OUR VERDICT
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.

Try Disney+
Max

Best for: Prestige TV fans who want the full HBO catalog (The Sopranos, The Wire, Succession, White Lotus) and don't mind paying $16–$23/month for it.
