In the last three years, we’ve been offered more TV streaming services than ever before. With that comes a streaming subscription budget that either increases or decreases, depending on whether it’s worth the time and money. And the competition for your eyes and money is fierce. Here’s a comparison between Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and Disney +.
Your choices probably depend on the original series and movies you like, how important a retro catalog of older streaming TV shows is to you, whether you need to consider kids, roommates, or sports fans, and of course your budget. your. Some of these services offer cheaper options (such as Peacock’s free level), while others come essentially free as part of a package (such as ESPN Plus from the Disney package). With Netflix rising in price, options like Amazon Prime Video might be worth a second look.
We looked at each of these streaming services individually and considered several factors to compare: content, application design, and features, and overall value. Certainly, certain personal preferences regarding the mix of content influence our decisions, so keep in mind that if you like a particular series or show, you may have another favorite.
Given this, here is the list of the best streaming services in Romania: Netflix, HBO Max and Amazon Prime, but also Disney + which will be launched in our country on June 14.
Netflix
Netflix, the most popular streaming platform, took just 12 years to generate an annual revenue of $ 25 billion from its subscribers, and now Netflix has nearly 214 million subscribers in 2022. The stream has lost about 200,000 of subscribers in the first months of 2022 – its first serious decline in almost a decade. A number of factors have led to a decline, including competition from rival platforms such as Disney + and Hulu, downtime in Russia, and widespread sharing of passwords.
At Netfilx there are three types of subscription in Romania: the Minimum subscription – 7.99 EUR / month, the Standard subscription – 9.99 EUR / month and the Premium subscription – 11.99 EUR / month. The differences between these types of subscriptions are: the resolution (image quality) and the number of devices you can watch simultaneously.
As for the interface of the streaming application, it’s easy to do on Netflix, whether you enter the site (through the browser) or through the application. I encountered very few errors, usually caused by connection delays or slow internet speeds, but they came from me, not them.
Regarding the content, after finishing the first round of viewing, especially if you have some pretensions, you will think that you have nothing to see. Take a break, eventually, and come back in a month or two. These are pleasant surprises, if you know how to look. I recommend some secret codes that you can read more about here, in order to discover your favorite productions more easily.
