Story TV hooks you with a free first episode, and soon you're 20 episodes into a revenge drama and the next one is locked. So how much does Story TV Premium cost, which plan makes sense, and is it worth paying for? Here's a clear breakdown based on Story TV's official policy and the prices shown on the app stores in October 2026.
What Is Story TV Premium?
According to Story TV's official policy, Story TV Premium is a subscription that gives you unlimited viewing of all shows in the app for as long as your plan is active. Story TV's founder has also said that premium users watch without ads. Without premium, you can install the app and watch the free episodes, but most series lock after the opening episodes.
Story TV Plans and Durations
Story TV's refund policy lists four subscription lengths. Note that a "month" here is 4 weeks, not a calendar month:
| Plan | Official duration | Auto-renews? |
|---|---|---|
| Trial | 3 days | Yes, into a paid plan |
| Monthly | 28 days | Yes |
| Quarterly ("3 months") | 84 days | Yes |
| Annual ("12 months") | 360 days | Yes |
Story TV Premium Price (October 2026)
Story TV changes prices often and shows different offers to different users, so treat these as reference points, not fixed rates:
| Where | Price seen | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play (Android) | ₹10 – ₹999 per item | Official in-app purchase range on the Play listing |
| App Store – 3 months | ₹599 / ₹699 | Two quarterly price points listed |
| App Store – 12 months | ₹1,099 | Annual plan |
| Trial offer (user reports) | ₹1 | Google Play reviewers report renewals of ₹399–₹549 after the trial |
Always check the final amount on the payment screen inside the app before you confirm. That price is the one you'll be charged.
Which Plan Is Best Value?
Here's the cost per day using the App Store prices above:
- Annual at ₹1,099 ÷ 360 days ≈ ₹3 per day. This is the cheapest option if you watch most days.
- Quarterly at ₹599–₹699 ÷ 84 days ≈ ₹7–₹8 per day. A middle option if you're not sure you'll stay a full year.
- Repeated renewals at ₹399–₹549 (the amounts users report after a trial) cost far more per day if they cover only 28 days.
If you only want to finish one show, a short plan plus cancelling autopay right after you subscribe is the safest way to control what you spend. You keep access until the plan ends either way.
What Can You Watch for Free?
- The opening episodes of most shows.
- Clips and promos on Story TV's official YouTube (@storytv_asia) and Instagram (@storytv.official).
- Story TV has also said it plans a free, ad-supported tier. Check the app for any free-with-ads option in your account.
Be wary of "premium unlocked" mods. They're unsafe and can get your account banned. Here's why.
How to Buy Story TV Premium Safely
- Install the official Story TV app (v1.2.11) and log in with your mobile number.
- Open any locked episode or go to Profile → Subscription.
- Pick a plan and read the renewal amount and date carefully.
- Pay with UPI, card or Google Play billing.
- Take a screenshot of the plan details and note the renewal date in your calendar.
Is Story TV Premium Worth It?
Worth it if: you watch microdramas daily, enjoy Hindi or South Indian short series, and pick a longer plan for the lower per-day cost.
Skip it if: you watch only occasionally. The free episodes and official clips may be enough, and you won't have to track renewals.
Remember that all Story TV purchases are non-refundable except for duplicate charges or technical failures, so choose deliberately.
