Hey, listen up! Airtel has dropped a pretty cool offer that might actually save you some money.
Right now, they are giving away 12 months of Adobe Express subscription absolutely free to all their users. Doesn't matter if you are using Airtel DTH, Airtel Wi-Fi, or Airtel mobile service—everyone gets it.
This is actually Airtel's second partnership of this kind. Earlier they tied up with Plex, and now this Adobe Express deal. You can see the pattern here—telecom companies are not able to make much money from their main services these days, so they are throwing in these extra goodies to make their plans look more attractive and value-for-money.
The Jio vs Airtel Battle
You must have heard that Jio is giving 18 months of Gemini and Google AI subscription with their plans. That too with 2TB cloud storage, Gemini Advanced, and all those AI features. Keeping that in mind, Airtel has also come up with something similar now.
The good part? You don't need to recharge any special plan for this. Whatever normal plan you are using right now, just continue with that and you get free Adobe Express for one full year.
What Exactly is Adobe Express?
Now, what is this Adobe Express thing and who is it actually for? See, Adobe Express works on mobile app as well as computer. You can use it on multiple devices. You get 100GB storage and 250 AI credits every month.
Basically, if you are a content creator, designer, or running a small company that deals with designing stuff, video editing, making advertisements, creating flyers, graphics, or good-looking documents—this is perfect for you.
- Make YouTube thumbnails
- Design logos
- Video editing using AI
- Generate photos with AI
- Create clip art
- All those awesome things creators need
Normally, if you go to buy this yourself, you have to pay ₹4000. But with Airtel, it is coming free. Of course, nothing is truly free—you have to keep using Airtel's service. But still, it is a solid deal.
Is It Better Than Jio's Offer?
Honestly speaking, this cannot directly compete with Jio's offer. Why? Because Adobe Express is not useful for everyone. Not everybody wants to generate graphics or create AI photos, right? But still, it can help Airtel gain some customers here and there. Something is better than nothing, after all.
Should You Switch to Airtel for This?
If you are already using Airtel, then definitely try this out. No harm in getting something worth ₹4000 for free. But would we recommend buying a new Airtel SIM just for this offer? Probably not.
See, Airtel's plans are somewhat expensive compared to others. Even their similar plans give less data. And their 5G network doesn't work properly in many areas yet.
But for creators and people who anyway use Adobe products for their work, this is an awesome thing. So if you have Airtel, don't let this opportunity go. Use it for sure for the next 12 months.
What About Vodafone Idea?
For all you Jio users out there—Jio's offer is still the top deal in the market right now. Two terabytes of cloud space is huge, plus all those AI features. If you have both SIMs, enjoy both offers and have fun!
Now Vodafone Idea is left behind. Maybe they will also come up with something similar soon. We might see a lot more AI-related offers from telecom companies in the coming days.
The AI Controversy
By the way, there is some news going around that Grok (that AI which was making weird photos and videos) has stopped that feature now. There is a lot of drama happening around AI these days, and honestly, we really need some proper laws for AI now.
