Best free streaming services and apps (April 2025)

Streaming services used to be inexpensive and packed with high-quality content. Now, everything is a streaming service or app. Plus, these services are all so much more expensive than they used to be, and the content is subpar. If you're signed up for all the major streamers, you're probably paying the same or more than you did with cable, which is absolutely insane.

No longer, my friends! Here are the best free streaming services and apps you can look into if you want to ditch paid streaming. This is especially important right now, considering all the price hikes we've seen lately. All the top streamers have gotten more expensive over the past year, including Netflix, Hulu, and so many more. Plus, Netflix keeps raising prices over and over. Personally, I couldn't take it anymore, so I canceled my Netflix account (sorry, Mom, no more free rides!), and now I only use free streaming services. To be perfectly honest, I don't miss Netflix at all.
