Today's review is a little different. Instead of reviewing a movie, I'm reviewing one of the free streaming services known as
Tubi., owned by
Fox Corporation.
If you ever wondered whether Tubi was worth it, I'm here to tell you it is.
Did you know that Tubi is the most watched free ad-supported television strreaming service in the U.S.?
As of December 2024, Tubi surpassed 100 million monthly active users and 10 billion streaming hours. In May of last year, Tubi had its most-watched month ever—an average of one million viewers every day.
In fact, it consistently outranks Peacock, Max, Paramount+, and Apple TV+ in total viewing time.
WHY IS TUBI WORTH IT?
It's free, and free is good especially now when people are struggling to make ends meet.
Sure, it has ads, but so does Amazon Prime, and now so does Netflix which has ads in its basic subscription of $7.99 per month.
If you want ad-free on Netflix, that's $17.99 per month.
Other services, offer a Basic subscription, usually with limited selections, and they all have ads.
Here are a few other than Netflix that offer low-cost basic tiers:
Disney $9.99,
Hulu $9.99,
Paramount+ $7.99,
Max $9.99.
Tubi which has a truly impressive selection of movies and TV series with more than 275,000 library movies and TV episodes in their catalog, and that dwarfs the offerings from their competitors. Even better, they rotate offerings often so there's almost always something new when you browse even if it's day to day.
The Tubi interface is easy to navigate, and it's easy to set up an account which I recommend you do. No credit card needed!
The reason to set up an account is you can then add items to "My List" which is an easy way to manage browsing through their huge catalog.
Decision fatigue can be a real thing with so many selections. If you see something and think it might be interesting, add it to your list right then.
Why? Because by the time you get to the end of that "row" you will have forgotten the title or be too tired to scroll all the way back. *g*
OTHER STREAMING SERVICES
There are a few other free streaming services which I'll review this year since I think people are looking for alternatives.
When you find a free streaming service that's easy to navigate and has good content, that's a win-win I want everyone to know about.
I know a lot of viewers rotate their streaming services. When they have watched everything that appeals to them on Hulu, they'll cancel and reactivate their Netflix or other service.
They'll do this, rotating services to get the content they enjoy at a price that fits their budget.
I can understand why people do this when they may subscribe to 2 or more services. That can be a big chunk of cash each month.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
If you're looking to save $10-20 bucks a month, try Tubi. You may find some of the same movies there that you find on other streaming services.
