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.

Paramount+

Best for: NFL fans who also want Showtime dramas and don't want to pay $15+ per month. Paramount+ with Showtime at $13.99/month covers both, at the lowest price for a service with major live sports rights.
