Choosing between JioHotstar and Netflix starts with what you want to watch and which devices you use. Our earlier comparison asserted a Warner Bros rights transfer without supporting evidence. That claim has been removed. Check each service's India catalogue for the specific title and season you want before paying.
India monthly prices checked on 6 November 2026
| Service | Plan | Monthly price | | --- | --- | --- | | JioHotstar | Mobile | ₹79 | | JioHotstar | Super | ₹149 | | JioHotstar | Premium | ₹299 | | Netflix | Mobile | ₹149 | | Netflix | Basic | ₹199 | | Netflix | Standard | ₹499 | | Netflix | Premium | ₹649 |
JioHotstar figures come from JioStar's official plan announcement, effective 28 January 2026 for new subscribers. Mobile permits one mobile device at a time; Super and Premium allow two and four simultaneous devices respectively. Mobile and Super are ad-supported. Premium's entertainment is ad-free, with exceptions for live sports and other live shows. Hollywood access is an additional purchase on Mobile and included in Super and Premium. The announcement preserves existing plans and prices while eligible auto-renewals remain active.
Netflix prices are displayed on its official India site. Confirm the final plan details when signing up; bundles and third-party billing can have different conditions.
Choose for your actual viewing routine
If you watch on a phone, compare the mobile tiers and the shows available within them. If you need a television, check supported-device access rather than assuming that the cheapest mobile plan includes it. For simultaneous viewing, read the plan's current stream allowance and household rules. A stream allowance is not permission to share an account outside the service's terms.
Make a short watchlist before choosing an annual commitment. Search for the exact season, language and subtitle options. Content availability can change, and a brand-level licensing headline does not guarantee that every related programme is available in India.
Manage renewals deliberately
A monthly plan can suit a short watchlist; a longer subscription may suit regular viewing. Compare the total cost, any add-ons, and the renewal conditions shown in your account. Use the provider's cancellation process and check the effective end date rather than assuming that changing a payment mandate cancels the membership.
For store-specific subscription options, see the JioHotstar listing and read its stated terms. The provider prices above are comparison references, not a promise of a particular reseller offer.
Which service is cheaper?
The listed entry monthly price is ₹79 for JioHotstar Mobile and ₹149 for Netflix Mobile. Compare device access and the content you need before deciding on value.
Has all Warner Bros content moved from JioHotstar to Netflix?
This article does not establish that claim. Check the current India listings for each title instead of assuming a catalogue-wide move.
