If you are here, the chances are that you love streaming your favorite movies and TV series from your TV as soon as they are released. The problem is that Netflix is now not the only great live streaming program. Today there are many more excellent TV series streaming services, some with features to rival Netflix. Thus, surfing the internet and comparing the best streaming services among the top five brands listed on google can be daunting. So, in this article, we shall take that burden off your shoulder by comparing the three most popular live-streaming platforms.What to Consider When Choosing the Most Suitable Streaming Platform
The type of original series you want and its availability on the chosen platform. Not all TV shows are aired on all streaming platforms. There are dramas series that is only aired on specific streaming services. For instance, ‘The White Darkness’ is aired in May only on Apple TV. Some streaming platforms like Netflix restrict certain content to America. Hence if you are traveling around the world, Netflix may not be your first choice of streaming platform because it does not feature your favorite TV shows from your current geographical location unless the device you are using is a VPN.
You could also consider whether a streaming service offers a back catalog of old movies and TV shows, especially if you are one of those people who watch their favorite movies or dramas more than once. Other factors may influence your choices, such as kids whose movie content is quite different from yours and the subscription cost. Some streaming services offer great affordable prices for TV series, while others provide streaming services for free. If you are on a tight budget, Netflix may not be your first choice because the hike in subscription fees keeps rising. Now, streaming websites like Amazon Prime Video, which other these services at a much lower price, have started gathering popularity.
Which is the Most Suitable Streaming Platform?
Netflix
Netflix, HBO Go, and Amazon Prime Video are some streaming platforms with growing popularity. However, Netflix viewership ratings have increased faster than the other platforms since it began grabbing attention from viewers for airing big original hits like Ozark, Bridgerton, and Stranger Things in 2022. Additionally, Netflix has scooped several awards and praise, which have significantly contributed to the platform’s high ratings.
If you have not yet tried out Netflix, you might like it because of a few great features. Firstly, it has a great back catalog for old movies, and hence if you missed out on one of your favorite TV series when you were on vacation, Netflix is the place to get it. This platform also offers you a wide variety of original series and network shows that you can access using a VPN with Samsung TV, especially if you are not in the US. Most viewers like Netflix because it releases new content every week. The platform is also relatively affordable. The basic monthly plan starts at $10, while the standard plan is $15.50 a month.
Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is another great platform that offers you a lot of ad-free original movies and series. It also has an impressive catalog of older series, some of which may be unfamiliar to you. Some of the popular TV series that it airs include New York Yankees and NFL. What’s more, Prime Video allows you also to stream MLB games live for this season.
However, this platform does not have most of the Hulu, Netflix, and Disney catalogs. Its menu is also confusing because the paid content is mixed in with the unpaid content. Besides these downsides, this is s excellent channel to catch up on original hits like The Boys, The Wheel of Time, and the Lord of the Rings prologue. Additionally, you only need to pay a stand-alone fee of $9 a month to access all its original series.
HBO Go
HBO Go is a favorite among people who love watching movies and dramas on the go. It comes with no extra cost for this added feature for subscribers that have already scribed to HBO. It has an attractive and easy-to-use interface too. It has a solid streaming collection for both adults and kids, so it’s a great app to keep kids busy while traveling.
My suggestions may or may not fit your entertainment needs to perfection. However, this is a collection of great streaming platforms that could perfectly suit your need. But hopefully, this guide has given you some insights on what to consider when choosing a streaming platform.
