So to help you decide, our experts at Prune have drawn a detailed comparison of the plans offered by these companies for you to make an informed choice. From the difference in prices to benefits, there’s a lot you can look into before you make your purchase of a new mobile recharge plan.

While the Airtel and Voda plans are very tightly packed together and hardly much to choose from, the Jio plans in all the categories are cheaper by 15-30% cheaper in the 28 days category with 2Gb per day plans. In the 1 GB per day, 28 days validity plans the Jio plans are about 12% cheaper than the highest in the category. 

But it becomes interesting from the 1.5 GB per day for 28 days variety the plans become the same price.

This trend continues in the 56 days with both the 1.5Gb and 2GB variety and the difference completely goes away, and the prices are stacked up together. In these 56 days validity and 2 GB a day, Airtel is most expensive by Rs. 16 and VI is Rs.6 as compared to Jio, in other words, Airtel is expensive by 3% only.

The 84 days Validity is Jio which is the cheapest with a 16% discount on Airtel which is priced at 455 against Jio’s Rs. 399 pricing in the fixed data benefit plans.

In the case of 1.5 GB and 2GB per day plans with 84 days validity, Jio is cheaper by about 8% and 16% respectively, while Airtel and VI are pricing exactly at the same point.
