Quick answer

A yearly plan only saves money if you use it long enough. With ₹199 a month or ₹1,499 a year, the yearly plan pays off after 7.5 months. If you will use it for 8 months or more, pay yearly; for a few months around a cricket season or a series release, pay monthly and cancel.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the monthly and yearly prices from the app.
  2. Be honest about how many months you will use it.
  3. Pick the cheaper plan and set a reminder before renewal.

Formula

Monthly cost = monthly price × months used

Break-even months = yearly price ÷ monthly price

Prices change often. Check the current plan price in the app before you pay.

Frequently asked questions

Do yearly plans auto-renew?
Most do, through UPI AutoPay or card mandates. You can cancel auto-renewal in the app or in your UPI app's mandates list.
Are quarterly plans worth it?
Treat a quarterly plan as 3 monthly payments and compare the per-month price.
Can I share a subscription?
Only if the plan allows it. Family plans are often cheaper per person.
