The Best FREE Streaming Service for Cord Cutting Is… (September 2018)

We often get asked what the best free streaming service is but instead of telling you what I think, last week we asked 2,000 of our readers what they thought.

Here is the full break down of votes:

• The Roku Channel: 45.5%
• Pluto TV: 33.8%
• Sony Crackle: 11.6%
• Tubi: 8.2%
• Popcornflix: 1%

Roku jumped about 5% from the summer of 2018 according to this survey. They seemed to have taken market share from Tubi, Sony Crackle, and Pluto TV. They combined to lose just about 5% compared to the same survey in the summer of 2018.

Clearly the Roku Channel has found favor among many cord cutters and is taking on long-entrenched services like Pluto TV and Tubi. The question now is can they hang on to it or will services like Sony Crackle retake the lead as the best free live TV streaming service according to our readers.
