If you are paying for multiple streaming services individually, you may be paying too much.
Streaming services are now bundling (ironic, as they started as alternatives to cable) so you can save money by combining streaming services rather than paying for them a la carte.
The “best” bundles are the ones being offered as add-ons to your cable, internet, or cell provider.
To help you find the best options, we’re going to start by breaking the list up by the internet or cell phone service you currently pay for. This is where you’ll get the best options.
🖋️ This is a work in progress as these bundles are constantly changing so if you know of any ones I’ve missed or something has changed, please let me know!

American Express Digital Entertainment Credit
Remember, if you have an American Express Platinum Card, you can enroll to get $20 a month towards streaming services. Details.
Verizon Fios
Verizon Fios offers a few bundles:
- Disney Bundle: Disney+, Hulu (with Ads), and ESPN+ (with Ads) for $10/month
- Netflix + Max: Netflix Standard with Ads, Max (with Ads Plan) for $10/month
- Apple One: Apple Music, Apple tv+, Apple Arcade, and Apple iCloud for $10-20/month
- YouTube Premium: $10 a month
Verizon also offers a +Play service that lets you add on premium subscriptions, essentially building your own bundle:
- Netflix: Premium $24.99/mo
- Max: $16.99/mo
- Paramount+: $7.99/mo
- STARZ: $10.99/mo
- Peacock: $7.99/mo
- AMC+: $6.99/mo
- and several more lesser known streaming services
Comcast Xfinity
If you use Comcast Xfinity, they have StreamSaver, which is a $15/month bundle that includes:
- Netflix Standard with ads (normally $7.99/month)
- Peacock Premium with ads (normally $7.99/month)
- Apple TV+ (normally $9.99/month)
T-Mobile
If you get Go5G Phone service, you can get Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads, and Hulu (With Ads) for free.
You can get 6 months of SiriusXM All Access (App Only) but then it auto renews for $9.99 a month.
You also get Pandora Premium for 4 months, then renews at current rate.
Disney+ Bundle
Disney offers two bundles direclty on their website:
- Disney+ and Hulu: $10.99 a month
- Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+: $16.99 a month
There is also this offer, which I saw in an ad, which swaps out ESPN+ for Max (more than fair trade depending on what you watch!):
- Disney+, Hulu, and Max: (with Ads) $16.99 a month
- Disney+, Hulu, and Max: (No Ads) $29.99 a month
Paramount+
Paramount+ can sometimes be included as an add-on but otherwise you have to get it directly, usually bundled with Showtime as a free add-on. The cost is $12.99 per month.
💵 Often, you can get a month for free, just use this link to see if there’s a free month offer available right now. This works for existing and new customers but you enter in a credit card number so you will be charged once the month-long trial is over.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV is an $83/month service that isn’t included in any bundles I could find.
You can, however, add some services to it like NFL Sunday Ticket, Paramount+ with Showtime, Starz and Max for $30 a month.
What We Use
Right now, we are subscribed to:
- AppleTV+
- Netflix
- Hulu
- Disney+
We use Verizon Fios so we currently are using their Disney Bundle to get Disney+ and Hulu. Then we pay for AppleTV+ and Netflix separately. We have four kids so we need the Netflix plan that allows for multiple uses at once, which is not included in any bundle. AppleTV+ is a relatively new service, we got new phones and kept the plan to finish out a few shows.
So while we are bundled up, we will likely start juggling our subscriptions as shows come and go.
