Only one streamer has a bigger content library than Netflix
This summer, Max and Peacock have raised prices – and on the music front, so has Spotify $SPOT. This comes after a wave of streamers increased their prices last fall, including Netflix $NFLX, Disney $DIS+, and Apple $AAPL TV+. But how much content are viewers actually getting for those hiked-up subscription fees?
Here is a ranking of the content libraries, by number of titles, of eight major streaming platforms in the United States, according to JustWatch.com, which tracks these figures.
Apple $AAPL has the smallest number titles available on its streaming service among streamers on this list at 291. A subscription to Apple TV+ costs $9.99 a month.
Paramount $PARA Global’s streaming platform is home to 1,405 movies and tv shows. Plans for Parmount+ start at $5.99 a month.
Hulu, which is backed by Disney $DIS, has a slighlty larger number of movies and TV shows on its platform — 2,864. A subscription to Hulu starts at $7.99 a month.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform Max boasts 3,473 television shows and movies. Its subscription plans start at $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
A standard plan for Peacock, the streaming service of NBCUniversal, costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 annually. In exchange, subscribers get access to 5,236 movies and television shows.
Amazon $AMZN’s Prime Video has the largest video streaming library, by a landslide among the other platforms on this list, with 18,002 titles. Amazon’s streaming service is included with the e-commerce giant’s Prime membership that costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. If you’re only interested in video streaming, you can subscribe to Prime Video as a standalone service for $8.99.
