Top 10 Netflix Alternatives (Free and Paid)
We’ve provided both free and premium Netflix alternatives for a wide spectrum of viewers throughout this piece. In the table below, expand it and switch to whichever streaming service you want to know more about. We also have an explanation of why you should change your subscription to Netflix before looking into other options.
Paid Netflix Alternatives
1. Hulu
If you’re looking for an online streaming service similar to Netflix but is less expensive and has an extensive library of films as well as TV shows and original content, Hulu should be your first choice. With regard to the size of its catalog, Hulu is nowhere near Netflix with its 3000plus titles. It has however worked with top studios in order to bring classic TV shows such as The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Frasier, etc to its streaming platforms. The most recent and well-known shows include only murders inside the Building, The Handmaid’s Tale, How I Met Your Father, The Dropout, Abbott Elementary, and more. These have received praise from audiences and critics alike.
The basic plan starts at $6.99 monthly and is ad-supported and able to be streamed across two screens at the same time. But, I’d suggest that you sign up for the bundle package that includes the entire Disney+ and ESPN+ content, as well as Hulu movies and shows costing $13.99 each month. If you’re looking for an online streaming platform similar to Netflix which has TV live channels in that case also, Hulu is a better option. With the $75.99 monthly subscription, you will be able to access the content of Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, and live TV, with unlimited recording.
Pros
- 3000+ movies and shows
- Popular shows and originals available
- Disney+, ESPN+, live TV available
Cons
- Shows ads under the base plan
2. Apple TV+
I believe that Apple TV+ is churning out better original programming and films as compared to Netflix. Yes, Apple TV+ does not have an extensive collection of films and shows right currently, but it has original programming that goes on to receive awards and praise. Some of the most-loved Apple TV+ shows are Ted Lasso, the recently-released Severance, Tehran, and many others. I am a huge fan of Apple’s original movies which include The Tragedy of Macbeth, the Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Coda, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Greyhound, The Sky is Everywhere, and many more.
When it comes to top-quality video content Apple TV+ is far superior to Netflix. The best part is the fact that Apple TV+ is very inexpensive starting at $4.99 each month and is accessible across every platform, which is not the case with other Apple services. It is possible to play Apple TV+ on your PC, browser gaming consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation Smart televisions, streaming devices, and of course, all Apple devices. I strongly suggest Apple TV+ in place of Netflix to enjoy a low-cost and surprisingly enjoyable experience.
Pros
- Excellent selection of Originals
- Quite cheaper than Netflix
- Available on almost all platforms
Cons
- Smaller catalog than Netflix
