FAQs

What is the most affordable streaming service with live TV? ›

The cheapest live TV services for cord-cutting are the free ones like Pluto TV and Tubi. These are called "FAST" streaming services (Free Advertising Supported Streaming Television). The cheapest cable alternatives are Philo, Sling TV, Frndly TV, and Paramount+.

Hulu + Live TV earns our highest recommendation since it boasts 95+ channels and includes on-demand access to Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus. But if you're on a budget, an entry-level service like Philo could be all you need. It's missing local channels and sports networks, but it's only $25 a month.

Prime Video offers the most 'excellent' quality (8+ IMDb score) movies per $1 spent on its cheapest subscription ($8.99 per month) at 45 movies per dollar. Netflix offers the most 'excellent' quality (8+ IMDb score) TV shows (837), more than its nearest competitor: Hulu on Disney+ (637).

If you have an eligible T-mobile plan, you can get access to Hulu included under one monthly bill from T-mobile. You can confirm if you are billed by T-mobile on your Hulu Account page in the Payment Information section.

Streaming is still (usually) cheaper. If you want to have the cable TV experience without the fees and contracts, then live TV streaming is the next best thing. These services can offer a program guide, DVR and most of the familiar channels you're used to with cable.

A Roku account is completely free and there are no monthly equipment rental fees, making streaming and saving easy. Adding a payment method lets you easily rent or buy movies on demand or subscribe to popular services like Netflix.

If the quantity of films and television shows is your goal, Amazon's streaming service, Prime Video, boasts "a vast library of content," according to CableTV.com. And Disney+ may just be the best streaming service for families, given its mountain of kid and family-friendly content.

Yes. It's hard to find a better value for your dollar when spending on a streaming service. Hulu Plus Live TV is $76.99 monthly and gives you 90+ live channels, Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. You also get unlimited DVR space.

The first consideration should be whether you want to be able to watch live channels. If that's the case, you may want to use Pluto TV, Sling Free, Xumo, Peaco*ck or the Roku Channel. If you only care about finding movies and TV shows on-demand, then try Freevee, Peaco*ck, Crackle, Tubi or Vudu.

What company gives you Hulu for free? ›

Go5G Next plan subscribers can now get free ad-supported Hulu at no additional cost. Good news for T-Mobile subscribers: you now get free Hulu. That is if you're on a few specific plans. And, of course, "free" always comes with a few catches, like ads.

The main downside of T-Mobile internet is its unpredictable download speeds. They can range from anywhere between 72-245 Mbps, and will vary depending on your location. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet speeds cap out at less than 300 Mbps, too, which can be an insufficient speed for large households.

The cheapest cable TV services are offered by Spectrum and Xfinity. TV service from these companies is widely available and both providers offer lots of channels for $50/month or less.

Media companies are charging more as they struggle to transition from profitable but declining business models — like traditional television channels — to on-demand streaming services, many of which are still losing money.
