+ High quality original programming + A diverse, and ever-changing array of sourced content + Hub for all Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and Disney films past and future + Takes a quality over quantity approach to their originals + Live sports and recently aired TV episodes + Best bundling options, package options that include ESPN + Plenty of prestige, offers highest number of Oscar winning films + Will offer all Warner Bros as soon as they release in 2021

- Relies heavily on sourced content that it only has for a short time - Often increases prices randomly - If you do not like Disney properties, this thing is worthless. - Lacks the variety of its competition - Affordable options require you to watch commercials - Features less content than Netflix

Verdict
- The priciest option, does not allow cheaper tiers - HBO Max remains the only major service to not offer a free trial period
When viewed as a full package, Netflix remains the consensus king. Though it lacks the single studio offerings of Disney+, the live television and sports of Hulu, and the prestige pictures of HBO Max, its offerings are just too diverse and its content library too robust, with enough variety to satisfy even the most selective consumer. If you only have the cash to pony up for a single service, do yourself a favor and stick with the king of streaming services until its competition can catch up.
