All-around streaming

If you like content from Disney especially the MCU and Star Wars, Disney+ has attractive plans starting at PHP 159USD 3INR 230EUR 3CNY 20/mo for the mobile plan. You can even save by opting for the yearly plan of PHP 1,150USD 20INR 1,661EUR 19CNY 143/yr, which is like PHP 96USD 2INR 139EUR 2CNY 12/mo. Going for Premium would cost you PHP 369USD 6INR 533EUR 6CNY 46/mo (which is more affordable than Netflix’s Premium) but getting the annual of PHP 2,950USD 50INR 4,262EUR 48CNY 366/yr is like getting it for just PHP 246USD 4INR 355EUR 4CNY 31/mo. Not bad at all.

If you want an all-arounder, you can opt for Amazon Prime Video and HBO Go. Their plans are much more affordable than Netflix’s. However, Netflix still has a very solid catalog but is more expensive especially if you’re going to opt for the Premium package. Lionsgate Play is also available in the Philippines but is offered as an exclusive freebie to PLDT Fiber subscribers. For lifestyle content, Discovery+ is a good service.

For watching vlogs and music videos

If you spend a lot of time on YouTube watching your favorite vloggers or music video, going for YouTube Premium is worth it. YouTube ads are getting more and more annoying and the viewing experience is much better without them. If there are students in your household, you can also opt for the Student subscription for PHP 95USD 2INR 137EUR 2CNY 12/mo.

Asian drama

If you like watching Asian dramas, especially K-dramas, Netflix has a lot of them. However, if you want to add more to it, you can check out Viu Premium for PHP 129USD 2INR 186EUR 2CNY 16/mo or iQIYI VIP for PHP 169USD 3INR 244EUR 3CNY 21/mo for the Premium.

Anime

If you like watching Anime, Netflix also has plenty but if you want a wider catalog, Crunchyroll is one of the best, starting at PHP 99USD 2INR 143EUR 2CNY 12/mo for the Mega Fan subscription.

Local shows

If you like watching local TV shows and movies, Viva Max has very flexible plans and subscription duration. It has weekly, monthly, 3-months, 6-months, and annual, so you can choose which one that fits your needs. iWant TFC is also a good option as it offers a Free plan with ads. You can remove those ads by spending PHP 119USD 2INR 172EUR 2CNY 15/mo, which is not bad.

And there you have it. Given these plans, which one are you getting or removing? Share your preferred subscription plans in the comments below.
