15 Best CuriosityStream Alternatives Right Now

Most streaming platforms are focused on mindless entertainment, but CuriosityStream isn't one of them. By offering thousands of documentaries about history, lifestyle, nature, science, society, and technology all on demand, it aims to inspire and motivate its audience to learn more about the world. 

At just $20 a year, a CuriosityStream subscription is an attractive package to be sure. However, some users have wished to gain more out of its user interface. At the moment, there have also been requests for a linear programming guide and a 4K viewing option without having to upgrade to a $70/year subscription. 

If you sympathize with those grievances, you'll be happy to know that there are many platforms out there with either better interfaces, viewing options, or just generally more content and features that are available at the same price point. Here are the best CuriosityStream alternatives you can check out right now.
