How to choose the right streaming subscription

Most comparisons start from the feature list. Start from your household instead — the answer usually falls out of four questions.

How many people watch at once? A plan that allows two simultaneous streams is enough for one person and a partner; a family of four watching in different rooms needs four.

On what screen? 4K costs more and shows nothing extra on a phone or an older television. If the main screen is not 4K, the cheaper tier is not a compromise.

Is the library the one you want? Catalogues differ by country and change through the year. Check that the two or three shows you actually plan to watch are there now.

For how long? A monthly subscription is worth more than it costs when you only want one season. A yearly one is cheaper per month and only pays off if you keep it.
