Comparison and Verdict
The Rs 189 plan is effectively 34% more expensive than Jio's plan. In the long run, recharging with Jio's plan multiple times will save you a lot more money. Further, with Jio, you get one GB extra data over Airtel's plan. So that saves you from the need of recharging with a data pack in case your 1GB data is over fast.
Jio's 4G coverage is better than Airtel's throughout India, as confirmed by multiple Opensignal reports across India. Thus, in our view, recharging with the Rs 189 plan from Jio is a better deal for most people (for whom Jio's networks cover them well) than Airtel's Rs 189 plan. Both plans are available for customers in all the telecom circles of the country.
