Choose a streaming plan by screen, not by headline price

Start with the screen you use most: phone, laptop or television. A cheap plan is not good value if it excludes that screen.

Count simultaneous viewers

Think about how many people watch at the same time rather than how many devices you own. Read the service’s current distinction between signed-in devices and simultaneous playback.

Check the content you actually want

Search for the specific programme or event before purchasing. Verify the language and access requirement. A catalogue can change between billing periods.

Read renewal terms

Compare the introductory amount with the recurring price and note where the subscription is managed. A longer commitment may cost less per month but ties up more money in advance.
