super, and Premium plans, giving users greater control over how they pay and watch content.

What’s New in JioHotstar’s Subscription Strategy?

Until now, JioHotstar primarily focused on longer-duration plans. The introduction of monthly subscriptions across all tiers is a significant shift, allowing users to subscribe without long-term commitments. According to the platform, this move is designed to:

Cater to users with changing viewing habits

Support mobile-first and large-screen audiences

Offer more affordable entry points for premium content

Increase flexibility alongside existing quarterly and annual plans

JioHotstar Subscription Tiers Explained

JioHotstar continues to offer three subscription tiers: Mobile, Super, and Premium. Each tier is tailored to different usage patterns, devices, and content preferences.

JioHotstar Mobile Plan: Affordable, Mobile-First Streaming

The Mobile plan is the most budget-friendly option, aimed at users who primarily watch content on smartphones.

Price: ₹79 per month

Quarterly: ₹149

Annual: ₹499

Devices: 1 mobile device at a time

Streaming Quality: Up to 720p HD

Ads: Ad-supported

The Mobile plan provides access to most of JioHotstar’s content library but does not include Hollywood content by default. Users who want Hollywood movies and shows can opt for a separate add-on.

Hollywood Add-on for Mobile Plan

₹49 per month

₹129 quarterly

₹399 annually

This makes the Mobile plan a flexible choice for budget-conscious users who want optional access to international content.

JioHotstar Super Plan: Full HD Streaming on Multiple Devices

The Super plan is designed for users who want better video quality and the ability to watch across devices, including TVs and laptops.

Price: ₹149 per month

Quarterly: ₹349

Annual: ₹1,099

Devices: Up to 2 devices simultaneously

Streaming Quality: 1080p Full HD

Ads: Ad-supported

Unlike the Mobile plan, the Super tier includes Hollywood content in the base subscription. Users can stream content across mobile, web, and supported living-room devices, making it ideal for households with shared usage.

JioHotstar Premium Plan: 4K, Dolby Vision, and Family-Friendly Access

The Premium plan is the highest-tier offering, targeted at families and users who prefer premium viewing on large screens.

Price: ₹299 per month

Quarterly: ₹699

Annual: ₹2,199

Devices: Up to 4 devices simultaneously

Streaming Quality: Up to 4K with Dolby Vision

Ads: Ad-free content, except live sports and live shows

The Premium plan delivers the best viewing experience on JioHotstar, combining high-resolution streaming, multi-device access, and minimal interruptions. Like the Super plan, Hollywood content is bundled at no extra cost.

Advertising Experience Across Plans

JioHotstar has maintained a clear distinction between ad-supported and ad-free experiences:

Mobile & Super plans: Ad-supported across all content

Premium plan: Ad-free entertainment, except for live sports and other live broadcasts

This approach allows the platform to keep entry-level pricing low while reserving a cleaner viewing experience for premium subscribers.

Why This Pricing Update Matters

The introduction of monthly plans reflects a broader trend in India’s streaming market, where users increasingly prefer flexibility over long-term commitments. With rising smart TV adoption and varied content consumption patterns, JioHotstar’s revised pricing structure positions it competitively against other OTT platforms.

The low-cost Mobile plan lowers the barrier to entry, while the Super and Premium plans cater to households and large-screen viewers looking for better quality and broader access.

Availability and Rollout Date

All new monthly JioHotstar subscription plans will go live from January 28. Users can choose between monthly, quarterly, and annual billing options directly through the JioHotstar platform.

Conclusion

With the launch of monthly subscription plans across Mobile, Super, and Premium tiers, JioHotstar is making its platform more flexible, accessible, and user-friendly. Starting at just ₹79 per month, the updated pricing structure offers something for every type of viewer—from casual mobile users to families seeking a premium, 4K streaming experience.

As competition in India’s OTT space continues to intensify, JioHotstar’s revised plans could play a key role in attracting new users while retaining existing subscribers through greater choice and affordability.
