Disney+ Hotstar is set to remove limited access on shows with the introduction of new plans. Users will now be able to watch all content on the streaming service. Disney+ Hotstar is set to offer new plans to their users, the company announced at a virtual event on Tuesday. These plans are set to roll out in September and are said to offer the same content to all users, like in the case of Netflix. As of now, Disney+ Hotstar gives two types of subscriptions -- namely VIP and Premium subscriptions for Rs 399 and Rs 1499 per year. VIP customers have limited access to benefits with no access to English shows and Disney originals and also have ads. As of now, a number of prepaid, postpaid and broadband plans give access to Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription. It is to be seen what the streaming service will offer in place of VIP subscription once it is discontinued.
Premium customers get access to all benefits including exclusive content from Disney+ originals and Hollywood movies and TV shows from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, HBO, FX, Showtime, 20th Century, and Searchlight Pictures. Now, Disney+ Hotstar is planning to offer the same content benefits to all users. This means Disney+ Hostar VIP will be discontinued.
Starting September 1, Disney+ Hotstar will offer three new plans including Mobile at Rs 499 per year, Super at Rs 899 per year, and Premium at Rs 1499 per year. The benefits for Premium users will remain unchanged with the added benefits of being able to view shows on 4 devices with video quality in 4K. Disney+ Hotstar Super users will get access to 2 devices with video quality restricted in HD. The most basic plan will be priced at Rs 499 and will be restricted to 1 mobile device.
Disney+ Hotstar will thus give its users the benefit to access all content starting from Rs 399. This is similar to what streaming giant Netflix offers to its users. As of now, Netflix offers plans priced at Rs 199, Rs 499, Rs 649, and Rs 799 giving access to two screens for mobile plans and four screens for the rest. Netflix on its website notes that only people who users live with can use their account. And enables users to watch on four different devices at the same time with Premium, two with Standard, and one with Basic and Mobile. While mobile and basic plan give access to shows in 480p, the Standard and Premium give quality in 1080 p and 4K + HDR respectively
