These Free Movie Sites Are Just Like Netflix

We’ll reveal them, as well as some tips to make Netflix less costly so you can enjoy that too.

When it comes to streaming services, Netflix gets most of the publicity. Does that mean it’s worth your hard-earned money? Not necessarily, especially since there’s so much competition out there, and much of it is free.

Sure, you could opt for premium Netflix competitors like Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and so on, but if you’re on a budget, you want something more affordable.
And there’s nothing more affordable than free.

With that said, let’s look at some free streaming services you can use to watch TV shows and movies. Then, we’ll show you some ways to cut the monthly subscription costs of Netflix so you can splurge on that too, or get it completely free.

1. Pluto TV

You’ll never get bored with Pluto TV, as this free service has TV shows and movies spread across 250 channels.

You can choose to either watch live TV on Pluto, or check out their on-demand selection. As long as you can put up with the ads, you’ll probably make Pluto part of your daily watching routine.

2. Tubi

You won’t find new releases on Tubi, but you will find a massive catalog of movies (some of which are hard to find), TV shows, and more to keep your eyes occupied.

3. Vudu

You can choose from thousands of free titles on Vudu across various genres. Unlike some other free streaming services, its commercials tend to be a lot shorter.

4. Crackle

Just as Netflix has its own original content, so does Crackle. In addition to such content, you’ll also find well-known TV shows and movies.

5. FilmRise

Are you a fan of older content? FilmRise has plenty of it within its catalog of 20,000-plus TV shows and movies. Music fans will love the fact that you can enjoy live concerts too.

6. Xumo

Like Pluto TV, Xumo has a setup where you can view live channels. It has TV shows, movies on demand, sports, news, and more for the entire family. And like the other options in this list, it all comes at no cost.

Free Netflix Tips

While that list of free streaming services can keep you busy, you may still have a desire to become a Netflix subscriber. Here are some tips to get it for free or at a reduced price:

• Share a password – Friends or family members can share their existing login info so you can watch at no cost, or at least split the cost to pay very little for this perk.
• Get free DVDs – Free streaming trials no longer exist for Netflix. Free DVD rentals do, though, so get one for 30 days to enjoy a massive catalog of TV shows and new movie releases.
• Get free Netflix from your phone or Internet company – Some companies like T-Mobile offer free Netflix for their customers.
• Apply a promo code – Search online for Netflix promo codes that will cut your monthly subscription cost.
