How we rank

Every service is scored on the things that actually affect your experience: price and value, language and regional channel coverage, catalogue size (live + on-demand), device and app support, and track record. We weight a service’s “best for” heavily — a cheaper plan that nails your country beats a pricier generalist. A partner relationship never buys a higher score; read our disclosure for the full picture.
