Obviously it depends on how far you’re going back. Comparing HBO to Netflix over the last 30 years isn’t fair.

But let’s say last 5-7 years since streaming has taken off.

Netflix
Amazon
Hulu
HBO
Disney
Other ?

Cable, I get HBO max included for free

ETA: with cable I also have access to the ESPN, CBS sports and Spectrum tv apps on my phone or tablet

No, not HBO. Subscription service implies reoccurring payments, cable falls into that category. Everything else I have access to is just lagniappe but I subscribe to cable access. I’ve only used HBO max twice for recently released movies, other than that I typically just watch movie channels on my cable subscription. During College football season that is when I use the apps available to me when needed

What is this AMC+ you speak of? If I pay for cable which includes AMC do I have access to AMC+?

I mean Amazon because they add on all these channels for a subscription but usually give you a month free.

Netflix is in its own world and all about their content.

The straight to HBO Max releases has put it above the rest IMO

HBO is by far the best as it stands right now

The HBO channel on Prime is okay.

Serious question, is the HBO max stand alone that much better?

Prime offers tons of channels like AMC+, HBO, Starz, Cinemax, PBS docs...etc.

But the library feels limited apart from PBS docs.

I like HBO Max but if you don't have any of these then i would rank them accordingly:

Netflix
Hulu
Amazon
with HBO Max gaining on them quickly

But if you got children then disney would rank after netflix.

I like it for their new movies and their DC content.

For someone who’s had Netflix and Prime forever, HBOmax is way better.

Blockbuster-wise & family-content-wise, Disney has a strong game with all the Marvel movies/series, Star Wars movies/series, and Pixar animation movies/shorts, and including, the Disney Vault of animations, live action films and tv shows. Throw in Nat Geo channel, to boot.

I'm still grandfathered in at the $4/mo. early-register rate, but I think that will jump up to $8 in the fall, but that's still reasonable. They've already started offering in-home first-run theatrical releases (for an additional $30 fee) but the movies haven't been must-see enough (yet) to make me bite.

But with a Disney subscription alone, you'll never have access to stellar serious content like Chernobyl (HBO) or Breaking Bad (Netflix).
