Five ways to pay less for streaming
- Rotate instead of stacking. Most video services bill monthly with no contract. Keep one or two at a time, cancel when you've watched what you came for, and come back for the next season.
- Take the yearly plan only for services you keep all year. HBO Max Basic With Ads costs $109.99 a year versus $131.88 paid monthly; that saving disappears if you'd cancel for even two months. The monthly vs annual calculator finds the break-even month.
- Check whether "with ads" is enough. On Netflix the ad-supported Standard plan is $8.99 against $19.99 without ads: $132.00 a year.
- Share a family plan properly. Spotify Family is $21.99 for up to 6 accounts. Split six ways that's about $3.66 each. The shared plan calculator does the math for any group, but read each service's household rules first.
- Write down every renewal date. Forgotten free trials and services you stopped watching are the most common leak. The MapSub tracker lists them privately in your browser and can export reminders to your calendar.

Questions and answers
What is the cheapest way to get Netflix in the US?
Netflix Standard with ads at $8.99 a month is the cheapest plan Netflix lists in the US, and it shows ads. Ad-free Standard is $19.99 and Premium $26.99. Netflix's plan page lists the streams and video quality of each.
Is it cheaper to pay for streaming yearly?
Where a yearly plan exists, yes. HBO Max Basic With Ads is $109.99 a year versus $131.88 on monthly billing, and Paramount+ Essential is $89.99 versus $107.88. Netflix and Spotify don't sell a yearly plan in the US. Yearly only pays off if you keep the service all year, which is why many people rotate monthly plans instead.
How much does the average household spend on streaming?
Official BLS data shows the average US household spent about $191 a year on video streaming and rentals and $36 on audio streaming in 2025, and Bank of America found two-thirds of paying households spent under $40 a month on streaming TV and music. Surveys measure this differently; our research page compares them. Your own number is more useful: pick your services in the calculator above.
How do you check Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime?
Their live websites show our checker another country's prices, so we read the US prices on archived copies of their own US pages, captured within days of our check by the Internet Archive. Each table links the exact copy we used and its date. We never take prices from news or review sites.
How often do you update these prices?
We re-check every listed price at least once a month and whenever a provider announces a change. The date next to each table is the day we last read the price on the official page.
