Most Prime Day streaming deals aren’t worth it, but these 12 starting at $0.99 are a must-have

Paramount+ Essential is the platform’s budget-friendly, ad-supported tier, offering access to a massive library of over 40,000 TV episodes and movies across brands like CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and more. It also includes live sports such as NFL games and Champions League matches, though live CBS programming is limited.

Paramount+ Premium is the ad-free tier (aside from live TV), offering everything included in Essential, plus extra perks. Subscribers get access to their local CBS live feed, the full Showtime library, and the ability to download content for offline viewing. It also supports higher-quality streaming, such as 4K UHD, on select titles.

HBO Max's cheapest tier gives you full access to its practically unrivalled library of binge-worthy TV shows and blockbuster movies. While this tier is ad-supported, you can still stream on two devices at once. It's a great pick if you don't mind a few advertisements.

HBO Max Standard is the platform's middle tier and gives you full library access, alongside 30 monthly downloads for offline viewing. Alongside all the movies/shows that make HBO Max our favorite streaming service, you also get live sports, including NHL, MLB, USNT soccer, and NASCAR.

If you want the very best HBO Max package and the deepest discount, the Premium tier should be your pick. It comes with everything in the Standard tier alongside streaming on up to four devices, 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos on select content, and up to 100 offline downloads. It's HBO Max at its very best.

If you have a 4K TV, I recommend picking up a 4K streaming stick — but this is a nice discount if you have a HD TV. The 2026 Fire TV Stick HD is easier to set up than before and reduces clutter: it connects and draws power from your TV, so no need to find a power outlet.

For fast and affordable 4K streaming performance, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select is a good bet. Its new operating system offers faster loading speeds and access to all the streaming apps you could want.

The Alexa Voice Remote Pro is a nice little upgrade for Fire TV users who want a few extra features. It has backlit buttons that light up in the dark, two customizable shortcut buttons, and even a remote finder in case it goes missing. It also supports voice control and can handle your TV’s power and volume.

Amazon's streamer packs quite a punch. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max delivers crystal-clear content with all the premium features (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Atmos audio), while Wi-Fi 6E and beefed-up processing ensure everything runs smoothly. Plus, the Alexa remote puts total TV control at your fingertips.
