While watching an IPL 2024 match, you might have come across the JioCinema advertisement. It highlights how ads hinder the viewing experience and that the platform will fix the issue with a new “plan.” The streaming platform will announce the new subscription plan on Thursday, April 25, 2024. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming JioCinema plan.
JioCinema Ad-Free Plan Benefits
For those who wish to view an IPL match without advertisements or any other show or movie on the platform, JioCinema is going to release an ad-free subscription tier. However, the platform hasn’t revealed any details about the plan, including its price.
According to reports, the ad-free subscription tier could provide 4K streaming. Users should also be able to download a show or movie to watch later. Unfortunately, that is the extent of the information on the upcoming JioCinema Plan.
JioCinema Currently Offers One Paid Subscription
Currently, the streaming platform has one premium subscription plan in place. When subscribed monthly, the plan costs Rs. 99. However, when subscribed annually, the plan costs Rs. 999. It is important to mention that while the premium subscription provides access to a wide array of content, it includes in-stream advertisements.
Building up on that, it should be safe to say that an ad-free subscription plan will cost more than Rs. 99 a month or Rs. 999 a year.
However, The Ad-Free Subscription Could Cost More
For reference, Disney+ Hotstar, another OTT streaming platform in the country, has three different subscription tiers. Two of these are ad-supported plans, while the Premium subscription tier, which includes 4K streaming and Dolby Atmos sound, is the one that doesn’t contain any ads. The plan costs Rs. 1,499 annually and provides access to four users.
We expect JioCinema to price its ad-free plan similarly and to offer it at a discounted price for a limited time. More details about the plan should appear online in the next few days.
