Choosing well
Check Android support
Look for an Android app when you plan to watch on a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone or tablet. Services can also run on iOS, the web, macOS, Windows or Linux.
Supported-device details show where playback is available, so check them against your phone, tablet, television or computer.
Compare plans and trials
A free plan can provide access without a paid subscription. A free trial gives temporary access before billing, while paid plans show a starting price when one is listed.
Check for an ad-supported tier and read the service’s pricing details before starting a trial or subscription.
Review viewing limits
Offline downloads let you save video for viewing without a connection. Simultaneous-stream limits matter when people watch on more than one supported device.
Maximum video quality indicates the highest picture setting listed for the service.
Check bundles and content fit
Included bundles can add a service to another subscription or package. Compare that option with a direct plan and its listed starting price.
The catalog focus differs between services: examples include Acorn TV, BroadwayHD, CBC Gem and Crunchyroll Game Vault.
