While Netflix is the top streaming service in the world, for many people, it no longer offers the same experience as in its early days. Price increases, show cancellations, and the password-sharing crackdown have left many disillusioned with the service.
I canceled my Netflix subscription in 2025 after realizing the few shows I watched no longer justified the cost. I had grown tired of cancellations and the influx of reality shows. Thankfully, Netflix is far from the only streaming service out there.
If you’re curious about Netflix alternatives, here are some services worth checking out.

For a long time, I didn’t suggest Apple TV due to its limited catalog and high price. But with price hikes on other services and the addition of some exceptional shows to its own roster, Apple TV has increased its appeal over the years.
The service costs $12.99 per month, making it cheaper than Netflix’s Standard plan ($19.99 per month) but slightly more costly than Netflix’s Standard with Ads ($8.99 per month).

Apple TV also has some exceptional original content and has become home to some of the best sci-fi shows out there. This includes Foundation, Murderbot, Silo, Severance, and Pluribus.
