1. Prices and plans
One of the main concerns of consumers is how much they will end up spending on luxury services out of their monthly budget. However, often the cheapest option is not the best, as the amount of content that comes on each of the platforms can be quite different, as is the streaming quality and much more. We’ll start this comparison talking about the streaming service of one of the biggest television channels of the moment, with gigantic series hits such as Game of Thrones, HBO Max. It is one of the best options out there, with loads of must-watch movies just waiting to be seen. It offers two very interesting plans with competitive prices, like these:
With Ads: $9.99/month or $99.99/year – This plan will give you access to most of the catalogue while also allowing you to watch it all in HD. Needless to say, it includes ads, so if you want a seamless watching experience you might be interested in the other plan; Ad-Free: $14.99/month or $149.99/year – This plan is not only completely free of ads, but also comes with other benefits such as having access to some movies in 4K HD, the ability to watch Warner Bros. 2021 premieres the day they come out and being able to download these shows to watch when you are offline.
It offers, unlike the competition, a single plan. This plan costs almost the same, at R$9.90 per month and, as described above, guarantees access to much more than just series and movies. It allows you to access up to three devices at the same time, in addition to having access to 4K resolution. Let’s start by looking at HBO Max, a service in which the user finds mostly original series, produced by HBO itself, which are not available anywhere else. The list includes big names such as Game of Thrones, Westworld, True Detective and Euphoria. In addition, there are new specials, series and exclusive Warner Media content on their service.
There are also a lot of movies, many of which are very recent. It is worth noting that this part of the catalog will always be changing, whether new movies are added or others are removed. Among the exclusives, we have series like Mr. Robot, This is Us, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Fleabag, all very well received and awarded by critics. Speaking of movies, it has just over 2600 titles, many of which are original to the platform. It features classic titles such as John Wick, The Lord of the Rings, The Wolf of Wall Street and more recent ones, such as Aladdin’s live-action. Its interfaces are very simple and easy to use, with small differences that end up not impacting its usability. In both, you can download content to watch what you want offline, without wasting your mobile data connection, but only under certain plans.
