Online content is slowly becoming the next big thing in India. In this year alone, we have seen several online streaming content services making their way to India that includes some of the major names such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video.
With the entrance of foreign brands, telecom brands such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone came out with their video streaming apps. Airtel Movies (formerly known as Wynk Movies) was launched in August 2015, whereas the Vodafone Play began in February 2016. So, what does these content streaming services from these two rivals offer?

With the Airtel Movies and Vodafone Play, you can stream movies online with just one click. Both the apps have a vast number of movies to watch from top channels such as the Eros Now, Sony LIV, HOOQ, etc.
2) Vodafone Play is a Complete Package
Having said that, the Vodafone Play application is one standalone application that has everything in it. You can stream music as well, whereas, in Airtel, you need to download an additional app called ‘Wynk Music’ to stream music online. It’s a good thing to have separate apps, but some people might feel that having everything at one place is a good choice.
