The average US household now subscribes to 4.5 streaming services, averaging $48/month per household — and that's before adding sports apps like DAZN ($25/mo), Sling ($40/mo), or YouTube TV ($73/mo). SMART OTT replaces all of them with a single annual subscription that costs less than ONE month of any premium streaming bundle.
SMART OTT vs Netflix + Disney+ + DAZN bundles — full feature comparison

|---|---|---|

| Annual cost | $60–$80 | $1,440–$2,160 |

Where each wins
- Cost — SMART OTT — by 90%+. Stacking just Netflix + Disney+ + DAZN + Sky Sports already costs more than SMART OTT for a year.
- Live sport — SMART OTT — all sports on one subscription. Streaming services fragment sport rights (NFL on Prime Video, Bundesliga on Sky, La Liga on ESPN+, Premier League on Peacock, etc.).
- Library size — SMART OTT — 200K titles vs ~5K per streaming service. Most viewers exhaust per-service catalogs.
- Per-platform exclusives — Streaming services — Netflix Originals, Disney+ Marvel, Apple TV+ Original Series. SMART OTT does NOT include Netflix's proprietary library; if you want Stranger Things, keep Netflix on the side.
- Family-friendly UX — Streaming services — kid profiles, age locks, viewing history. SMART OTT is a more traditional channel-grid UX.
- Live news — SMART OTT — every news network worldwide. Streaming services pay-wall live news on most platforms.
Our recommendation
If you want a single annual subscription that bundles 1.7M+ channels, all major sports, 4K UHD, multi-language packs, and works on every device — SMART OTT is the comprehensive choice at $60–$80/year. The 24-hour free trial lets you confirm channel availability before you pay.
Frequently asked questions
Not the proprietary Netflix Originals (Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday). For those, keep Netflix. SMART OTT replaces the licensed content overlap — most movies and most non-Netflix series are in the 200K VOD library.
Disney+ proprietary content (Marvel, Star Wars exclusives, Disney+ Originals) is not in SMART OTT. Older Disney movies and series are. If kids want the latest Mandalorian or Marvel show, keep Disney+ alongside ($8/mo).
Yes — all DAZN sport content (boxing, NFL Game Pass internationally, Bundesliga in Germany, Champions League in Italy, etc.) is included via the underlying broadcaster feeds. You don't need a separate DAZN subscription.
Apple TV+ Originals (Ted Lasso, Severance, Foundation) are NOT in SMART OTT. The Apple TV device works fine for both.
Yes, completely replaceable. SMART OTT carries every channel these services bundle, plus thousands more, at $5/mo equivalent vs $73–$95/mo for these competitors.
Most households do. Keep the 2–3 platforms with original content you actually watch ($8–$15 each), and use SMART OTT for everything else (cable replacement + sports + international + the 200K VOD library). Total: $30–$40/mo for content that would otherwise cost $200+/mo.
