Database: Streaming services in India (2021)

k-pad · Oct 25, 2021

Hi all,
Trying to make a database for services available in India. Starting for a few I have subscribed to, please feel free to add for whatever you have. Am sure it would be useful for future subscribers.
Regards
--
Format:
Service, Plan, peak video capability, peak audio capability.

Netflix: 899 plan, 4K, Dolby Vision, 5.1, up to Dolby Atomos
Prime: Bundled @ 999 with annual Prime, 4k, 4.1
Hotstar: Premium 999 (going up next year?) , 1080P?, 5.1
SonyLiv: (599) Premium, Undisclosed, Undisclosed.
Voot: (299) Premium, Undisclosed, Undisclosed.
Zee5: (999) Premium, undisclosed (though it looks to be 1080p), undisclosed (yet to see a 5.1 claim for any content)
Please do add for other services you have experienced too...
Sunnxt:
Lionsgate standalone:
Mubi:
Criterion, if available in India via VPN:
Please add as many streaming services as possible, including Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, and others. Will be useful for FMs across the board.

And also music:
Far as I know, all services in India are limited to non-Hi-Fi?
Tidal via VPN in economical countries are the best?
Regards

PS: Once enough inputs are there, happy to collate in a table and publish at the end of the thread.

most important word for this is monthly. hands down beats every other pricing through the roof

Yogesh · Oct 29, 2021

Which would be the best combo offer that combines multiple service? e.g. Times Prime.

Yogesh · Oct 29, 2021

This is a basic summary I could compile of some services.

Eros Now	399	299	1
Discovery+	399	299	4
LionsGate	699	699	3
Docu Bay	999	499	2
Shorts TV	499	299
Mubi	3598	1999	2
Disney Hotstar	1499		4
SonyLiv	999		2
Voot	299		4
Zee5	499		3
Netflix	899		4
Prime	999		3
Shemaroo	749		4

Please do note Netflix rates are p.m. while all other rates are p.a.

It is nicely summarized. The basic plan for Netflix starts from Rs.499, and the 4K costs Rs.799. Probably, we can make another row to break down the pricing based on streaming quality.

Yogesh · Oct 29, 2021

If one was not much into television channels, Which ones are worth the salt?

Avinash Pai · Oct 30, 2021

Curiositystream and Discovery +. Both are great for documentary lovers like me.

Please note that Netflix rates in this table are per month whereas all others seem to be annual rates. This makes Mubi and hotstar look expensive. Also, Mubi is currently available for 1999 even on Mubi website. And Netflix rate is 799, not 899, which translates to 9588 per year.

Fair point. But I think Yogesh did mention at the bottom that NF is monthly while the rest are annual.
Yogesh bhai, you have already done a great service by setting the ball rolling. If you can save it as an editable file with access to a couple of us, we will be happy to share the responsibility of updation with you.
Let us know if possible.

Also, if this goes forward, would be nice if FMs can share more details.
Would like to add Sunnxt, bolly apps like the times one and balaji's, Apple TV, Hoichoi, Rakuten (if available in India), Nature/History/Culinary/sports streams, etc, etc.

Correct, sir.
Did mean 5.1! (More than a handful of titles I'd say actually.)
And now that they have tie-ins with Lionsgate, Mubi, etc, it's become even more awesome.
But as someone linked above, prices are drastically going up all across the competition.
Providers have tested price hikes, and from what I hear they like the numbers they have seen so far. Expect things to cost more in 22-23.
Cheers.
