25 Best PARAMOUNT+ Alternatives Right Now

Paramount+ has an admirable collection of original content available on the platform; at the moment, its line-up includes fan favorites like the Star Trek franchise and iCarly reboot. And as both a ViacomCBS subsidiary and a Paramount Pictures extension, it boasts a hefty amount of titles from the network and film studio. 

But even with Paramount+’s big name and competitive content, its roster can seem lackluster compared to other streaming services. If you're an avid viewer looking to consume new content at all times, maybe a more prolific streamer like Max or Hulu is the right fit for you. Whatever it is you're looking for, we list the best Paramount+ alternatives for your consideration below.

The CW is known for its iconic and even award-winning dramas, comedies, and reality shows. It has an enviable library to be sure, but it splits these among two streaming services: the self-titled The CW and the more modest CW Seed, which serves as a repository for the network's past and non-airing shows. That means you're free to watch classics like The OC, Pushing Daisies, Schitt's Creek, and America's Next Top Model for free on CW Seed. Its entertaining, zero-cost catalog is a sure major attraction (you don't even have to make an account to stream) but a potential downside is its limited title count.

Price: free for channels available

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Roku, Website, Xbox One

It's a bit costly at $9.99/month, but the curation and streamlining of content are undoubtedly excellent.
