How much do streaming platforms cost and which is the cheapest in Argentina

It is increasingly difficult to choose what type of streaming platforms to hire at home. To have all those that are available in the country, with the newest as Star+, Disney+ and HBO Max, almost 3700 pesos are needed per month. To this, of course, you have to add the internet subscription to be able to access the different catalogs. What used to be bundled in premium cable service packages, which generally separated between sports, adult content, and cinema, has now been completely diversified.

Studies like Paramount and Warner Bros. Pictures understood that the business was not to assign the distribution rights to other companies such as Netflix O Amazon Prime Video, but develop their own platforms to offer their titles. If services like DIRECTV GO, Flow, Movistar Play and Clear Video, for which you have to pay an average of a thousand pesos and work almost like a traditional cable service, below you will see the list of services from the most expensive to the cheapest in Argentina.

10 – Star+

The recently enabled Star+ It is the most expensive of the platforms and costs 880 pesos per month. With content as valuable as the entire seasons of The Simpson, Lost and The X-Files, a large part of the price has to do with the possibility of watching sport live through the matches licensed by ESPN. It should also be noted that its price is reduced, almost by half, if it is contracted in combo with Disney+.
