Now is the time to differentiate between tow most popular content streaming services Amazon Prime and Netflix. I have used both the services for one month. Here are my thoughts on it.
The world is advancing in technology and with a number of alternatives that are available to almost everything, it's natural that common man will get confused while choosing between them. Same is the case with video streaming services. There are many video streaming services available on the internet today. Sony Liv, Hotstar, Zee5, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hungama Play, Youtube premium are some of popular content streaming services.
Each service offering something unique which other service doesn't offer. While you have freedom of choice to select whichever service you want, the problem is any service you select you are going to miss good things in the rest of the services. So if you are selecting a service to watch the video with a monthly charge why not select the best service? So for selecting the best video streaming service among them, you will have to go through the pros and cons of all the streaming services.
Sony Liv service is exclusively for fans of Sony Channels. If you have an account on this service then almost all the content is available for free. Only things that come with a premium account are live TV channels like SAB TV, Sony, and some others. While it is worth noting that all the content on these channels is offered free one day after the content is streamed on these channels. So as long as you don't have problems watching TV shows after they are live streamed on TV there is no need for a premium account.
Hotstar is famous for live streaming of sports which none of the other streaming services offer. So that makes it compulsory to buy a Hotstar subscription to watch all the live sports events if you are a super fan of sports. Other than that movies available on Hotstar can be watched using the free account.
Zee5 is also a content streaming service popular in India but not many people know about this service. Premium subscription to Zee 5 services gives you access to some of the best Bollywood movies and some Zee 5 original TV series which you can't watch elsewhere. So you don't need a Zee 5 subscription for watching two to three Zee 5 original web series.
Now is the time to differentiate between tow most popular content streaming services Amazon Prime and Netflix. I have used both the services for one month. Here are my thoughts on it.
Netflix is mostly based on Hollywood and has tons of Hollywood movies and web series. It also has Bollywood movies and web series but to an extent. Many of the original titles of Netflix are mostly Hollywood based. Indian titles can be counted on fingers and mostly include shows like Sacred games, Selection day, Lust stories, Little things S2 and some more. The monthly pricing of Netflix starts from ₹500 onwards and on the basic plan of ₹500, you get standard 720p videos and simultaneous access to only one screen.
Amazon Prime, on the other hand, has tons of Bollywood movies and TV series. Latest movies like Manikarnika and Gullyboy are also present while I found missing on Netflix. Loads of local content is present. Some of them include Breathe, inside edge, Mirzapur, bahubali anime continuation and so on. In terms of Hollywood to trending movies like The meg and English web series like chilling adventures of Sabrina are present. Additionally, with Amazon Prime, you get access to one-day free delivery, Prime music and free access to tons of Kindle ebooks which is not available on Netflix. The pricing for Amazon prime is ₹129 per month which is a lot less than Netflix and if you pay yearly its ₹999. You can watch full 1080p content with this pack and have simultaneous access to about 3 screens.
So to conclude if you are thinking of buying a content streaming service you must definately go for Amazon Prime as I find it a lot better than Netflix in terms of content and pricing.
