📱 Compare Mobile Plans
Enter the plan details below to find out which is Cheapest to Keep and which is Cheapest for Data.
Choosing the right prepaid mobile plan can be confusing. Telecom companies like Airtel, Jio, Vi, and BSNL offer hundreds of plans with different prices, validity periods, and data allowances. The plan that looks cheap upfront might not be the best value for your needs. This is where a mobile plan comparison tool becomes useful.
The Compare Mobile Plans tool on OnDiscount.in helps you figure out which prepaid plan is actually the cheapest for your usage. Instead of manually calculating costs per day or per GB, you enter the plan details and the tool does the math for you. It shows you two clear winners, the plan that is cheapest to keep your SIM active and the plan that gives you the cheapest data.
The telecommunications network in India is the second largest in the world, with over 1.33 billion subscribers. With so many people using mobile phones, finding the right prepaid plan has become an important decision. The Compare Mobile Plans tool simplifies this decision by focusing on what really matters, the daily cost and the cost per GB.
How to Use the Tool
Using the mobile plan comparison tool is simple. Follow these steps.
First, enter the details of the first plan you want to compare. You need to fill in three fields, the price of the plan in rupees, the validity period in days, and the data you get in GB. You also need to select whether the data is given per day or as a total for the whole validity period.
Second, click the “Add Another Plan” button to add more plans. You can compare as many plans as you want. Each new plan gets numbered automatically, so you can keep track easily.
Third, click the “Compare Plans” button. The tool processes your inputs and shows you the results instantly. You do not need to wait for a page reload.
The results are shown in two cards. The first card shows the plan that is cheapest to keep your SIM active. This is the plan with the lowest cost per day. The second card shows the plan that is cheapest for data. This is the plan with the lowest cost per GB.
You can also click the “Show All Plans Breakdown” button to see a full table with all the plans you entered. The table shows the price, validity, total data, cost per day, and cost per GB for every plan. The winning plans are highlighted so you can spot them easily.
Example
Suppose you are confused between three prepaid plans. Plan A costs ₹299 and gives 1.5 GB data per day for 56 days. Plan B costs ₹499 and gives 2 GB data per day for 84 days. Plan C costs ₹199 and gives 2 GB total data for 28 days.
You enter these three plans into the Compare Mobile Plans tool. The tool calculates the cost per day and cost per GB for each plan.
Plan A costs ₹5.34 per day and ₹3.56 per GB. Plan B costs ₹5.94 per day and ₹2.97 per GB. Plan C costs ₹7.11 per day and ₹3.55 per GB.
The tool shows you that Plan A is the cheapest to keep your SIM active because it has the lowest cost per day. Plan B is the cheapest for data because it has the lowest cost per GB. Plan C is not the winner in either category, but the full breakdown table shows you all the numbers so you can see why.
This example shows how the tool helps you make a better decision. The ₹199 plan looks cheap at first glance, but it actually costs more per day than the ₹299 plan. The ₹499 plan gives you the most data for your money, but you pay more each day to keep your SIM active. The tool presents these insights clearly so you can choose based on what matters to you. By using this tool you can easily know which prepaid plan is the cheapest to keep the sim active or cheapest for data.
Why Compare Mobile Plans
Comparing mobile plans is not just about finding the lowest price. It is about understanding the true cost of a plan. A plan with a higher price might have a longer validity period, which makes it cheaper per day. A plan with a lower price might have very little data, which makes it expensive per GB.
Many people recharge a plan without checking these details. They see a price and assume it is a good deal. But when you calculate the cost per day and cost per GB, you often find that another plan offers better value. The Compare Mobile Plans tool does these calculations for you in seconds.
Prepaid plans change frequently. Telecom operators revise their prices and validity periods. A plan that was cheap last month might not be cheap this month. The tool helps you stay informed by letting you compare any plans you come across. You do not need to rely on outdated comparisons from other websites.
The tool is also useful for people who have multiple SIM cards. If you use one SIM for calls and another for data, you can compare plans for each SIM separately. You can find the cheapest plan to keep your primary SIM active and the cheapest plan for data on your secondary SIM.
