Family watching TV

Family watching TVWhen cancelling cable, two top concerns are whether the switch to streaming will be cost effective and whether streaming services will offer all the channels a viewer wants to watch. Sometimes, a great streaming service will be missing a few channels and a cord cutter will subscriber to multiple services to get the full package.

Cost & Content

YouTube TV costs $49.99/month and offers 70+ channels of live and on-demand news, sports, and entertainment. While YouTube TV has many of the major channels, it’s also missing a few of the big ones, including Hallmark and Lifetime channels. That’s where Philo comes in. This $20/month subscription is lacking news and sports, which keeps the cost down, but offers entertainment channels that are missing from YouTube TV.

For $70/month, you’ll get over 100 live streaming channels, plus on-demand libraries with thousands of titles.
