How we rank. "From $/mo" is the cheapest tier where offered, and the free services (Tubi, Pluto, Roku Channel, Kanopy and more) cost nothing at all, worth trying before you pay. Sort by ad-free price, max resolution (4K vs HD), simultaneous streams or free trial length to find the right fit. The real saving isn't the cheapest one, it's not stacking four at once: rotate, subscribe, binge, cancel, move on. The calculator shows your yearly total so you can see what rotating saves. Prices are indicative USD, checked periodically, confirm on the service's site.

Common questions

How much does streaming cost per month on average?

Most homes pay for 3-4 services and spend roughly $40-60/mo, often without watching them all. Add yours up above to see the real figure.

What's the cheapest way to watch everything?

Rotate. Subscribe to one, binge, cancel, move to the next. Paying for one at a time instead of stacking four can cut the bill by more than half over a year.

Is the ad-free tier worth it?

Ad-free usually costs about double the ad tier. If you watch a lot it can be worth it, but ad tiers have improved and are the cheapest way in. Toggle the calculator to compare.

Which service has the most content?

Prime Video and Netflix have the biggest catalogues, Max leads prestige TV, Disney+ leads family. Best value depends on what you actually watch.
