I ranked all the Black Friday streaming deals and there's a dramatic winner

Four streaming service logos over a black spottlight background.

I usually use the Black Friday streaming deals to pick up 'discounted trials' for services I want to use. While few services actually offer free trials anymore, the deals let me get discounted access to streamers so I can test out their offerings.

Quick deal links

Hulu ($0.99 per month for a year)
Paramount Plus ($1.99 per month for first 3 months)
Max: ($2.99 for first 6 months)
Peacock ($1.99 per month for a year)
Fubo ($80 off first 3 months)
Philo ($12.50 off for first month)

That's a little hard in 2023, though, and it's because the deals are too good — or should I say, there are too many of them. I wouldn't be able to watch all the movies and TV shows from every single reduced streamer out there!

So I've been purveying all the deals to work out which to pick up, and it's become clear that not all streaming deals are equal. They offer varying amounts of money off, but over different periods of time too, so it's a little tricky to work out which is offering the best deal.

To help me mathematically work out which streaming service discount to opt for, I decided to properly work out how much money was offered by each of them, so I could strategically pick whichever option was best for my bank account. I figured this information would be useful for you too, so here it is: I've ranked all of the streaming service deals, by how much money off they offer.

1. Hulu is the clear winner

2. Peacock a respectable second

3. Max a close third

4. Paramount Plus a distant fourth

By the way, I've removed live TV streaming service deals as they're just a different beast, but you can see them in the side bar at the top of the page. Also, if you're interested in the below, then you'll have to act fast as they wrap up on Cyber Monday or the day after (Tuesday, November 28).
