Sony LIV subscription plans: Price, Benefits
There are as many as four Sony Liv plans in India right now, each with its own set of content and benefits. There is a free membership as well that lets you enjoy select TV shows and movies, including The Kapil Sharma Show and TMKOC, on SonyLiv app and website for free without registration. That said, the free service is ad-supported and doesn’t include live sports, TV channels, and other titles that you get with Sony Liv Premium, Special+, Special, and WWE network plans.
1. Sony Liv Premium plan
Starting with the Sony Liv premium plan, it’s available with monthly, semi-annual, and annual memberships. These memberships come with similar benefits and catalogue of content, including Live sports, TV channels, Sony Liv original TV shows and movies such as Scam 1992, and Hollywood movies. However, the yearly and six-month memberships support two screens simultaneously, whereas the Sony Liv Premium monthly membership works on just one screen at a time. The plan also supports offline download, up to five profiles, and no ads (except in live TV channels). The SonyLiv Premium monthly membership is priced at Rs 299, whereas the yearly and six-month memberships cost Rs 699 and Rs 999 respectively.
