Whose offer is more powerful?
If you just want more data at a lower price, then Jio is better for you. Cheap short-term packs like 1GB for Rs 19 and bundles of regional OTT (Sony LIV, ZEE5, Sun NXT etc.) give an advantage. On the other hand, Airtel is ahead in premium OTT packages. Platforms like Netflix, JioHotstar, ZEE5 and Airtel Xstream Play are available in a single recharge, making it perfect for entertainment lovers.
