How to choose a Netflix alternative

Start with what you actually watch. If you want current-season network TV, a service with next-day episodes may fit better than Netflix. If you want the lowest monthly cost, compare the ad-supported tiers across services. If you want a specific franchise or live sports, pick the service that carries it.

Most services bill monthly, and several also offer annual plans that can lower the effective monthly cost. Confirm current pricing on the official pages linked below before deciding.
