What are Some Good Apple TV+ Alternatives?
If you do decide to cancel your subscription, some of the best new TV shows of 2022 will no longer be available to you. Fortunately, there are some more popular and mainstream streaming services that offer a lot more content and a deeper backlog of original shows and movies. The main downside of these other services is that they are more expensive.
The Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ Bundle
The cost of an Apple TV+ subscripions is incredibly cheap at just $4.99 per month. For $9 more a month, however, you can get the Disney+ bundle that gives you access to Hulu and ESPN+ as well.
This is likely the best option if you're looking to get the most bang for you buck. You'll get access to new Marvel shows, Hulu Originals, Star Wars shows, sports, and more for $13.99 a month.
HBO Max
Another great streaming option is HBO's streaming service: HBO Max. You can get the base subscription with ads for $9.99 or the ad-free version for $14.99 per month. Both options allow up to 5 profiles.
While those prices may seem very high compared to Apple TV Plus, the main draw of HBO Max is it's backlog of original content. You get HBO orginals movies and shows as well as content from DC, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, and Studio Ghibli. You also get to watch the biggest Warner Bros. movies like The Batman on the platform as soon as they hit streaming.
It was also recently announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ are being combined into one service, so that will expand the content available on the platform even more.
Netflix
Netflix is the biggest streaming platform out there with more original content than anybody could want. You can get a basic subscription for $9.99 a month or upgrade to Standard ($15.49) or Premium ($19.99) to get access to more features. Similar to HBO Max, the main draw of this streaming subscription is the incredible backlog of good Netflix movies and original shows.
