OUR VERDICT
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.

Try Paramount+
Netflix

Best for: Heavy TV watchers who want the deepest library of exclusive originals. Netflix has more original hits than any other service, starting at $8.99/month with ads.
