What about live TV streaming services?
Another option for streaming TV is to use a live platform like Sling or YouTube TV. They stream channels similar to linear TV without a contract and offer access to content about true crime, animals, celebrities and more. Pluto TV is free and has a selection of documentary-themed channels, but these live TV streaming services cost more than on-demand platforms.
What if I don’t want ads?
Expect to pay to stream without ads on streaming services like Netflix, Magellan, Max and Hulu. Most free services include ads (except Kanopy) because it’s how the platform is supported.
Which app is best for kids?
You’ll likely find the most family-friendly documentary content on PBS, Magellan, Kanopy and Curiosity Stream. Though Disney Plus is not on this list, it houses excellent content from National Geographic.
