How does the cost of BritBox compare to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video?

BritBox is cheaper than a subscription to Amazon Prime (which comes in at £7.99 a month).

At £5.99 a month, Netflix’s Standard Plan (which permits viewing on one device at a time in standard definition) is the same price at BritBox. However, a BritBox subscription offers HD viewing and allows you to watch on five devices (!) simultaneously.

(Netflix also offers an £8.99 a month standard plan, which includes HD on two-screens. Ultra HD and four-screen simultaneous viewing is £11.99).

BritBox is also cheaper than the major NOW TV passes (£7.99 for Entertainment Pass, Sky Cinema Pass £11.99, Sky Sports Pass £33.99).

Apple TV+ is cheaper at £4.99 a month. However, the streaming service hosts a much smaller library than BritBox.
