The current Canadian streaming service landscape offers a plethora of options for every kind of viewer. However, this means many people end up amassing more services than they are happy to pay for. If you still want to keep your binge-watching needs covered but want to lower your streaming bill every month, then here are the top streaming services to keep into 2024.

Netflix

At 16.49 a month for a standard plan, Netflix is one of the pricier streaming services. However, the streaming giant justifies the price with a massive library and a constant stream of original content. Going into 2024, it remains a staple for its diverse range of genres and its commitment to producing high-quality shows and movies. From blockbuster series to indie documentaries, Netflix’s vast selection ensures there’s something for everyone. Those looking to save can opt for the $5.99 “standard with ads” plan.

Crave

A homegrown gem, Crave has established itself as a go-to platform for Canadians. It’s particularly appealing for its robust selection of HBO and Showtime series. What sets Crave apart is also its commitment to Canadian content, showcasing homegrown talents and stories. If you’re looking for a mix of international hits and local gems, Crave should be high on your list. Plans range from $9.99 to $19.99 a month depending on ads.

Disney+

For families and fans of all things Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, Disney+ is a dream come true. The platform continues to expand its library to include more classic Disney films and series, along with new, exclusive content. Its user-friendly interface and family-oriented content make it a favourite for households with children. A premium plan will currently cost you $14.99 a month.

Apple TV+

Apple TV+ has quickly made a name for itself with its lineup of critically acclaimed originals. Known for its investment in high-quality productions and big-name stars, Apple TV+ is the place for those who appreciate cinematic storytelling. While its library isn’t as extensive as others, the quality-over-quantity approach has garnered a loyal following that sees the $12.99 a month price tag as worth it.

Amazon Prime Video

A strong contender in the streaming world, Amazon Prime Video offers a vast selection that includes popular movies, TV shows, and impressive original content. It is included with an Amazon Prime Subscription, which costs only $9.99 a month or $99 a year, so if you like free shipping from Amazon, you may as well take advantage of its great streaming library as well.

Paramount+

Previously known as CBS All Access, Paramount+, brings with it a rich catalogue of content from CBS, Viacom, Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon content, all for just $9.99 a month. It’s a fantastic choice for those who enjoy classic TV shows and Paramount films. It is also a top choice for those looking for live sports broadcasts.

Whether you’re after the latest blockbusters, the most critically acclaimed shows, or family-friendly content, there’s a streaming service or a combination of platforms out there for you. Pick the ones that best suit your needs to keep your costs down and your entertainment factor up.
