Streaming platforms once offered an affordable way to access high-quality content. Today, however, nearly everything has transitioned to some form of streaming app, with costs significantly higher than in the past and the content often lacking in quality.
If you’re subscribed to all the major streaming services, you might find yourself paying as much, if not more, than you did for traditional cable services. It’s quite astonishing.
But worry not! There’s a solution to this dilemma. Below, you’ll find a list of the best free streaming services and apps available as alternatives to paid streaming. This is particularly relevant today, given the recent surge in subscription fees observed across the board. Major platforms including Netflix, Hulu, and others have all seen their prices go up over the last year.
Apps for Streaming Movies: Amazon Freevee
Amazon Freevee has quickly become a favorite among free streaming service users. Originally launched as IMDb TV, we provided an overview when it first hit the scene.
This up-and-coming streaming platform offers a wide selection of popular movies, TV shows, and live channels—all available at no cost. Unique to Freevee are its original titles, which aren’t available on other platforms.
Compatible with web browsers and the Amazon Prime app, Freevee enables streaming of its free content directly to iOS or Android devices. It’s also accessible on various devices including PS5, Google TV, Roku, Fire TV, Smart TVs, Xbox, and more. An interesting feature of Freevee is its ability to display cast information of the movie or TV show you’re watching, along with their upcoming projects.
While Freevee can be used on streaming devices without the need to log in, signing in offers the benefit of synchronizing your watchlist across devices. Importantly, there’s no requirement to be an Amazon Prime or Prime Video subscriber to enjoy Freevee’s offerings, despite Amazon being the parent company of both services.
