Disney+ vs Starz: which is better?

With all the properties it has under its belt, Disney+ is no doubt better value for money. You get blockbusters from Marvel, meaningful documentaries from Nat Geo, and kid-friendly titles from Pixar and Disney Channel, in case you have a little one watching with you. But if you're just watching for one and have a dollar more to spare, Starz actually delivers on quality. It doesn't share Disney+'s versatility—mainly, its focus is on hard-hitting dramas—but when it makes a show it makes it well. And that's not to mention the movies it brings it in, which are a nice mix of box-office hits, indies, and beloved classics. Below, we break down the specifics of each to let you know which is ultimately the better service.
