Written by Justin Smith | Mar 3, 2023 6:00:00 PM

For most of us, watching movies is something we love to do–but subscribing to dozens of video streaming services isn’t the best financial choice. If you’re looking for ways to cut back your bills, now might be a great time to look into free video streaming services.

Although paid services like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu used to be some of the only streaming options, in recent years, an increasing number of video streaming services have been introduced to the media world. But, you might be wondering, which ones are worth your time?

Streaming involves a lot of expensive devices and electronics that are prone to malfunctions and accidents. We all know how easy it is to accidentally drop your phone, and it's important to be protected if this happens. An extended warranty plan like MulberryCare can ensure your streaming devices are covered in case of any damage they might encounter.

Here’s a look at some of the best free video streaming services you can sign up for today.

FreeVee Movies

FreeVee Movies is just like it sounds: a completely free, no strings attached video streaming platform. Compatible with the Amazon Firestick, Roku, Chromecast, and many other popular devices, FreeVee Movies is quickly becoming a popular option among those who want to watch movies without paying a dime.

To find the best movies on FreeVee, simply scroll through their list of hundreds of selections that are frequently updated. You’ll find original content, live TV, and many classics.

Pluto TV

Although movies on Pluto TV don’t quite measure up to the selection available on FreeVee, there’s one thing that consistently draws viewers: the live TV experience. If you miss the days of classic cable, Pluto TV may be exactly what you’re looking for. Scroll through dozens of shows (especially retro shows), and even catch snippets of popular news outlets.

Although Pluto doesn’t offer originals, and its movie selection might be less than average, the nostalgic shows, cable-like experience, and easy to use interface have helped it garner a solid fanbase.

Tubi

If you’re more into movies than live TV, Tubi might be the best option for you. With over 20,000 TV shows and movies, you’ll never run out of new content to watch. Although you won’t find many (if any) new releases on Tubi, you’re sure to find some classics that you’ve forgotten about.

Best of all, when the holidays approach, don’t forget to check out the wide variety of Christmas movies on Tubi. You’ll find dozens of titles that you haven’t seen in years, and you’re sure to find some new holiday favorites too.

Vudu

There are two types of people in this world: those who love to rewatch movies and those who do not. If you’re part of the latter group, Vudu’s wide variety of popular movies and new releases might make it the best video streaming service for you. Although some titles require a purchase, there’s still plenty of free content to choose from.

To find titles you haven’t seen, simply use some of Vudu’s advanced filtering options to filter for new movies.

Xumo

For the sport fans out there, you probably won’t find a better free streaming service than Xumo. Xumo offers a wide variety of sports content and access to live news networks. However, if you’re not into sports, don’t worry: there are hundreds of Xumo channels to choose from, and plenty of on demand content too! Like Pluto TV, Xumo’s interface is pretty similar to cable, which is an aspect that many people like.

However, Xumo does have one drawback to consider: its user interface is not as intuitive as some of the other platforms, such as Pluto TV or Tubi. For dedicated sports fans, however, this likely won’t be a dealbreaker.

Peacock

Finally, if TV shows are your jam, don’t forget about Peacock. Although there’s an upgraded version that you can subscribe to for a monthly fee, Peacock offers many of their TV shows and movies for free–in fact, 13,000 hours worth.

If you’re interested in some throwback shows, classic movies, and live TV offerings, Peacock is definitely worth checking out.

Final thoughts

For many people, watching shows and movies is an integral part of their day. However, it’s easy for subscription costs to add up quickly. If you’re tired of spending more money than you’d like to on streaming services, there are plenty of free alternatives with great content.

As always, it's important to keep product protection in mind when it comes to the electronics and devices you use every day.
