Streaming services like Fmovies , Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ are becoming more popular than ever, but their subscription prices can be costly for some people. Fortunately, many alternatives offer similar content for much less. These sites include ad-supported options, but are clean from viruses and 100% legal to use.

Sony Crackle

A free service for PlayStation users, Crackle offers movies and original TV shows. Its library includes a mix of older films and newer titles, with genres including horror, sci-fi, and adventure. It also has a variety of genre-specific channels that run 24 hours a day, with series ranging from “Judy Justice” and “Schitt’s Creek” to “The Big Bang Theory” and “Baywatch.”

Vudu

Vudu offers high-def movies and television shows, with categories such as Critically Acclaimed, Hidden Gems, and Classic Film Stars. Its library includes new releases and has a dedicated kid-friendly area. Its catalog also includes a handful of TV shows that aren’t available on other streaming services, such as the first season of the hit “Reacher” and a documentary about the life of legendary filmmaker Roger Corman.

Tubi

Unlike most free video sites, Tubi doesn’t display tons of ads. Its movie library includes a variety of genres and a separate kids section, and the website’s search function lets you filter results by country and language. Its library is augmented by deals with media companies such as Warner Bros. Discovery, which has licensed hundreds of movies and TV shows to Tubi and Roku.
