How to choose in this category

Make a shortlist of what you would actually watch or listen to now. A service with an impressive catalog can still be a poor fit if the content you want is unavailable for your account. Also consider who shares the subscription and which devices need access.

Review current provider information before committing to a plan. Installation, account creation, subscription and access to a particular title are different steps. Our coverage focuses on organizing that decision and understanding the app's role; it does not promise availability of a show, an uninterrupted stream or a particular viewing quality.
