Still the king of content volume and original programming. The ad-supported tier at $7.99 is the best value streaming deal in Australia. For most households, Netflix is the one you keep when you cancel everything else.
If you want Australian drama, comedy, and same-day US shows, Stan is unbeatable. Bump TV, The Tourist, and a growing library of Stan Originals. It's the most underrated streamer in Australia.
All the HBO content โ The Last of Us, Succession, White Lotus, Game of Thrones. If you care about critically acclaimed drama, Binge is essential. The ad tier at $10 is decent value.
You don't need all seven services at once. Subscribe to 2-3, binge what you want, then swap. Most services are month-to-month with no contract. Rotating saves $50-100/month easily.
A Chromecast with Google TV or Apple TV 4K gives you one interface for all your streaming apps. Much better than juggling smart TV apps.
