Categories of Streaming Services

When it comes to streaming services, there are three basic types, explains Gurwin. He categorizes them as follows:

1️⃣ Primary Services These are traditional streaming services with a variety of on-demand shows and movies. Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Now, and Amazon Prime Video fall into this category.

2️⃣ Premium Channels Unlike cable channels, these channels have no commercials and usually provide access to a catalog of past shows, as well as a rotating lineup of movies. You can access them without a cable or satellite TV provider. These channels also have large budgets to produce shows like Game of Thrones. HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax fall into this category.

💰 How to Save Money on a Streaming Service

When considering how much you’re spending on subscription services, you might automatically think about the money you’re saving by cutting the cable. On average, cable or satellite TV costs 200 to 300 BRL per month. So, when doing the math on how much you’ve saved by getting rid of cable, don’t forget to consider any extra costs you’re paying now for other utilities.

📌 Money-Saving Tips for Streaming Services

1️⃣ No Long-Term Contracts Unlike cable or satellite TV, you are not locked into a year-long contract. This means you can subscribe to a streaming service when there’s a show you want to watch and cancel once you run out of episodes.

2️⃣ Take Advantage of Free Trials Most streaming services offer at least one week of free service. This might be enough time for you to binge-watch a show you’ve been meaning to see.

💡 Pro Tip: I’ve done this before, and I’m notorious for forgetting to cancel when my trial ends. 😂
