With so many streaming services out there, it can get overwhelming trying to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck. If you use Hulu or if you’re thinking about signing up, it’s important that you’re aware of the different ways you can get the most out of your membership. Especially if you're worried about yet another Hulu price increase, having the right money-saving hacks can be crucial so you can continue your subscription.

What are the best hacks for getting the most out of Hulu?

To maximize your Hulu experience and take your streaming to the next level, check out these great hacks.

Personalize your profile 

Hulu allows you to create up to 6 user profiles, so each user will get recommendations based on their Hulu watch history and deliver personal ads based on their activity (if you don’t have the ad-free plan). You can create your own watchlist and customize your profile for a unique viewing experience.

For example, if you're a horror fan, you can create a great list of the best horror movies on Hulu for your viewing pleasure. If you're more of a documentary person, a list of Hulu documentaries is a great way to discover what's next.

Save on your subscription with seasonal promotions

If you don’t currently have a Hulu subscription, you can always wait for a seasonal sale and get a promotional rate, at least for an introductory period. For example, Hulu offers sales like Hulu Black Friday deals, back-to-school student discounts, and more.

Host a Hulu watch party

If you’ve never hosted a Hulu watch party, now’s the time to try one. There has been a surge in recent years of apps and platforms that help people interact with each other remotely. One of the best ways to do this is with a watch party platform like Teleparty.

Use your phone as a remote

If you didn’t know already, you can use your phone as a remote for Hulu, all you need to do is download the Hulu app. It’ll work seamlessly with your Xbox One, PS4, and PS3, just make sure your console is connected in your app and you’re good to go.

This will come in handy when you need to change something and notice the controller across the room. Instead of losing your comfy spot, you can make changes right from your phone. Chances are, it’s sitting within reach.

Splurge for a bundle plan

If you’re currently paying for cable and other streaming services like Disney+, you should consider instead paying for Hulu + Live TV. Not only will you gain access to local and national networks, but you’ll also get access to Disney+ and ESPN+. At $82.99/month, it might sound like a steep monthly expense, but when you consider what you’d be replacing, you might end up saving money.

Some people will try to use a fast VPN with their streaming services to remain anonymous online and access location-restricted content. However, this isn’t a recommended practice and they aren’t typically compatible with most platforms. So if you do go that route, do so at your own risk.
