With people overwhelmed by the onslaught of mammoth streaming services, companies like Xumo are having a moment. A free, ad-supported hub for both live and on-demand content, Xumo is gaining ground in the streaming landscape.
Xumo was formed back in 2011, and was acquired by Comcast in February 2020. It now carries over 190 channels and averages 10 million monthly users.
If you’re in the market for a free alternative to subscription service streamers and you don’t mind ads, Xumo is a great option. Its content library tends to favor older TV and movies though, so it’s not for those who are concerned with tuning into the latest releases.
In addition to being free, Xumo’s users benefit from the typical streamer perks: you can watch from multiple devices at the same time, new content is added monthly, and viewers have access to a curated channel tailored to recommendations based on their watch history. It’s also easily accessible on streaming devices, Smart TVs, or right from the internet.
