The streaming landscape is more complex than ever. A decade ago, consumers basically had three options for on-demand streaming: Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Now, there are dozens and dozens of services to choose from—from big streamers like HBO Max and Disney+, to more niche options like BritBox and Crunchyroll, to live TV services like Youtube TV and Sling—and each one has multiple options for pricing, discounts, and bundling deals. Plus, many streamers are increasing prices due to inflation and subscriber loss. Part of the reason so many companies have shifted to a monthly subscription model is because they know it’s difficult to keep track of all the options and are counting on you to be confused so they can make as much money as possible.
So what can you do to lower your monthly streaming bill? With so much to choose from, it’s easy to lose track of how much you’re spending total every month and hard to understand if you’re getting the best deal. We looked for an easy way to compare all the different streaming services and costs, but we realized there isn’t a central resource that lists all the different prices, deals, free trials, discounts, and password sharing policies. So we made one. You can use this chart as a resource to easily see how much you’re spending monthly on your streaming bill and make choices about what to keep and what to get rid of. Hopefully you’ll save some money in the process!
