The Top 4 Streaming Services for 2020

Streaming is the future of entertainment in the world right now. Unlike renting or even going to the cinema, people prefer to have their series delivered to them and to just watch as much as they like from the comfort of their homes. 

However, given the abundance of streaming services, making a choice has to be a difficult task. So, we checked out PCMag for some help and came up with the best streaming services available today:

Netflix

 

 

There's no doubt about the fact that Netflix will be topping this chart. Still the godfather of al streaming services, Netflix has been able to hold its majority share of the video streaming market pretty well. 

As we all know, Netflix provides a wide catalog of movies, TV shows, documentaries, comedy specials, and even original programs now; all for a monthly subscription fee that's quite manageable. When it comes to its catalog, there's no other streaming service that has been able to give Netflix a proper run for its money; it might not be the cheapest of the bunch, but its offering of content makes it by far the best choice up until now. 

With Netflix, you would create up to 5 profiles on one account just to ensure that your best programs don't infringe on the recommendations for your loved ones and friends who might be sharing the account with you. Now, that's versatility. 

Hulu

 

 

Hulu has long been the most significant threat that Netflix has faced, up until recently (more on that later). For people who would like to keep current with TV shows but who don't want to get HD antennae or cable subscription, this is a perfect choice here. 

Hulu provides major network shows to its customers (except for CBS offerings), as well as a sizable number of cable shows. There are also some original shows here, a few offbeat options, and a surprising vast catalog of anime offerings. Sadly, its experience isn't all that great; even if you get a paid subscription, you might still need to listen to commercials. 

Disney+

 

 

Disney+ is the great disruptive force that the streaming market needed. Netflix and Hulu were free to keep their almost duopoly running, but when a big fish like Disney stepped into the market last year, everyone was forced to re-strategize. 

The only reason why Disney+ isn't higher on this list is because it's still relatively new (it was launched a little over 2 months ago). However, in terms of content, it packs a punch as well. Now that it is available, most of the content from Disney could be pulled from Netflix and streamed on here. 

Remember that Disney is perhaps the most powerful entertainment behemoth. Its subsidiaries include Marvel Entertainment (the Avengers and all affiliated superheroes), Lucasfilm (the entire Star Wars universe), Pixar (your favorite animated content), and much more.  

There's no doubt that Disney+ will be taking more market share from Hulu soon and giving Netflix a good run for its money this year. 

Emby

 

 

For those outliers who love to stand out from the crows, Emby is the right choice. Of course, the biggest benefit of Emby is its ability to get both audio and video content from all over the internet and stream it right to any of your devices. 

By coupling Seedbox with Emby, you are able to take your favorite media anywhere you go, regardless of your device. On Emby, you get a personalized server, which automatically converts and streams your media, so you have it with you always.
