While the answer to this question needs to be decided by the user himself, there are few facts that one must take into account while coming to a conclusion.

1. Resellers are tied up with not one or two cellular operators. They are in agreement with almost all mobile service providers in the country existing today.

Hence for a user who has two or more prepaid connections from multiple telecom operators can use the reseller site or App as a centralized platform to carry out airtel recharge, recharge of his other prepaid connections and pay the bill for his mobile expenses, irrespective of the type or name of the operator.
2. Other than recharges and bill payments, most trusted and worthy resellers offer services pertaining to DTH recharge, landline bill payments, electricity bill payments, water and gas bill payments, booking of movie tickets, booking of train and air tickets, booking of hotel rooms, advance booking of bus tickets and metro refills, e-shopping and many such services. One App and multiple functions can be performed using it. It is a good saviour of time and is a smarter way of getting things done.
3. Most resellers offer cross-service discount coupons and promo offers. This means that you use the App for an airtel recharge there are chance that you win a cash back offer on the recharge value plus get a discount on any other service being provided by the reseller, say, a discount on ordering food from the platform.
