Online comparison site Uswitch has provided stats on how “value for money” each streaming service is for Australians. That is, how much it costs you per title on that particular streaming service.

To compile the list, Uswitch looked at the monthly cost of each available streaming service, as well as how many titles each had, to provide a ranking on a ‘cost per title’ basis.

With its super low monthly cost, Prime Video came in first place. In second place, Netflix trailed by a long margin.

  • Prime Video has 8,815 titles available in Australia. With a monthly cost of $6.99, the cost per title is $0.00079.
  • Netflix has 6,135 titles available in Australia. Priced at $10.99 (basic) per month, the cost per title comes in at $0.0017.
  • Australian-owned Binge has 2,523 titles available. At $10 (basic) per month, cost per title for Binge is $0.0039.
  • Another Aussie service, Stan, has 2,337 titles. With a monthly cost of $10 (basic), the cost per title is $0.0042.
  • Disney+ has 2,317 titles. Setting you back $11.99 a month, you get a cost per title of $0.0051.
  • DocPlay has 1,034 titles available in Australia. Priced at $7.99 per month, the cost per title is $0.0077.
  • Most expensive is Foxtel. Foxtel Now has 4,034 titles available. For a monthly charge of $25, that equals a cost per title of $0.0062.

We actually only used the Uswitch data for how many titles each service has, as the monthly pricing for each service was incorrect. But Uswitch also ranked the best free streaming services available in Australia.

Kanopy came in first, with 117,868 titles available, followed by Tubi TV with 15,498. SBS On Demand has 1,192 titles available, ABC iview has 757, 7 Plus has 517, 9Now has 275 and Ten Play has only 48.
