Netflix Alternatives | Some Other Best Streaming Options for Your Entertainment

While Netflix is a popular streaming service, at times, you might get bored with the same options and want to stream something else. This is where you can look for better-streaming services such as HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Disney Plus, BET, or even better, Amazon Prime Video. All these streaming services offer a wide network of television, live streaming, web shows, and movies from multiple channels, which makes them even better.

1. HBO Max | Warner Bros and Discovery Global Streaming

HBO Max is a division of Warner Bros and Discovery Global streaming, offering a wide variety of popular movies and shows. The platform also introduces “Max,” a better version of this streaming service with multiple plans that support your streaming budget.

HBO Max has two plans; Ad-supported and Ad-free. Unlike Netflix, you still get to see Ads even after paying for the channel, and if you wish to get rid of the Ads, you will have to subscribe to a higher plan. The ad-supported plan costs $10/Mo with HD viewing and three screens, and there are no offline downloads to watch later. At the same time, the Ad-free plan costs you $16/Mo with 4K Ultra HD, 30 offline downloads, and three screens. 

Max has three plans and accommodates more titles in their watch library. In my opinion, it’s an upgraded version of HBO Max but with an extra plan to make it budget-friendly and new titles from other channels for distributed streaming. The first plan is $10/Mo; this is Ad-supported, with two screens and an HD streaming plan, a lot similar to HBO Max. The second plan is $16/mo; it is an Ad-free plan with two screens, HD streaming, and 30 offline downloads. The last and final plan is the $20 plan which allows streaming on four screens, 100 downloads, and 4K Ultra HD entertainment.

2. Paramount Plus | Viacom CBS & More

Paramount Plus is an entertainment hub that users love, with 30,000+ movies and tv shows. It is a single platform to watch your favorite movies and shows from various other ViacomCBS media such as BET, CBS, and more.

A perfect alternative to Netflix, Paramount Plus is the biggest entertainment hub. Although, users are a little unhappy with a recent surge in plans and pricing of this streaming platform. Paramount Plus has two plans and pricing; a $5.99/Mo plan and an $11.99/Mo plan, and both of these are designed per your entertainment convenience.

The $11.99/Mo is a premium, Ad-free plan that supports streaming tens of thousands of episodes and movies, NFL and CBS championships, 24/7 live news, and offline downloads. It is a popular plan also for the ad-free streaming service, but you will still find some ads on live tv and a few shows.

On the contrary, the $5.99/Mo plan has limited ads, no CBS local live station, and no option for downloading the episodes offline. It is a budget option and does not offer you full fledge use of the streaming service.

3. BET (Black Entertainment Television)

BET (Black Entertainment Television) is an American pay television channel targeting African American audiences. Popular among the people in the United States, Canada, and France, BET has been a center of attention for streaming popular and controversial programs. More than 85% of American households watch BET channels on their TV, and to get access to it, you first need to activate BET Plus on your device with a valid subscription.

BET Plus has two subscription options; essential and premium plans. The essential plan costs $5.99/mo (plus tax) and is an ad-supported platform with limited ads and access to the BET library. The premium plan costs $9.99/mo with an ad-free experience and access to the wide BET library. You can save up to 20% on both essential and annual plans when you opt for annual billing, and BET offers a 7-day free trial before the billing period starts.

Does Netflix Offer Refunds?

Have you been in one of those situations when you wondered, I will cancel Netflix next month and totally forgot about it? Only to realize later that the billing period has come to an end, and your card has been charged again. Does Netflix offer refunds?

Well, no. Not really. At least, as per my knowledge. If there is a way to get a refund, do let us all know in the comment section.

Netflix does not offer refunds, and if you choose to cancel Netflix before the billing period ends, you can still use the service uninterrupted till your billing month or period completes. This way, you still get to use the Netflix service for what you have paid, and you won’t be charged once the billing period ends.

However, if Netflix mistakenly charges you for a new billing period even after you choose to cancel and also get an email about it, you can reach out to their support team with the evidence, and you should be getting a refund. Also, if you have opted for monthly plans or mobile-only plans and Netflix charges you annually instead, you can report it to Netflix support and get your money back.
