Are OTT bundles worth it?

I have recently gotten my household to completely ditch the traditional cable TV and am exploring my options as to how I can go about the subscriptions to different OTTs, live TV can be sorted out through DistroTV and JioTV through Kodi. But I am confused as to if I should go with a bundle of OTTs like Tata Play Binge or OTTplay or just buy the ones that I think are required separately. As the former is cheaper and also provides additional content, I wanted to know if it was any good. I ones that I require are:
  1. JioHotstar
  2. Zee
  3. Sony Liv
  4. FanCode
I also want then to be able to run in at least 3 separate devices at the same time. If any one has tried both of the ways how has your experience been?
Thank you for your time.

I would love a service which allows customized bundling of only the subscriptions needed.

Well that is what I wanna know, they do mention that prime is only available till 720p only on 2 devices and you get 1 day free shipping. But other than that there wasn't anything else mentioned. Also I don't really care for Netflix and already have a prime subscription.

Pretty limited in my opinion and they bundle all the crap that I don't need. I was looking for a customized bundle of Netflix, Apple TV, Jiohotstar, Hoichoi, Zee and Sony Liv.
I suppose these are more oriented towards mobile or tablet and not a TV. Anyways..

depends on what you watch, live sports you can get anywhere, other than very niche shows, soaps and programmes, OTT platforms are pretty much useless unless you know exactly what you want to watch, it has none of the fun of channel surfing. Maybe invest in plex? debris? etc etc
 
I have a similar query to the OP.

PlayBox TV has an OTT pack where they allow JioHotstar + SonyLIV + Fancode with some other local OTT bundle.
They have and android TV and phone app as well.

I need the functionality of playing JioHostar and SonyLIV in their respective apps instead of playing them through the PlayBox TV app. PlayBox TV app is buggy on the Android TV platform and sometimes doesn't remember previously viewed content and allow resume from last seen point.

PlayBox has a current discount running wherein I can get the LIV and Hostar bundle for 899 per annum.

If the ability to play via respective native apps is present, the subscription becomes a no brainer as I have to pay 899 for JioHostar Super + 1499 for SonyLIV premium.

Any opinions? Or should I take a monthly pack to test if this works the way I want it?

If you only wanna watch on mobile that seems like a good offer just go through the terms and conditions to see if there are any hidden things like regarding ads and all.

When I select Choose Plan in the Get 15 OTT Apps It does not allow more than 6 which is not fair as at least 10 OTT Apps should have been given as primary remaining secondary

When I select Choose Plan in the Get 33 OTT Apps It does not allow me to select which OTTs need to be selected as primary and which to be secondary like in below plan and thereby giving some discount if not choosing any OTT which if it is less than 15 as primary

It would have been perfect.
