Streaming Services comparisons

Most households now pay for three or more streaming services, so knowing exactly what each one gives you matters. We compare ad-supported and ad-free prices, resolution, simultaneous streams, downloads, approximate library size, originals and free trials across the biggest global platforms. Prices are US list prices and change often, so treat them as a baseline.
