Over the last year, in the pursuit of entertainment while stuck indoors, you might’ve subscribed to more streaming services. But now you may be looking to save some cash because — if we’re honest — you really don’t need to pay for every streaming service, especially when there are already many free TV streaming and free movie streaming services available, and even options to replace every paid streaming service with a free one.
But there are so many streaming services on the market today that it can be hard enough to choose one to watch, let alone what to get rid of.
You have your established heavy hitters (a la Netflix and Hulu), your newer-to-streaming powerhouses (like Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus), your traditional networks getting into the game (such as Paramount Plus, HBO Max and NBC’s Peacock), your startups and your wildcards (see the now-defunct Quibi).
