How to get Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video or Netflix for ‘free’ — and what to know before you sign up – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)

TV and movie fans are floating on a sea of streaming video subscription services. That’s good news for binge watchers, but not-so-good news for their budgets.

While prices can be as low as $4.99 a month (for Apple TV+), a household’s monthly streaming expenses can quickly add up as viewers tack on subscriptions to chase their favorite shows and movies. For example, fans of ’90s sitcoms may want both Hulu, which has “Seinfeld,” and HBO Max, the new HBO offering set to debut in 2020, which will have “Friends.”

Meanwhile the $6.99-a-month Disney+ DIS, +0.08% has been popular with families looking for kid-friendly content, racking up 10 million subscribers since its November launch.

Unfortunately for viewers trying to keep their spending in check, we often underestimate how much we spend on our various streaming subscriptions. Luckily, there are some deals and discounts on the better-known video streaming services, but viewers should be discerning about these offers, experts told MarketWatch.

“It’s sort of like a perfect storm of companies that are really looking to tie you to their services, melding with companies that have new services they want you to try,” Willcox told MarketWatch. AT&T T, +2.79% , for example, would love to have you as both a phone customer and a streaming customer, just as Apple AAPL, -0.78% wants you to buy its devices and watch its new Apple TV+.
