Entertainment is one of the largest industries in the United States, and makes up a third of the entire global media and entertainment industry. TV, movies, and various streaming content fall under the broad umbrella of entertainment, and these “products” are a vital ingredient in the media pie.
With every passing year, streaming services evolve, offering new features and higher-quality original content. At the same time, new industry players are emerging left and right. It can be overwhelming to navigate the oversaturated market and determine which on-demand entertainment service is right for you.
It's also important to protect the devices you watch this streaming content on. From smartphones to computers to smart TVs, all are liable to become damaged or break down over time. When you subscribe to Mulberry Unlimited, you can ensure you're covered no matter what happens, so you can continue enjoying your favorite shows and movies without missing a beat.
What are the best entertainment streaming services?
We've compiled a list of the best streaming services, along with some information regarding what they offer.
Apple TV
Apple TV might not be as established as some of the other entertainment giants, but it has many top-notch series and even provides live access to MLB games. While its library is a bit limited, it’s on the rise, with Emmy-winning shows such as Ted Lasso and Severance helping it gain notoriety.
Plans are comparatively low-cost (or even free with certain Apple device purchases), at just $6.99/month.
Netflix
Netflix is one of the original streaming services that has made itself a leader of the industry. It features a massive quantity of content, great “watch next” suggestions, and a user-friendly application and webpage experience.
Although there has been controversy over the end of Netflix password sharing, features like offline downloading and family-friendly parental controls still offer a lot to love. Plans cost $6.99/month with ads or $9.99/month for a basic tier subscription.
Paramount+
Paramount+ is the home of many popular films and series, from reality shows to Hollywood full-length dramas. Yellowstone season 5 just came out to critical acclaim, continuing its reign as one the the streaming services' biggest shows.
In addition to the on-demand library of content, subscribers get live sports, news, and other TV coverage. A Paramount+ subscription starts from $4.99/month, or $11.99/month when combined with Showtime.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV has some on-demand media, but is primarily a live TV streaming service with over 100 channels. It comes with unlimited DVR space and free installation. Subscribers can opt for add-ons like the YouTube TV Entertainment Plus or YouTube TV Sports Plus packages. A YouTube TV subscription starts from $64.99/month.
Crunchyroll
A longtime favorite of anime lovers, Crunchyroll provides near-instant uploads of international content right after films or series are released abroad. You can access it for free with ads or pay $7.99/month for a basic plan without ads. If you’re a superfan of an anime series or film, there's even a Crunchyroll store that has merch and gifts from all your favorite shows.
Max
Although Max offers fewer titles than competitors and has a more difficult user interface, the quality of series and films makes up for it. This popular provider has some of the best original content out of any streaming service, and plans start from $9.99/month with ads or $15.99/month without.
Disney+
Disney+ is relatively new to the streaming game, but features tons of exclusive content from the Disney catalog, including everything from the Marvel Universes and every film ever made about Disney princes and princesses. It’s a responsive, streamlined, and family-friendly streaming service. A Disney+ subscription costs $7.99/month for a basic plan.
Hulu
The Hulu logo is probably recognizable to most everyone at this point as a streaming service with tons of docuseries, competition shows, and comedies. It offers a live tv package, and can be bundled with other services like Disney+ or Spotify for a discounted price. Plans start at $7.99/month with ads or $14.99/month without ads. There is also a Hulu student discount plan for just $1.99/month.
