Common questions about streaming services.
How many streaming services does the average person need?
Most households do well with 2-3 paid services plus free options. The key is choosing services that complement each other — one for movies, one for original series, and maybe one for sports or live TV. Rotate services seasonally to watch everything you want.
Is the ad-supported tier worth it?
Often yes. Ad-supported tiers are typically 50-70% cheaper and have 4-5 minutes of ads per hour — less than cable TV. Some services like Netflix and Disney+ have minimal ads. It’s a great way to try services before committing to ad-free.
What’s the best way to watch live sports without cable?
It depends on your sports. YouTube TV or Hulu Live cover most major sports. ESPN+ is essential for UFC and some soccer. Peacock has Premier League and NFL. FuboTV is best for international soccer. Check which services carry your specific teams.
Can I share streaming accounts with family?
Most services allow sharing within a household. Netflix, Disney+, and Max now charge extra for sharing outside your home. Family plans from Spotify and Apple Music allow up to 6 accounts. Always check the current terms as policies change frequently.
How do I find out what’s on each streaming service?
Use apps like JustWatch or Reelgood to search for specific shows/movies across all services. Our comparison pages also list notable exclusive content for each platform to help you decide which services have what you want to watch.
Are annual plans worth it?
If you’re committed to a service, yes. Annual plans typically save 15-20% compared to monthly billing. However, only go annual if you’re certain you’ll use the service all year. For services you might cancel, stick with monthly.
