Easiest Way to Reduce Online Streaming Cost

 Moving onto online streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Hulu, HBO, etc. is tempting. Since every service has something unique to offer, it gets difficult to stick to just one service. You probably have subscribed to multiple online streaming services and are now paying more than you anticipated. Fortunately, there are ways to guide you to stick to the budget without sacrificing much on your entertainment. The following list of ideas will guide you through the cost-cutting method:

Your first step should be to identify the streaming service that you use the least or do not require as much. Involve your family members or roommates to discuss and find common ground for the least used streaming service. Then, unsubscribe to that service and know that you can re-subscribe anytime you want.

This brings us to the second method, i.e., subscribe strategically to the services. The best part about online streaming is that you can unsubscribe and resubscribe anytime according to our requirements without any trouble. This gives you the freedom to save money during the months when the specific streaming service doesn’t have anything interesting to offer. If you’re not an active user yet you pay for the subscription, then it’s time to rethink and save money. You can also choose to subscribe for a short time on each service and watch the shows one-by-one. It ensures that you pay for one stream at a time and enjoy all the benefits in that limited time.

If you’re planning to unsubscribe to the streaming services you have, then you will be saving a lot of money, but then you will compromise a lot on entertainment. And you’ll be missing out on the latest news updates as well. So, you can instead invest in a budget-friendly TV antenna and get free services without paying anything for the channels. Your one-time purchase will offer reasonable services in the long run, and you can choose to stream CBSN, ABC News Live, and Pluto live news for free. If you choose a TV antenna, then you can get the best ones starting at $15 only.

There is no denying that people don’t like to watch commercial ads, but these ads can save you a lot of money. Some of the streaming services charge extra for removing ads from your favorite shows and movies. If you’re up for compromising and watching the ads, then you can save a few extra bucks on monthly payments.

The easiest method of all is to share your subscription plans with friends and family. It means that you’ll be sharing a password and username with people that are willing to share the subscription cost. This takes off some load, and everyone gets to enjoy the streaming as well. You can also share your Netflix password in exchange for the Hulu password and user ID of your friends.

Another method to save your crashing monthly-budget is to surf through the free streaming services. The free streaming services might not be as good as the paid ones, but they are the home for some of the highly-rated and award-winning movies and shows. But you have to keep an eye on them and do your research to find your favorite movie and shows before the files get deleted from their platform. Some of the best free streaming platforms are Vudu, Hoopla, Kanopy, IMDb TV, Internet Archive, and Crackle.

If you like to stream the services on your smartphone, then you can get good benefits and a relatively low cost. Getting a T-Mobile subscription will allow you to stream Netflix on two screens (in Magenta Plus Plan). Some other similar services offer budget-friendly streaming with unlimited benefits on your smartphone. Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile provide some of the best ones.

While paying for all the services, it is impossible to watch everything streaming on your TV. Thus, these hacks will help you to figure out the necessary ones and have a better direction towards cutting the cost and sticking to the budget.
