OUR VERDICT
Hulu

Best for: Cord-cutters who still want to watch ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS shows the day after they air. Hulu is the only major streaming service with next-day network TV episodes.

Try Hulu
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.
