Disney+ and Hulu may be owned by the same company, but they're quite different services. Which one is more worth your money? Our guide will help you decide.
Today’s viewers have more options than ever when it comes to choosing a streaming platform. Whether you’re in the market for new exclusive shows, access to live TV, or a library that has your comfort shows available, you no longer have to compromise. Of course, with so many excellent options available, narrowing things down to just one streaming provider can be a difficult task.
Alternatively, Disney+ is the streaming home of all things Disney. This includes the likes of Star Wars, National Geographic, Pixar, and Marvel, along with the vault of movies from Disney itself. Its the best place for new Disney movies, along with exclusive shows like Agatha All Along, and Star Wars: Ahsoka. If you have kids, there is also a wealth of kid-friendly content here, including favorites from years ago.
Hulu is a little bit trickier, but only because they have more options. Their ad-supported tier is $10 a month, or $100 per year, while the ad-free tier will run you $19 each month. However, its worth remembering that there are still a few programs that will run ads before or after programs, even if you’re on the ad-free plan. There is also Hulu + Live TV. If you don’t care about streaming anything from the VOD library at all, you can snag Hulu + Live TV for $82 per month.
If Hulu + Live TV isn’t a priority for you, then you’ll want to bundle through Disney+. The Disney Duo Basic Bundle will run you $11 per month, and gets you access to the ad-supported tier of both Hulu and Disney. For $20 per month, you can bundle the two services without ads on the Disney Duo Premium Bundle. Disney also offers several bundles that include Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, as well as bundle options that include the Max streaming service .
Interface and accessibility Both Disney+ and Hulu look great, and are fairly intuitive to use. They both use categories, with tiles for each program, making it easy to scroll through the options when you’re looking for something to watch. You’ll find featured shows and movies at the top of the screen, and filtering by category is a breeze. Both providers also have hubs for specific content, to try and make it easier to find the shows you want to watch.
