30 Best Disney+ Alternatives Right Now

cord-cutting • December 4, 2023 • Staff

Disney+ is one of the biggest players in the streaming service industry, with titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, and National Geographic under its belt. However, even with its impressive library of content, most Disney+ shows and movies are often family-oriented or sourced from existing franchises.

The platform also focuses on on-demand video streaming, so viewers who prefer live TV shows and those who would also like to watch sports and non-Disney content may turn away from the platform. So if you’re looking for the best Disney+ alternatives right now, either because you want more or less like it, check out our list below.

Criterion Channel

Criterion Channel is a curated movie-streaming service that offers ad-free and on-demand access to films from The Criterion Collection in HD. It is currently only available in the US and Canada. The subscription costs $10.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Like Netflix, the Criterion Channel also offers a physical rental service. The number of movies you can rent each month, for a flat monthly rate, depends on how quickly you can return them. You don't need to subscribe to The Criterion Channel to buy or rent physical media on DVD and Blu-ray, but subscribers may get discounts.

BET+

BET+, or Black Entertainment Television plus, is a streaming service created for and by the African-American community. It celebrates the culture by bringing forth an endless and varied library of movies and TV shows, many of which are co-produced by the all-around entertainer himself, Tyler Perry. Aside from Black-led '90s sitcoms and mainstream films, the streamer also features titles from other Viacom channels such as Comedy Central and VH1. It's a bit costly at $9.99/month, but the curation and streamlining of content are undoubtedly excellent.
