Komparify.com launched new version of Planhound, an award winning android mobile app recently. The app measures mobile usage, recommends the best mobile plans based on a user’s usage and lets users buy them on the phone.
The new version of Planhound is updated with revolutionary new technology. It has 3 tentpole features. One, it lets you monitor and manage all connections you own with live recharge and data balances. Second, it alerts you at “the moment of truth” – the right time to recharge or pay your bills. Third, it lets you pay for your recharges and bill payments using a variety of payment options including “Ola Money”.
Planhound 2.0 automatically detects all connections owned by a user – across mobile, internet (wired and wireless), landline and DTH – even if they were not recharged on the app or Komparify.com. It gives a user live balances of each connection and alerts them at the moment of truth i.e. the right time to renew their packs, top-up their talktime balance, recharge their DTH connection or pay their postpaid bills. It can also unify all the connections owned by a family in the cloud if they have planhound installed on multiple devices.
Mr. Jigar Doshi, Co-Founder, komarify.com says: “A standard data pack has some data limit – say 1GB and is valid for say 28 days. Your data pack can expire if you have used up your 1GB limit or your 28 days are over. Planhound alerts users on how much balance is left on their data pack and when it expires. It is smart enough to alert you at the right time to renew. It will also give you auto-recommendations based on your usage and the latest packs available and let you finish your recharge in a jiffy, with just a tap, like Magic!”
It saves users money in two ways – by auto-recommending the latest plans optimized based on a user’s usage and reminding a user at the right time to renew or recharge their connection.
Mr. Ankit Chhajer, Co-Founder, komarify.com adds, “Planhound is not just a recharge app, it is a smart assistant who will take all the effort, do the right analysis for you and alert when it is time to take an action. With the new Planhound 2.0 launch, Komparify also announces an Ola Money partnership where all Ola users can now use their Ola Money balances to recharge / pay bills and get instant benefits. So millions of Ola Cab users have more reasons to keep a balance in their wallet. The Ola Money wallet can be used not just to enjoy cashless rides but also for recharges and bill payments.”
Planhound’s eventual goal is to help users keep tab on their usage, balances and suggest them better plan options to switch to – within the same service provider or across service providers. Komparify has done this successfully with DTH by helping users compare DTH providers and their packages and letting users buy it completely online. Komparify has sold close to 20000 DTH connections across India. Komparify wants to bring the same experience to switching connections across Mobile and Internet (wired & wireless) services. With the impending launch and growth of 4G in India and more users switch to faster connections, Komparify will help people compare and buy these connections through Planhound.
Komparify currently has over a million monthly users and plan to scale to 10 million users. They are operationally profitable and growing 4x to 5x year on year.
Planhound is available on Google Play Store .
