So it is obvious that people want to switch to these streaming services. Not only do all these streaming services come with a rich web interface that you can use on your laptop or desktop computer, but they also come with fluently designed apps that work flawlessly. With a monthly (or yearly) subscription, you can enjoy unlimited access to all the shows and movies the service offers and can even download them to watch offline! All of these minor conveniences together make choosing a streaming service over a cable TV subscription a much better deal in 2023.

#1 – Netflix

Notable exclusive TV series and movies from Netflix include Money Heist, Stranger Things, Peaky Blinders, and many anime shows such as Kakegurui, Baki, and Violet Evergarden. It is available in most countries you can think of and is reputed for bringing the latest movies and TV shows quicker than everyone else. Pricing for Netflix is, unfortunately, on the higher side and isn’t the best option for someone who’s looking to save money.

Pricing for Netflix:

  • Mobile Only – Rs. 199/month (1 screen, no HD)
  • Basic – Rs. 499/month (1 screen, HD)
  • Standard – Rs. 649/month (2 screens, HD)
  • Premium – Rs. 799/month (4 screens, HD)

#2 – Disney+ Hotstar

Next on our list has got to be the all-new face of India’s own streaming platform – Disney+ Hotstar. When it was first launched years ago, Hotstar only features some of the most-watched sitcoms on Indian television but has soon branched to many other categories ever since. The best thing that’s ever happened to Hotstar was its merge with Disney+, making it one of the best services to get if you are a fan of Disney’s movies. It features everything you could think of, while also still catering to its Indian audience with the older shows too.

Pricing for Disney+ Hotstar:

  • Disney+ Hotstar VIP – Rs. 399/year
  • Disney+ Hotstar Premium – Rs. 1499/year

#3 – Voot

  • Regular Voot – Free (with ads)
  • Voot Select – Rs. 99/month (additional shows and no ads)

#4 – Crackle

Crackle is backed by the media giant Sony and brings a pretty humble catalog of movies and TV shows. If you put it along with Netflix or Prime Video, Crackle’s library falls down to crumbles. However, the streaming platform is completely free with the only requirement being registered as a user (which is also free). Crackle isn’t available in a few regions like India yet, but it does seem promising as a good streaming platform that you can use to kill some extra time on your hands. Since Crackle is completely free, you will have to bear with some commercials here and there. So far, Crackle is available in 21 different countries and is supported on a plethora of different devices including phones, tablets, computers, and even smart TVs.

#5 – YouTube

This might seem like a far stretch for some, but YouTube does have a remarkable catalog of movies and TV shows that you can either buy or rent for a few days. Being the world’s largest video-sharing platform, YouTube also naturally has documentaries and short films made by individual creators or studios, sometimes with insane camera work and quality! On top of that, if you are a YouTube Premium member, you gain access to exclusives such as YouTube Original shows, early access to videos from your favorite creators, and much more! If it’s documentaries or entertaining videos that you seek, there’s no better place to look for other than YouTube itself.
