Update 10/8/24: So far, we’ve been let down a little bit in the variety of streaming deals available. However, it does show just how great it is to sign up for Prime during Prime Day (or ‘Prime Big Deal Days’) events, as you get a month of free streaming out of it, too!

If you’ve been shopping through the Prime Big Deal Days event, then you already know that many of the best deals are on electronics. Whether you picked up a hot Prime Big Deal Days TV deal or one of the great laptop or tablet deals available in Best Buy’s alternative Big Deal Days event, you’ll need some content to watch on it. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with just watching Twitch or YouTube all of the time, but the best series and movies are all going to be on streaming services. We’ve found the following deals to be the very best on some of the best streaming services around.

The best Prime Big Deal Days streaming service deals

Here’s what to go after today:

  • — Sure, it’s cheeky, but this is free with your Prime free trial that you’re probably already getting to cash in on the other Prime-exclusive deals you’re taking advantage of today.
  • — Free month of Premium Pass with a base subscription
  • — $3 per month for 6 months, compare to $20 for a 6 month package (10% savings)
  • — $65/mo. $73/mo. 11% off

How to choose a streaming service on Prime Day

There are a lot of different streaming services out there, and to an extent, you can’t go wrong with whichever one you decide to sign up for. As we’re talking about sales season here, a good starting point is to think about how much you want to spend. It might seem obvious, but it’s important to take a good look at the deals and evaulate exactly what they offer you. Are there deals that are just for a few months at a time but at an awesome price? Perhaps your best plan here is to sign up to try something while it’s super cheap and remember to cancel it before the price goes back up. Ultimately, there’s no one streaming service to rule them all anymore, so whatever you go for, you’ll find something on the service to watch.

However, we do have guides on the best streaming services. Netflix is the household name for streaming services, and the best shows on Netflix continue to be pretty special. However, you may also wish to consider Disney Plus if you want something more family-friendly. The best shows on Disney Plus are focused on things like Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and Disney, so the whole family will be delighted. Other options include streaming services like Hulu with the best movies on Hulu and (if you signed up for Amazon Prime just for the sale) also be sure to check out the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

How we chose these streaming service Prime Day deals

We track down all the best streaming service Prime Day deals the same way that we do with any other deals — via a lot of research. We only feature the best streaming services. That means we look at the streaming services that we would use ourselves. We skip featuring anything that we deem inferior — who wants to waste their cash on something that they’ll hardly use?

A good deal is only a good deal if it fulfills two criteria: it’s good quality, and it’s cheaper than the rest. So that’s exactly what we’re focusing on here. All the streaming deals above are good services that are worth using, and they are priced well, so you’re gaining a lot for your money.

Where possible, we feature the streaming deals that offer the most content, either through bundle deals or by simply having the latest shows and movies. The best value comes from the services that you use all the time rather than only occasionally check out.
