Disney+ vs Max: which is better?

Disney+ and Max's cheapest plans cost the same at $10/month, but which is better? Both have rights to a wide variety of properties—Disney has Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic, and Marvel, while Max has DC, Cartoon Network, TCM, and HBO to name a few. Both are also compatible with most devices and are easy to use. The difference lies in preference. Disney+ is a great fit for families who plan on sharing a subscription, since you'll find a little something for everyone. Max on the other hand is great for mature audiences, since the films and TV shows are slightly edgier.
