Since we’re in a time of home-quarantining, it feels like every online streaming service has flourished. Everyone pretty much has nothing much to do than watch their favorite movies, TV shows, documentaries. This now brings up a very important question to answer: which streaming service is going to be the best at giving you what you want?
specially with today’s technology, you don’t really have to plug in anything to keep enjoying what you want, no cable-box set-ups, or any fancy antenna action. Just turn on your TV, and it will connect to your wifi connection, and you’re pretty much good to go – so go grab some popcorn and plop down comfortably on your sofa.
Why Struggle To Choose?
Subscription Popularity
Netflix vs disney plus vs Hulu, it’s a decision you’re going to have to make since you’re just going to be wasting more money if you’re going to subscribe to every single streaming service. You can just go off the basis that whichever streaming service that has the most subscriptions is going to be the best one for you – since it’s generally liked by a lot of people.
Over in the US, they have over 30 million subscribers over on Hulu. Since they have been recently peaking, Disney plus is following closely behind Hulu with a little less than 30 million. Netflix, being so popular(to the global level) and is quite affordable, has amassed over 150 million subscribers worldwide. You can check out some reviews online from the subscribers.
Their Selection of Content
This is probably the main topic of concern when deciding which streaming service you’re going to subscribe to. Why subscribe to a service that offers barely anything that you want, right? From what I know, you’re going to want to go to Hulu for some series from NBC and Fox, Disney plus is well, for Disney, and Netflix is like a pretty great mix of both.
The Differences
Original Content
Disney is pretty high up there due to the whole superpowers of animation works of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilms, and 21st Century Fox. Netflix comes in second for having great original content with a title like The Witcher, as well as having Netflix-exclusive comedy specials. Hulu is the top ranker for the “next-day airing” of TV shows from ABC, Fox, and NBC.
Supported Devices
For both Hulu and Netflix; you can connect most of your devices like a PS3 and a PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360, any android, kindle fire, or apple device, a smart TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV. For Disney plus, though, you can only connect to the newer generation of technology, so PS4 and Xbox One, Kindle Fire Tablet, any android or apple device.
Audio Quality
This just means how well the movies you are watching can become immersive. Netflix can support all surround sound settings(Stereo 2.0, Surround Sound 5.1 and 7.1, and Dolby Atmos). In contrast, the other two can only support Stereo 2.0 and Surround Sound 5.1.
Takeaway
No matter which streaming service you’re going to subscribe to, you’re still going to get an extensive list of shows and movies to watch. If you want to binge-watch Disney stuff, then Disney plus is the go for you. Or maybe classic TV shows are your thing, then Hulu is the place you need to go. If you want a good balance of both, then Netflix is definitely what you need.
