18 Alternatives to Netflix
Alternatives to Netflix for when you need a new streaming service in your life!
18 Alternatives to Netflix
Netflix has been one of the biggest websites online for years now, and for good reason! But it is far from the only streaming service nowadays, which is why we created a list of 18 alternatives to Netflix!
For as great as Netflix is, you can't watch every single TV show or movie on it that you may want to see and could potentially have a long wait to watch your favorite shows that will end up on Netflix. With more and more streaming services creating original content, many people have to subscribe to a few of their favorite services just to be able to watch everything they'd like. Some services also specialize in one type of show, like DC Comics's upcoming DC Universe, which will show all DC related content, including original shows.
Two more streaming services we're excited about are the Disney streaming service that is projected to come out next year and AT&T Watch, which is projected to cost just $15 a month.
