Infinity earns roughly double on Tata brands and high-value UPI use, and its fee is the price of that gap. Light Tata users should stay on Plus.
Pick Neu Infinity if you shop Tata brands monthly and use UPI heavily; the higher NeuCoin earn covers the fee.
Pick Neu Plus if your Tata spends are occasional; you keep the ecosystem benefits at a much lower fee.
