Fall TV is dropping new TV shows like leaves falling from the trees. As much as you'd like to watch them all on the best streaming services , you might not have the budget to subscribe to everything. So I'm here to help you decide which services to keep this month and which you can cancel (or pause) until next month.
Americans now pay an average of $46 a month for streaming services, according to Forbes — or a hefty $552 a year. But you can save money on streaming by getting rid of a service or two for a short time. It's easy to re-subscribe later when there's a new show or movie you truly cannot miss.
For October 2024, I would cancel Prime Video and Max. The latter is our No. 1 pick among streaming services, but no major titles are debuting or airing in the next month.
The same goes for Prime Video. While both have some interesting offerings, they're not must-see, must-subscribe enough in my book. Here's why I think you should consider canceling Max and Prime Video this month.
Nothing big is coming to Max or Prime Video in October 2024 While both Max and Prime Video boast massive libraries, a lot of their titles will still be there next month. What really draws in new users (and keeps existing ones sticking around) are originals. And in October, both services have thin original lineups.
Max, of course, streams HBO shows, and there's a fresh one coming down the pike: the Hollywood satire "The Franchise" on Oct. 6. The comedy follows the crew of a superhero movie in the midd.
