Disney+
Disney announced the arrival of a new bundle. The new bundle includes a combination of Disney+, ad free Hulu and ESPN plus for a reasonable price of €15.69.
A reasonable price and something to take into consideration when purchased separately ESPN plus costs €4.97 per month, Hulu cost €9.95 per month and Disney €5.80 per month, which would have costed €20.72.
The new bundle would save customers in total.
Unfortunately, there is no student discount, but the price is reasonable enough to spent without feeling too guilty.
Netflix
Netflix is one of the most popular entertainment platforms when we want to sit back and relax Netflix is there to accommodate our needs. No matter where you are around the world we literally Netflix and Chill, for real. The big red N is recognisable anywhere, and the price is a big bonus.

Amazon Prime Video – If you are an Amazon Prime user, Amazon Prime Video is a huge perk as a member as it includes movies, exclusive series and 4K Ultra HD videos but if you are not a member and you aren’t taking advantage of the free shipping and discounts. Prime does not offer enough and it is not worth the pay. For an annual membership, its €98.76 or €10.78 per month, luckily there’s a special discount for students. If you’re a student, I’ll take full advantage of the special offer. Students get a no cost trial for 6 months and later a discounted price of €5.39 p/m or €48.97 annually.

Apple TV+ (Good for Apple fans)
Apple TV+ is a on-demand service streaming TV Series. Its content is all new and all original, unlike Netflix or Hulu where there’s no familiar movies or shows from other sources. Fortunately for non-Apple users, Apple TV+ runs well on non-IOS devices (works best with Apple to Apple).
For the price of €4.14, you sign up for a couple of cool originals but a lot of “Coming Soon”, although Apple has potential, right now there is just not much there.
YouTube – the best overall
For €44.77 p/m, you get 85+ cables and local channels plus an unlimited cloud DVR, so worth the price. Previously €34.43 it was updated to its current price of €6.88. Although the price increased a bit, they added over a dozen more entertainment channels, giving it one of the most fastest channel line-ups in livestreaming.
Pro
Its intuitive interface and simple
85+ channels. TenEighty, Homecoming, Upload among others.
Unlimited DVR
Cons
A lot more expensive
No NFL Network/RedZone
