A few years ago, SMS messages were very popular. But then came the era of smartphones and traditional SMS texts were replaced by (almost) free online messengers.Whatsapp became the most popular platform of chatting online .
One of reason was that there was no other such platform . But now there is a list of social messaging apps like Line,chinese Wechat,Skype and many more.
Yes , how can we forget our desi Hike.While facing stiff competition from these messengers, the desi Hike messenger has really taken Whatsapp by storm, at least in India. This has started the battle – Whatsapp vs Hike. Whatsapp is becoming old as our friend Orkut :D.
. Hike is Providing better stuff than whatsapp in every aspect . So lets see what are the benefits of Hike messenge over Whatsapp ....
1. Allowable Media Size and Media Quality
Hike allows a maximum of 100MB of size per file against a mere 16MB on Whatsapp. However, it may be agreed that 16MB is more than enough for images and audio files, but the video files are easily greater than 16MB creating a problem for the users.
Also, Whatsapp has the option of trimming and compressing the videos which degrade the original quality. Also, quality of the transferred images is altered too.
2. Document Support
Whatsapp does not support document formats.
Hike supports document formats like .ppt, .docx, .pdf etc. One advantage that users have here is that they can transfer document files of upto 100MB while most email clients only provide with 25MB limit
3. Referral Rewards And Free Coupons
Hike made its user base of 20 million by luring users into downloading the app and rewarding them with talktime recharges. Hike pays Rs. 20 for each successful referral and Rs. 15 to the new user who signs up. The user can redeem the money as a talktime for his phone after the minimum earning of Rs. 50. If you are on postpaid plan then after the hike reward redemption, your next bill amount will get reduced by the amount you redeemed.
