ZEE5 has been a successful streaming platform in India. Despite its competition from OTT content platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and Amazon Prime Video, ZEE5 has been able to create a unique market space for itself. This happened because the OTT giant focused more on catering to the needs of Indian streamers offering them ‘Hindi’ based content. A new subscription plan ‘ZEE5 Club’ has been launched for the users. It comes for Rs 365. That’s not a monthly subscription fee but an annual subscription fee making it quite cheap.
ZEE Club Competing Against Disney+ Hotstar VIP Subscription
The new ZEE5 Club plan will cost Rs 365 which means it is in direct competition with the Disney+ Hotstar VIP plan. The Disney+ Hotstar VIP plan comes for a cost of Rs 399. Both ZEE5 Club and Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscriptions come at almost similar price and annual subscription benefit.
With the ZEE5 Club subscription, the user will get access to content in all the languages there are in the ZEE5 Premium subscription (12 languages). The benefit of taking this subscription is that users will get to see popular television shows such as ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ and more before they are aired to TV.
Along with that, there are more than 1,000+ movies included in the ZEE5 Club subscription compared to 4,500+ movies offered with the ZEE5 Premium subscription. Users of this subscription service will also get to see 90+ Live TV channels.
