Cable-replacement streaming services follow similar pricing patterns to regular cable: the more you pay, the more channels you can watch. PS Vue offers four monthly subscription tiers: Access, Core, Elite, and Ultra. Note that Sony raised the price of each of its plans by $5 per month. These price increases are already in place for new subscribers and will take effect for existing subscribers for their payment due after July 31.
The entry-level Access plan now costs $49.99 per month and features 50 channels. The channel lineup includes typical networks, such as CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC. News coverage is strong, with BBC America, CNBC, CNN, and MSNBC making an appearance, but this tier's sports coverage is limited to a few local networks, ESPN, and ESPN2. Rounding out the list are popular entertainment and lifestyle channels such as AMC, Animal Planet, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Food Network, HGTV, SyFy, and Travel Channel.

The plan also includes dedicated movie channels, such as Epix Hits and FXM. The top-tier Ultra plan goes for $84.99 per month and includes everything in the Elite package, along with HBO and Showtime.

The news follows a recent trend in streaming services casually notching up their prices. Perhaps most notably, Netflix tacked on $2 per month to its most popular plan in January, and in late March, DAZN, the sports streaming service looking to corner the boxing market, doubled its monthly cost, from $9.99 per month to $19.99, and killed its free trial.
Hulu made a different move byproviding a single package for all. The base price is $44.99/month. Which givesaccess to live TV along with all the Hulu originals. Since there is no contractor commitment you can cancel the plan any time after subscription. Moreover, 7days free trial period will give the subscriber full access. The trial optionwill help the subscriber to know the service well.
But who offers the best service? Is it easy to cobble together different plans to get what you really want? We asked readers and they have responded. Nearly every one pays the $9.99 a month for Netflix, but Americans cannot live on Netflix alone. 2ff7e9595c
