Disney+ vs Paramount+: which is better?

Disney+ costs a bit more than Paramount+, but with that expense comes a lot of popular content. Disney+ has the Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel franchises, not to mention Disney kid shows and Nat Geo documentaries. But for its part, Paramount+ has shows from channels like Nickelodeon, The CW, BET, Comedy Central, and VH1, as well as a vast lineup of films produced by Paramount Pictures. It also has a slight edge over Disney+ with live sports. Paramount+'s ad-supported plan (Paramount Essential) gives you access to live streams of the NFL on CBS and the UEFA Champions League. So, which is better? If you want a consistent stream of original and popular content, Disney+ is the way to go. But if sports is a dealbreaker and you follow Paramount+'s channels and few originals, then it's sure to be the better choice. You can read how they stack against each other in depth in the article below.
