Hulu also has a great library, many movies, exclusive shows & originals. If you’re okay with a few ads then Hulu might be good for you. Their plans start at $5.99 with HD support which is the cheapest in the bunch. However, you’ll see a few ads then & now. If you want to remove the ads, you need to pay $11.99 instead which is still less than the Netflix Standard Pack by $1 but, Netflix does have a better library. So, it’s up to you if you want to save that $1 or not. They also have a $44.99/month plan that includes their streaming service & TV so, that might be a good value for some people.
