Amazon Prime Video

Best for Movies

Price Range: $8.99 - $12.99 per month
Channels: 100+
Free Trial: 30 days

Why Amazon Prime Video?

The international service of Amazon Prime Video means that it is still available for streaming through mobile devices, laptops, and other streaming devices to customers who travel abroad. Video streaming services usually buy video broadcast rights per country, so the service shown to Amazon members who are traveling will be different from the menu of videos that are shown in the USA. However, at least it is available, which is better than Hulu, which is blocked outside of the USA.

Sling TV

Most Customizable

Price Range: $30 - $45 per month
Channels: 32 - 50+
Free Trial: 3 days

Why Sling TV?

Sling TV is a lot cheaper than cable TV services and it is also cheaper than most of the rival live TV streaming services. With Sling TV offering 50 TV channels, and Sling Orange containing 32 channels, it is likely that anyone would be able to find their favorite channels in one package or the other.

Philo

Best Value

Price Range: $20 per month
Channels: 50+
Free Trial: 7 days

Why Philo?

Philo has just one base package, which costs $20 per month. It is far cheaper than its rivals in the Live TV streaming sector. All of the Philo channels can be received on the devices that the average household already has.

Netflix

Best for Original Series

Price Range: $8.99 - $15.99 per month
Free Trial: 30 days

Why Netflix?

Netflix has the highest customer satisfaction rating of all of the video streaming services in the United States. The approval of the system’s current customers shows that this is a good video streaming service to pick.

ESPN+

Best for Sports

Price Range: $4.99 - $12.99 per month

Why ESPN+?

ESPN+ provides a blend of live sports coverage and on-demand recordings of sporting events plus other sports content, such as documentaries and analysis shows.

Disney+

Best for Kids

Price Range: $6.99 - $12.99 per month

Why Disney+?

The “plus” part of Disney Plus denotes that this streaming service isn’t just for Disney fans. The site is also contributed to by Marvel Studios, National Geographic, Pixar, and the Star Wars franchise of Lucasfilm. All of which are properties of the Walt Disney Company.

Hulu with Live TV

Best for TV series

Price Range: $5.99 - $54.99 per month
Channels: 60+
Free Trial: 30 days

Why Hulu + Live TV?

Hulu + Live TV is a great service for cord cutters because it can completely replace any cable TV package. Not only that, but the Hulu + Live TV system grants live TV users access to its on-demand content library. The on-demand service includes more than 10,000 videos.

YouTube TV

Most Affordable

Price Range: $49.99
Channels: 85+
Free Trial: 7-14 days

Why YouTube TV?

YouTube TV’s contractless service, lack of credit checks, flexibility over suspension and resumption of service without fines and absence of equipment or installation fees certainly makes it attractive to cord cutters. When compared to a typical cable TV channel package, many people would prefer this solution.

FuboTV

Best for Telenovelas

Price Range: $29.99 - $79.99 per month
Channels: 85 - 100+
Free Trial: 7 days

Why fuboTV?

The cord-cutting TV service is a contender in the video streaming services market. It isn’t one of the three largest live TV cable replacement services, but industry watchers have marked it out as one to watch and it is probably the first choice for cord-cutter sports fans.

The TV service started out by specializing in soccer. In fact, it was known as the “Netflix of soccer.” Now, however, fuboTV has a full range of TV channels.
