Peacock vs. Paramount+ with Showtime

Peacock is owned and operated by NBCUniversal. It includes content from NBC, Bravo, and Universal Pictures, with some programming from a few of the company's other cable channels.

Paramount+, which didn't make our rating, is similar in that you get access to all CBS programming, including classic and current shows, plus on-demand access to movies from Paramount Pictures.

Paramount+ also produces some original content, including multiple  Star Trek  TV series that can only be seen on Paramount+. In addition, Paramount+ with Showtime subscription gives you full access to all Showtime premium cable channel programming.

Any live sporting events that NBC and its affiliate networks have the rights to broadcast can also be seen live on  Peacocktv.com/tv  . Live sporting events that CBS and its affiliates have the rights to broadcast can be seen on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Both services offer plans with or without ads.

Peacock vs. Disney+

Disney+, No. 3 in our rating of the Best On-Demand Streaming Services, is operated by The Walt Disney Company. As a result, this streaming service gives you access to all programming from the ABC Television Network, as well as original shows and movies, content from National Geographic, and programming from the Disney Channel and a few other Disney-owned channels.

Disney+ also offers unlimited access to all Star Wars films and series, as well as all Marvel superhero films and series.

When you combine Disney+ with Hulu, or Hulu and ESPN+ (depending on the bundle plan you choose), this gives you a tremendous amount of additional programming – much more than Peacock offers.
