Top Picks in streaming and sports entertainment

• Apple TV: It’s a great service, and this deal will save you $42 over six months.
• Disney+ and Hulu: Both the with-ads and ad-free deals offer substantial savings over a full year ($96 and $60 respectively).
• NFL Sunday Ticket: Football fans who snap up this deal will save $48 for the rest of the regular season.
• Starz: The one-year-for-$11.99 option is the one to take with this service.
• Walmart+: If you shop at Walmart, this half-off membership deal includes a full year of either Peacock or Paramount+ Essential

One thing became clear as we assembled these deals: The streaming companies see higher value in customers who subscribe to their plans that include ads, over what are otherwise the same services without ads. The savings you’ll get without ads is almost always less (as a percentage) than what you’ll get if you’re willing to put up with commercial breaks.

Of course, with some channels—especially those carrying live TV and sports–you’ll get ads with some content even if you’re paying the higher no-ads price.
