Monthly Cost & Tiers▼8/10

Plans start at $10.99/month (Premium with ads) and $16.99/month (Premium Plus, ad-free with downloads). The free tier was discontinued for new US subscribers in early 2023.

Original & Exclusive Shows▼5/10

Peacock Originals are thin compared to Netflix or Max. The real draw is NBC's licensed library including The Office, an exclusive NFL Wild Card playoff game, select Peacock-exclusive regular-season NFL games, Premier League, and Olympics rights. NFL Sunday Night Football itself also airs free on NBC broadcast TV.

Simultaneous Streams & Sharing▼7/10

Allows 3 simultaneous streams on both paid tiers (Premium and Premium Plus). No household-sharing crackdown has been announced.

4K & Video Quality▼5/10

4K streaming is available for select live sports events and some titles. The majority of Peacock's catalog tops out at 1080p HD.

Ads & Ad-Free Options▼7/10

Premium Plus at $16.99/month removes nearly all ads. One of the clearer ad-removal value propositions in this comparison.
