The Best Live TV Streaming Services (Ranked Objectively)

There are so many streaming service rankings online, so how is this one different? For two reasons: 1- the ranking, like everywhere else on The Spool is made 100% objectively. We don't rank streaming services based on affiliate earnings. 2- this is an exhaustive list. If a streaming service is noteworthy, you'll find it here.

Our criteria:

  • Channels per dollar: how many channels do you get for each dollar of monthly subscription fee?
  • Trial: How many days of trial, if any, do you get? This is ranked out of 7, with a 7 day trial offering a +1 score, and a 3.5 day trial offering a +0.5 score
  • Channels: a streaming service can be free, but that doesn't mean necessarily that it's good. Here, we ask which of the most coveted channels does each service have?
    • ESPN: As one of the most prized channels for live TV packages, having ESPN adds a +1 score to the streaming service
    • TNT: +1 score point
    • NFL Network: +1 score point
    • NBC: +1 score point
    • CBS: +1 score point
    • FX: +0.5 score point
  • Devices: bonus points for availability on modern streaming devices
    • Roku App: +0.25 score point
    • Amazon Fire app: +0.25 score point

All of this is calculated into what we call the "Spoolscore": the ultimate measure for the quality of a streaming service.
