Netflix vs Apple: which streaming subscription offers best value for money?

Amid rising energy bills, the announcement that Netflix will hike its prices – with its basic package increasing by £1 a month to £6.99 – seemed to pass without too much fuss. But, as the cost of living crisis hits, many households will be looking at which subscriptions to prioritise.

But with more of us subscribing to multiple streaming services (thanks, in part, to those spontaneous lockdown purchases) these extra costs have a habit of adding up – until you suddenly find yourself shelling out more than £50 a month on entertainment. All of which begs the obvious question: which streaming service gets you the most bang for your buck?

Interestingly enough, the filming location company Giggster just published its own comparison report into how the various streaming platforms do when it comes to value for money. In terms of releases from the past year and historical Oscar winners, they say that Netflix tops the table.
