Streaming services are evolving into completely distinct offerings, and some, by including many features, have gotten more expensive than others. This is the case of Fubo for example, who offer movies on-demand but also over a 100 cable channels. 

Below we count down the best expensive streaming services. 

1. T-Mobile & Apple TV+

Much like its longstanding “Netflix On Us” bundle, T-Mobile’s “Apple TV+ On Us” bundle gives select customers a free subscription to Apple TV+. Specifically, those with Go5G Next or Go5G Plus lines in good standing are eligible to watch all of Apple TV+’s original films and TV shows at no additional cost and share their subscriptions with up to five other people. In all, the bundle saves you up to $10 each month. Meanwhile, customers of T-Mobile’s Go5G plan, while not eligible for a free Apple TV+ subscription, are qualified for a six-month free trial. After that, the plan automatically renews at $9.99/month unless canceled. 

2. T-Mobile & Vix Bundle (Metro plan)

If you join any of T-Mobile’s Metro unlimited 5G plans, which start at $40/month, you get a free one-year subscription to Vix Premium as part of the T-Mobile & Vix bundle. Vix is a specialized streaming service that has hundreds of telenovelas, films, news programs, and live channels catered to Hispanic viewers, making this bundle perfect for Spanish-speaking viewers. Vix also has the distinction of being the streaming home of fútbol leagues like Liga MX and UEFA Champions League, so if you ever want to watch tournaments on the go with unlimited data, definitely consider this bundle. 

As of the moment, it’s available to new and existing Metro customers alike, just make sure you register for the code and redeem it within 30 days. The cheapest tier of this bundle includes a ScamShield plan, while the more expensive tiers, which range from $50-$60/month, include all this plus a 100GB Google One membership. 

3. Sprint + Hulu Bundle

The Sprint and Hulu bundle gives you access to Hulu’s ad-supported plan at zero additional cost. Access to the streaming service comes free with Sprint’s Unlimited Plus plan, which gives you unlimited texts, calls, and data for $70/month. There’s also a 15GB mobile hotspot perk that will come in handy if you want to watch Hulu on the go. Hulu, of course, is an on-demand streaming service with award-winning original series like The Bear, Atlanta, and Reservation Dogs, as well as licensed titles like Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  

The ad-supported Hulu plan can be used simultaneously by up to two devices. If you want to buy add-ons or upgrade your Hulu plan, the purchases will reflect on your next Sprint billing. 

4. Cricket Wireless + Max Bundle

If you purchase Cricket Wireless’ unlimited phone plan, you get a free account with Max bundled in. Through Max’s ad-supported plan, you can watch countless HBO shows, Warner Brothers movies, and Discovery documentaries on your phone, and you can also create up to 5 profiles and simultaneously stream on 3 different devices (including a smart TV). This bundle is only available on Cricket’s most expensive unlimited phone plan, which costs $60, but along with Max, it also comes with 15 GB mobile hotspot, 150 GB cloud storage, unlimited texts to select countries, and coverage extending to Mexico and Canada. It’s a fair price and one of the few phone-streaming bundles available now that AT&T has discontinued its Max bundles.

5. Netflix + DirecTV Stream Bundle

The Netflix + DirecTV Stream Bundle lets you link your Netflix account to your DirecTV Stream account so you can receive a single bill (from DirecTV) for both subscriptions. For now, the bundle doesn’t offer discounts, nor does it integrate Netflix on the DirecTV Stream app. It’s also only available to those subscribed to Netflix’s premium account. Still, the bundle is handy for those who already have too many bills to worry about, so if you’ve been wanting to streamline your entertainment apps, then this offer is worth checking out. 

6. NASA+

NASA+ is the space agency’s official, ad-free, and on-demand streaming service. It carries original shows and movies that feature NASA’s discoveries on the cosmos and beyond and intimate interviews with the astronauts and scientists behind these projects. There are also animated kids’ shows and Spanish-language content for younger viewers and families to enjoy, as well as high-definition intergalactic videos set to interesting sounds, in case you’re not in the mood to watch anything too heavy. The app, which can be downloaded on iOS, Android, Roku, and Apple TV, is completely free and requires no sign-up to access.

7. DirecTV Stream Choice

There’s a reason why DirecTV Stream Choice is the provider’s most popular package to date: it carries over 105 channels, many of which are specialty sports channels like Big Ten Network, MLB Network, and NBA TV; it has local channels and RSNs where available; it offers premium add-ons like Starz and HBO; and maybe most important of all, it’s still under a hundred bucks, which is not something you can say about most live TV packages these days.

In other words, Stream Choice is for those looking for extra sports coverage while wanting to enjoy the usual benefits of DirecTV, like unlimited screens and DVR, and keeping it all under a reasonable budget. 

8. DirecTV Stream Premier

The most cable-like live TV package to date, DirecTV Stream Premier carries every possible channel you can think of. The sports department has ESPN and Fox Sports, to name a few, plus all the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB specialty channels. Meanwhile, the entertainment department has premium networks like HBO, Starz, Cinemax, and Showtime. It even has RSNs and local channels, all of which total more than 150 channels, so if you want your subscription to cover multiple bases, this is as comprehensive as it gets. All this comes to a hefty $160/month, which seems like a lot for a cord-cutting service, but with features like unlimited screens and DVR, it’s worth considering if you have the budget to spare.

9. Netflix + Max $10 Verizon Bundle

Good news for Verizon mobile customers: you’re eligible to bundle two of streaming’s powerhouse players, Netflix and Max, for just $10/month. Verizon’s Netflix + Max bundle includes both of the streamers’ ad-supported plans, which go for $7 and $10 respectively, and shaves more than 40% off their usual price. Not only is this package a steal, it’s also a rare move on Netflix’s part, which isn’t usually too keen on bundles. The Netflix + Max is also stackable, meaning you can pair it with another $10-bundle from Verizon (we suggest the Disney-Hulu-ESPN bundle to get the most out of the discounts). 

This bundle is available to Verizon customers on the Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Ultimate plans, just don’t forget to enroll in the provider’s myPlan subscription first. 

10. Fubo Latino

Cord-cutters only interested in Spanish-language content will find much to like in Fubo Latino. Instead of the usual lineup, the Latino plan carries more than 65 channels in Spanish, including Unimas, Univision, BeinSports, Nat Geo Mundo, Sony Cine, and Discovery en Español. And since Fubo started as a soccer streaming service, it also has live sporting events featuring leagues like the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, and MLS. 

At only $33/month, it’s Fubo’s most affordable plan yet, but it still has base features like 250 hours worth of cloud DVR and two simultaneous streams. If you already have a Fubo base plan, Fubo also offers these channels as an add-on for $20/month.
