19 Best Topic Alternatives Right Now

With its selection of quality indie films, hard-hitting documentaries, and crime anthologies, Topic makes for an excellent streaming service for cinephiles and true-crime enthusiasts alike. It brands itself as an alternative to platforms like Netflix, offering little-known but well-regarded titles for only $5.99 a month. 

Topic is competitive in these regards, but its appeal and selection remain niche. Mainstream audiences may find it lacking compared to bigshots like Amazon Prime, affordable services like Philo, and free streamers like Tubi, the latter two of which showcase more content in addition to live TV channels. 

Whether you're looking to expand your selection of indies and thrillers or seeking new TV options, you might want to check out other streamers that offer more of the same. Below, we curated the best Topic alternatives available right now to help you find the platform that best suits your needs. 

Our recommended three best topic alternatives right now:
Philo $28 Watch
Hulu $9.99 Watch
Tubi free Watch
