Housing ReliefWould you like to cut it while keeping your family entertained? Then try these streaming services that are free and full of content for everyone.
While cable has been a staple of households for decades, many now see it as obsolete. Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc., you can cut the cord to watch what you want, when you want.
Unfortunately, some streaming services have a problem of their own: Cost. So while having one service like Netflix, for example, is cheaper than cable, adding another, like Hulu, will start to add up.
Are all streaming services paid? No, as the following won’t cost you a thing. And while they may not be as well-known as Netflix and Hulu, the fact that they’re free while still offering tons of content may make them more appealing.
Installing an HD Antenna
Before we jump into our list of free streaming services, it’s worth noting that you may want to install an HD antenna before cutting the cord. Doing so will give you local channels for news, networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, and more at zero monthly cost. And best of all, you’ll get a crystal clear HD picture.
Then, once you have the antenna installed, you can add these free streaming services to round out your no-cost entertainment package.
Pluto TV
Would you like a quick replacement for your cable lineup? Pluto TV can give you that for free with hundreds of channels covering every genre.
What’s the best part about Pluto? The fact that it has channels dedicated solely to popular TV shows, which will help you reconnect with some of your favorites from the past.
Is Pluto just live TV? No, as it also has tons of TV shows and movies on-demand, so you’ll never run out of things to watch.
Tubi
A quick look at Tubi reveals a similar format to Netflix. But unlike Netflix, you won’t have to pay a penny to enjoy Tubi’s impressive catalog of movies and shows.
Vudu
Here’s another free streaming service that looks like Netflix. Whether you’re looking to binge popular TV shows or enjoy a massive catalog of movies on-demand, you can do it with Vudu while keeping all of your cash in your pocket.
Crackle
Netflix and Hulu reel in customers thanks to their original content, movies, and TV shows. Crackle can do the same, only without having to pay for it.
The Roku Channel
Do you need a Roku device to enjoy this free streaming service? No, as you can watch it from your laptop to enjoy movies, TV shows, news, and much more.
Free Hulu
A great way to enjoy new content without piling on new costs is to switch paid streaming services. For instance, one month, you can binge Netflix. The following month, you can pause or cancel Netflix and switch to Hulu.
Even better, you can use free trials to enjoy that content without having to pay. For new customers, Hulu has a one-month trial that’ll let you see what the service has to offer with no commitment.
