35 Best Free Streaming Services on Amazon Fire Stick

It's a convenient thing to have your favorite streaming services come pre-loaded on devices like the Amazon Fire Stick. You can stream Netflix, Prime, and Max with a click of a button. But did you know there are plenty of free services you can access on the same device? Some of them, like Tubi, don't even require registration. The catch, of course, is that the films and TV shows may not be as recent or well-known as those you'll find in paid subscriptions. They're also powered by ads, which can be unrelenting. But if you don't mind the interruptions and, like us, are a big fan of old classics and indies, then you'll want to check out these services. 

The best free streaming services on the Amazon Fire Stick are ol' reliable like Amazon's freevee, Sling's Freestream, Tubi, Roku, and Pluto TV. Apart from films and TV shows, they also offer a good mix of live and 24/7 channels. But we also decided to include specialty services like Toon Goggles, RetroCrush, and Revry that cater to niche interests that may or may not align with yours. You can read more about them in the list below.

Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) is an on-demand streaming service that allows users to rent or purchase more than 200,000 new releases. Founded in 2007, it's one of the first companies to offer digital films in HD. Fandango at Home's main strength is its ease of access and jam-packed catalog of movies and TV shows, but it also boasts free content, which runs on ads. In 2020, media and ticketing firm Fandango acquired Vudu and merged both companies' streamers into one. While initially keeping the Vudu name, it eventually decided to go with the former.

Cineverse

Cineverse is a free streaming service that has both on-demand content and live channels, all of which feature a broad range of content. The new streaming service's mission is to offer as many titles as it can, so you won't find a lot of blockbusters or big studio productions here (unless they're available for rent on ROW8), but you will have access to a ton of vintage, international, and niche films and TV shows. Our personal favorites include Howard's End, Mustang, and The Little Shop of Horrors. Since the streaming service is free, you'll encounter a lot of ads, but you can always subscribe to Cineverse's premium version, which costs $2.99/month, to get rid of the commercials and access to even more content.

Price: free for 24 channels available

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android Phones, Android TV, Apple TV, Comecast Xfinity, Google TV, iOS, LG, Roku, Tizen Samsung, Vizio, Website

Asiancrush is a streaming service that brings plenty of Asian content, especially Korean, Japanese, and Thai content, to Western audiences. The lineup is pretty extensive, ranging from popular movies and beloved dramas to classics and indies (our favorites include Burning, House of Hummingbird, and All About Lily Chou-chou). They also have exclusive collections composed of shows, shorts, and K-pop showcases you won't find anywhere else on this side of the Globe. Asiancrush is mostly free, and therefore ad-supported, but users can opt for a paid monthly plan that costs $4.99 for no ads and more content. Notably, the service also has a live TV section, but as of this writing, it only hosts two channels: an Asiancrush live feed and Retrocrush.

Air TV

If you have an Air TV streaming device, you'll automatically have free access to 1oo local channels from affiliates like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS all in HD. To be clear, the local channels are free in the sense that you don't have to pay a monthly bill to watch them, as you would on a cable or live TV subscription, but you do have to pay a one-time fee that sets you up with an Air TV device and an HD antenna. Depending on the bundle you pick, that can cost you anywhere from $150 to $250. It seems like a lot, but it makes sense when you consider that it comes with DVR, the ability to watch local channels anywhere, and for Sling TV subscribers, seamless integration in all your devices. 

Although you don't need to be a Sling TV subscriber to start using Air TV, the two are perfect complements that save you a lot of money, in the long run. Sling TV has live TV channels equipped for sports, entertainment, and nationwide news, while the one-time-payment Air TV gives you constant and uninterrupted access to your local channels. If you do combine them, Sling takes care of any overlaps to ensure you're getting the best of both streaming worlds in all compatible devices.

Price: free for 3 channels available

Device availability: AirTV Mini, AirTV Player, Amazon Fire TV, Android Phones, Android TV, Apple TV, iOS, Roku

Channel lineup: CBS local channels, NBC local channels, PBS local channels
