Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecom operator, offers three distinct prepaid options that bundle a free subscription to JioHotstar: the full ₹949 prepaid plan and two data-only vouchers (₹195 and ₹100). The ₹949 plan is clearly positioned as the flagship choice due to its massive additional benefits.
The Flagship Plan: Jio ₹949 Prepaid
This plan is the only one of the three to offer full service validity and a slew of extra perks, positioning it as a comprehensive package for the user.

| Feature | Detail |
| Service Validity | 84 days |
| Daily Data | 2GB per day (speed drops to 64 \text{ Kbps} after FUP) |
| Calling/SMS | Unlimited voice calling + 100 SMS/day |
| JioHotstar | Mobile/TV subscription for three months |
Exclusive Benefits: This plan goes far beyond basic connectivity, offering significant value-adds:
-
Google Gemini Pro Plan: 18 months’ access, valued at ₹35,100 (for users aged 18+).
-
JioFinance: 1\% extra gold.
-
JioHome: Two months free trial on a new connection.
-
JioAICloud: 50GB of cloud storage.
The Data Vouchers: ₹195 and ₹100
These two options are data vouchers, meaning they do not come with service validity. They require an active base plan to function, serving primarily to add data and the JioHotstar benefit to an existing account.

| Plan | Validity | Total Data Benefit | JioHotstar Access | Requirement |
| ₹195 Plan | 90 days | 15GB | Mobile/TV subscription for 90 days | Active base plan is essential. |
| ₹100 Plan | 30 days | 5GB | Mobile/TV subscription for 30 days | Active base plan is essential. |
The key differentiation point is that the $₹949$ plan provides a substantial three-month entertainment package, while the data vouchers offer shorter, focused access to data and streaming services.
