OUR VERDICT
Apple TV+

Best for: Selective viewers happy paying $12.99/month for a small library where the hit rate per title is high and everything streams in 4K with no ads. New Apple device buyers get 3 months free.

Try Apple TV+
Disney+

Best for: Families with kids or Marvel and Star Wars fans who want every film and series in those universes. The Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle at $19.99/month with ads is strong value if you'd use two of the three.
