So Netflix just hit me with another price hike and I'm honestly over it at this point. Like, $24.99 for the premium tier? That's getting ridiculous. Been looking into what else is out there and turns out there are some solid netflix alternative options that won't drain your wallet as much.

Started checking out Discovery+ and it's actually pretty good if you're into home improvement or cooking shows. They've got all the HGTV and Food Network stuff for like $5.99, or $9.99 without ads. That's less than half of what Netflix wants now.

Peacock caught my attention too since I watch a lot of sports. They've got Premier League, NFL stuff, and all the NBC shows the day after they air. Running me about $7.99 with ads or $13.99 clean. Way cheaper than Netflix alternative plans.

Paramount+ is another one I'm testing out. CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central content plus NFL and March Madness if you're into that. Same $7.99 starting price. Honestly for a netflix alternative that covers sports and network shows, it's solid.

If you're a Disney person, their bundle with Hulu is kind of a no-brainer at $10.99. Gets you Disney movies, Hulu originals, and all that ABC and FOX content. You can throw ESPN+ on top if you want.

Apple TV+ is more expensive at $9.99 but the shows are actually quality. Severance, Ted Lasso, that kind of thing. No ads either which is nice.

Here's the wild part though - Tubi and Roku Channel are completely free. Yeah, with ads, but free. Tubi's got like 275,000 titles and Roku has 500+ live channels. Probably not as polished as Netflix but if you're just looking to cut costs to zero, they work.

I'm thinking about just rotating between a couple of these instead of paying Netflix's prices. Between all these netflix alternative options, there's definitely enough content to keep me busy without spending $25 a month. What are you guys doing about the price hikes?
