We’ve all done the whole endless scroll pantomime, where we flick between streaming service homepages and moan that there’s nothing to watch—whilst knowing full well that thousands of undiscovered titles are just waiting for us to stop being indecisive and hit play.
But which platform really does offer the most content? It won’t make your decision as to what to watch any easier (that’s what Flicks is here for!!), but new data from Uswitch has confirmed which platforms available in the United Kingdom offer the most in terms of film and TV titles.
Coming out on top is Prime Video’s library, with almost 9,000 titles available to watch for subscribers. That’s about 2k more than Netflix, still the country’s most popular service, with Disney+ yet another 4k titles behind. The mouse’s service is sandwiched between Sky GO and NOW, but those two services have a fascinating difference when Uswitch considered quantity vs. value.
As we can see from this further research, Sky GO does offer about 2k more titles than NOW, but ranks lower down the list due to its notable monthly cost, resulting in a much lower value per title.
These findings certainly reflect the experience of scrolling around on Prime, where well-promoted titles like The Boys and The Summer I Turned Pretty dwell alongside a monster library of unfamiliar Hollywood and international projects.
The right side of the table shows that Prime also offers streaming viewers the most value for their low monthly subscription fee, costing £0.0009 dollars per title. Yeah, that’s about what we’d pay for The Tomorrow War.
Counting up the titles available on free streaming services below, it looks like Amazon-affiliated platform Freevee has the most in sheer quantity, whilst network free platforms BBC iPlayer and All 4 are roughly matched at about 900 titles.
Thanks to the team at Uswitch for their handy research. You can read the full international results here.
