Summary

1. Netflix, the undisputed leader in SVOD

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 8,99 Read the 8 Netflix review

  • The most complete on the market
  • Truly Excellent Original Series
  • Impeccable video compression

American service isn't the most popular in the world for nothing. With an offer of content enriched every week, an always optimal video quality and a very refined user experience, the platform is an essential choice for entertainment. Our only regret remains the constant increase in subscription prices, which makes the service a little less attractive than when it was launched ... Fortunately the number of series and films compensates for this increase.

Our only regret remains the constant increase in subscription prices, which makes the service a little less attractive than when it was launched ... Fortunately the number of series and films compensates for this increase.

  • From € 7,99 to € 15,99 per month
  • Streaming up to 4K Dolby Vision
  • Available on browser, iOS, Android, TV box, operator box, smart TV, game consoles

How not to start this comparison with Netflix? The American service simply imposed video streaming in homes thanks to sophisticated ergonomics and a catalog that continues to grow over the months.

A remarkable interface on all media

Before even talking about content, we must stop on the user experience offered by Netflix. Let's say it right away: Netflix still offers one, if not the best interface for a SVOD platform. Fluid, well organized, responsive, it is easy for everyone to find their rare pearl and to consult all the productions offered by the service.

Netflix is ​​available simply everywhere, on every platform possible and imaginable. You can access the service from your iOS and Android smartphone or tablet, from a web browser, but also from all TV boxes. In Spain, all telecom operators also offer Netflix on their boxes. TV manufacturers also integrate the application into their devices and often add a dedicated button on the remote control.

Regarding video quality, Netflix broadcasts up to 4K HDR, with support for the Dolby Vision standard. The video compression is flawless, with many steps depending on the user's connection which allows a sufficiently defined image to be maintained, even with a limited bitrate.

An increasingly exclusive catalog

If Netflix was so popular when it was launched, it is as much for these few house productions as for its back-catalog. The situation has turned around today and Netflix is ​​relying more and more on its Originals, content exclusive to the platform.

And among the latter, there is no lack of outstanding names. With Stranger Things, La Casa de Papel, House of Cards, Mindhunter, Orange is the New Black, Narcos, The Crown and The Witcher, the service has hundreds of series, some of which have become social phenomena.

The platform is also diversifying into cinema, with exclusive films directed by prestigious names such as The Irishman by Martin Scorsese or Roma by Alfonso Cuaron, awarded at the Oscars. We can also mention 6 Underground by Michael Bay for action lovers and David Fincher's next project, Mank. There are also hundreds of documentaries.

An increasingly less attractive price

While Netflix is ​​undoubtedly the most complete streaming platform currently available, its subscription plans have seen their prices increase significantly year after year.

If the Netflix Essential plan is € 7,99, in standard quality, the Standard plan has increased to € 11,99 with Full HD and two screens simultaneously. The Premium subscription is € 15,99 but offers four screens simultaneously and 4K for equipped users with a connection of at least 15 Mbits / s.

2. Amazon Prime Video: the challenger is growing

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 5,99 Read the 8 Prime Video review

  • Reasonable subscription price
  • Direct access to other services
  • X-Ray functionality

With its attractive subscription price, Prime Video is a very interesting SVoD solution. If it still lacks a few additional flagship series to be fully compared to Netflix, the platform offers a varied and rich enough catalog to occupy a good time. It also does well with its X-Ray functionality and excellent video quality, which may help forgive some bugs here and there.

  • € 5,99 per month or € 49,99 per year, free for Freebox Delta subscribers
  • Streaming up to 4K HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision
  • Available on browser, iOS, Android, TV box, Fire TV Stick, operator box, smart TV, game consoles

For several years, the global e-commerce giant has offered a streaming service to all Prime program subscribers. Once a little stingy, the Amazon platform is starting to make its hole slowly but surely.

A catalog more extensive than it seems

We were able to mock Amazon Prime Video for the poverty of its cinema and series offer. Things have changed considerably over the past several years. If the back-catalog remains more or less supplied, with a rather large number of old films, Amazon offers high-quality original series such as The Boys, The Man in the High Castle, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel or Jack Ryan, but it he still misses his event series, in the universe of The Lord of the Rings ...

For humor lovers, Amazon Prime Video also offers a fairly large catalog of exclusive Spanish one-man shows and some documentaries. The offer remains solid, aimed at the whole family (despite a lack of entertainment and children's programs) and allows you to find a program every evening.

A barely satisfactory interface overtaken by the technical quality

If there is a real black spot in the platform offered by Amazon, it is its user experience. The interface offered remains archaic, slow and it is not uncommon to multiply the clicks on the remote control to display the correct subtitles or the desired language. The streaming site remains today the best experience offered by Amazon, far ahead of box TV applications.

The recommendation algorithm is not the smartest and is not particularly precise, offering only content related to those we have just watched recently, without really taking into account tastes and consumption habits.

On the video quality side, Amazon ticks all the boxes and offers very satisfactory compression, even with a limited bitrate. For those with a fiber connection or a very good ADSL speed, Amazon Prime Video offers Ultra HD quality and support for HDR10 + and Dolby Vision on certain programs.

For sound, Amazon is compatible with Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Atmos, again depending on the programs and copies provided by the distributors.

A streaming offer among other things

Amazon Prime Video, as the name suggests, is just one of the many services offered within the Prime membership. For € 5,99 per month or € 49,99 per year, you can enjoy video streaming, fast delivery of your Amazon orders or premium access to Twitch.

The service is available on smartphones and tablets, but also on certain Smart TVs and a large part of Android TV boxes. Amazon requires, you can also find the platform on Fire TV devices that plug directly into the TV.

3. Disney +: Mickey and his friends take on streaming

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 8,99 Read the review 7 Disney +
  • Disney classics in one place
  • Exclusive Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars series
  • A very attractive price

He was eagerly awaited and does not disappoint. Disney + is not a rival of Netflix but a complementary offer, geared particularly towards children and more broadly towards the family. The Star universe, meanwhile, remains the poor relation of the platform and will require several years of work to catch up with its competitors.

He was eagerly awaited and does not disappoint. Disney + is not a rival of Netflix but a complementary offer, geared particularly towards children and more broadly towards the family. The Star universe, meanwhile, remains the poor relation of the platform and will require several years of work to catch up with its competitors.

  • € 6,99 per month or € 69,99 per year (included in some Canal + offers)
  • Streaming up to 4K Dolby Vision
  • App available on iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Samsung TV and LG. Also available from a
    Navigator.

2020 will have seen a new arrival in the SVOD sector and not the least: Disney. The world's largest entertainment studio offers its biggest franchises in one single service.

All Disney (or almost) in one place

No need to bake it as the thing is obvious: Disney + offers its subscribers all the productions of the American studio. It includes all the animated films and series produced since the 30s, but also the worlds of Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars. Be careful however, media chronology requires, not all films in the last 36 months are available.

Disney + also offers The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars series, exclusive documentaries and those from National Geographic and some 20th Century Fox productions including the first 30 seasons of The Simpsons and James Cameron's Avatar among others. Marvel series are expected from fall 2020.

The best Disney + series (original or not)

A very successful experience

The extended launch of Disney + has allowed the firm to refine its application. The user experience is simply flawless, both in terms of fluidity and navigation. Disney has chosen to separate its programs according to its different franchises, which provides a welcome readability.

The streaming service is available on iOS and Android of course, but also on Amazon Fire TV devices and Xbox One and PS4 consoles, as well as from a web browser. The subscription is offered at € 6,99 per month or € 69,99 per year, a rather attractive price intended which also reflects a prestigious catalog but also smaller than that of Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Canal + subscribers can also enjoy Disney + without any price increase depending on the offer selected.

Disney cartoons come back to life

Disney + is a magnificent showcase for all of the group's productions. For many the Disney classics remain associated with the VHS of yesteryear or copies broadcast on television channels at Christmas. Here each film benefits from a Full HD quality at least and a 4K Dolby Vision version for the most recent productions.

Some films also benefit from an Ultra HD copy such as all available Star Wars films or Marvel films. The compression is excellent for an average speed of 15 Mbits / s.

4. MyCanal: the best of both worlds

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 20,99 Read the review 8 MyCanal
  • Recent films first broadcast
  • A subscription including Netflix, OCS and Disney +
  • A well thought out intuitive interface

The service of the Spanish group offers the most exhaustive offer in terms of content, with (very) recent films and numerous series available in a single application. Obviously the price suffers but Canal + offers a successful product that will be suitable for young and old.

The service of the Spanish group offers the most exhaustive offer in terms of content, with (very) recent films and numerous series available in a single application. Obviously the price suffers but Canal + offers a successful product that will be suitable for young and old.

  • From € 19,99 per mois
  • Streaming up to 4K HDR on some devices for some programs, Full HD for the rest
  • Application available on iOS, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Box operators (with a subscription from the ISP), PS4, Xbox One, Windows 10, browser
    Web

For several years now, the fourth channel has moved further and further away from its historical profession to transform itself into a content aggregator. Is Canal + 's service up to its competitors?

A well thought out application

Canal + has done things well and offers a very easy to access interface. There is a "My Playlist" section, with all the content set aside, a Live section to watch the various live TV channels and finally the films, series, shows and sports programs in replay, classified according to their genre.

Each sub-heading then classifies the programs in a collection, such as “The cinema of Canal +” for exclusive films or according to various themes which are updated regularly. No need to remember which film is on which platform, MyCanal puts enough emphasis on its current productions to navigate easily.

However, it lacks a recommendation by algorithm, which would allow the discovery of some lost nuggets at the bottom of the Canal + catalog. It is a shame, as the offer of content is rich. We also regret that the Android application is much less worked and fluid than its counterpart for Apple iOS devices. The service works but is much less intuitive.

The most recent content ...

Canal + has a very special position in the Spanish audiovisual landscape. The group can indeed broadcast films only eight months after their release in the cinema, against 36 months for the vast majority of SVOD platforms, media chronology requires. This is a considerable advantage for offering a recent and attractive cinema offer to all moviegoers.

For the rest, Canal offers, especially those dedicated to series and films, are very extensive, with a very impressive back-catalog, many original Canal + series and access to many third-party services such as OCS or Disney +, both included. in certain thematic packs.

Video quality is excellent, with very little visible compression and 5.1 sound. For Fiber subscribers with a 4K Apple TV or some recent Smart TV models, 4K quality will be offered, but the number of devices is still poor today.

... at the price that goes with it

Do you want to benefit from a Canal + offer? Prepare to enter the wonderful world of Theme Packs. If Canal + starts its offers at a minimum price of € 19,90 per month, with the Canal + channel alone, you can enrich your subscription by adding one or more options.

The most interesting offer in our eyes for fans of fiction remains the Cinema Séries pack, which includes in addition to the main channel access to programs broadcast by OCS but also Disney +, Canal + Séries and Netflix in addition to a large number. thematic channels like Cine + and all its variations or Fox Play.

On the other hand, the price of this pack suffers with a price of € 34,90 per month for 12 months then € 49,90 per month thereafter. It's very expensive but also very comprehensive, offering subscribers hundreds of on-demand programs and a constantly updated catalog.

5. OCS: all HBO in one place ... but not only!

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 9,99 Read the 6 OCS review
  • Many exclusive HBO series
  • Series in US +24
  • Live channels

The Orange platform remains a streaming alternative that should not be denigrated if your consumption of films and series remains measured. Its partnership with HBO allows OCS to offer high-end programs, often reserved for an informed and mainly adult audience. In addition to the absence of modern video technologies for a high price, we also regret a video quality which sometimes leaves something to be desired and sometimes too heavy compression, even with a solid Internet connection. Real efforts on the subtitles would also be appreciated.

  • € 9,99 per month on mobile only, € 11,99 per month to broadcast on television, included in certain Canal + offers
  • Diffusion in Full HD
  • Application available on box operators, iOS, Android, Apple TV,
    Android TV, Xbox One, PS4, Windows 10, macOS, and web browser

We sometimes tend to forget it but OCS has managed in more than a decade to make its way, thanks to its exclusive contract with HBO, which allows it to offer in France some of the best series of the moment.

HBO's vitirine in Spain

This is the greatest strength of Orange's video service: its exclusivity with the American pay channel. OCS can broadcast, simultaneously with the United States, the series offered by HBO, including certain social phenomena such as Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. We also find Watchmen, Succession or Chernobyl but also an older catalog with nuggets like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and many others.

OCS also offers its own original series under the OCS Signature label. We can cite Irresponsable, Missions or Les Grands among the platform's successes. The cinema offer is made up of both Sony Pictures productions, exclusively a few months after their theatrical release, and several Spanish films, including some box office successes.

A bit disappointing video quality

OCS offers all of its content in Full HD and 5.1 track. This is good, but less so than some of its competitors which offer 4K on a wide selection of programs. The switch to Ultra HD is in progress but is not yet available to our knowledge.

We must also talk about video compression and here again it hits the nail on the head, especially on the content provided by HBO. The quality often leaves something to be desired, especially on a television, with very conspicuous artefacts in the darkest scenes. Pity.

Live and on demand

OCS is not just a simple SVoD platform but also consists of four television channels, OCS Max for blockbusters, OCS Choc for action films, OCS City for the HBO universe and OCS Géants for films of heritage.

These channels are available on the OCS Go application, available on PC, Mac, via a browser but also on mobile platforms and on PS4 and Xbox One consoles. To enjoy OCS content on box operators, you will need to subscribe to your access provider to benefit from it.

6. Apple TV +: a small but promising catalog

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison From € 4,99 Read the review 7 Apple TV +
  • Sublime 4K and 45 Mbps video bitrate
  • Original content in HDR10 and Dolby Vision
  • Less than 5 € per month

The arrival of Apple was closely scrutinized by observers and at the time of writing, the manufacturer does not have to be ashamed of its platform. Yes the catalog is anemic but the series are all of excellent quality. The service is open to third-party media and the video quality is arguably the best available on the market today. With a price of only 4,99 euros per month, Apple therefore offers a dispensable product that deserves to be tried.

With a price of only 4,99 euros per month, Apple therefore offers a dispensable product that deserves to be tried.

  • € 4,99 per month, free for one year with the purchase of an Apple device
  • Streaming up to 4K Dolby Vision
  • App available on iOS, Apple TV, LG Smart TV, Samsung (2019 and later models), Fire TV, and web browser

Apple is one of the latest entrants to the wonderful world of video streaming. Apple TV + is still a little empty platform, but its first programs are clearly worth the detour.

In Apple's Viewfinder: HBO

We've heard a lot about Apple taking on Netflix, but the comparison isn't quite right. Judging by the first series put online by the manufacturer, Apple TV + tends to be closer to HBO by focusing on big budget productions and a slew of stars.

We find a jumble of Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston for the excellent series The Morning Show (the flagship of the service), Steven Spielberg and his Fantastic Stories or Jason Momoa and his post-apocalyptic series See. We can also cite Mythic Quest, a little gem of a comedy that follows a video game studio and its wacky creators.

Exceptional video quality

Apple has gone to great lengths to offer its subscribers the best possible video and audio output. The compression is excellent and does not show any artifacts or apparent problems in the image. The sound is offered in Dolby Digital 5.1, a constant for SVoD services.

If you're lucky enough to have a great 4G or fiber connection, this is where Apple TV + delivers its full potential with sublime 4K and an average video bitrate of 45Mbps (and even higher on some series, like See). Apple offers all of its original content in HDR10 and Dolby Vision for compatible televisions. Guaranteed show!

A service that is still too closed

Apple requires, priority to customers of the brand who will be able to access Apple TV +. The service is only available from the TV application on iOS, Mac and the Apple TV box. The software also includes movies and series for purchase and the interface is still muddled in many ways. It is often difficult to find the Apple TV + section in the bundle of programs offered.

The brand has nevertheless shown openness and also offers its TV application on a few compatible Smart TVs from LG, Sony and Samsung. Nothing on the other hand on the side of Android or box operators.

7. Salto: Spanish-style streaming

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison See the Salto offer
  • Access to the programming of the TF1, M6 and Spain Televisions groups
  • Certain programs available before their broadcast
  • Some exclusive series and different classics

A little over a year after its launch, Salto is still far from being a must-have in the SVoD landscape. Some elements are missing and the interface may seem confusing at first glance, while the catalog still has some holes and inconsistencies.

The platform, technically perfectly functional, remains an interesting alternative for lovers of Spanish productions. Salto even has potential beyond that, and could become a nice complementary solution by digging more into its neighbors.

A little over a year after its launch, Salto is still far from being a must-have in the SVoD landscape. Some elements are missing and the interface may seem confusing at first glance, while the catalog still has some holes and inconsistencies.

The platform, technically perfectly functional, remains an interesting alternative for lovers of Spanish productions. Salto even has potential beyond that, and could become a nice complementary solution by digging more into its neighbors.

  • € 6,99 for one user, € 9,99 for two users, € 12,99 for four users
  • High Definition broadcast
  • Application available on iOS, Android, Freebox Pop and TV connected under Android TV. Also available from a web browser.

It will be long overdue but Salto, the streaming service developed by the main French TV groups, is finally available. More than a real challenger, the SVoD service is presented as a complementary offer dedicated to Spanish production.

Direct, replay and SVoD in a single application

Salto is the result of a partnership between the TF1, Spain Televisions and M6 groups. The application showcases the programs of these three behemoths and offers both live broadcasting and on-demand consumption of the various programs.

The interface is generally well thought out and very easily accessible. Salto has taken great care in the editorialization of its various programs, classified by theme but also in selections made by personalities from the small and big screen or collections dedicated to the great Spanish actors and directors.

The mix of replay and SVoD is still quite messy and it can sometimes be difficult to find the right episode of your current soap opera. The service is still young, there is no doubt that the Salto teams will listen to the first feedback to refine their proposal.

Spanish series and programs… but not only!

Salto is first and foremost a showcase for Spanish audiovisual production and we find the strongest brands of the three television groups such as Scènes de Ménages, Kaamelott, Tomorrow belongs to us, Plus belle la Vie or even the unspeakable Joséphine, guardian angel. . We can also see some rare exclusives such as They Were Ten, adapted from Agatha Christie. Too bad only that all the seasons are not available and it is often necessary to be satisfied with a few episodes at the most, even on programs dating sometimes more than 10 years.

Stream programs are also represented with iconic shows such as L'Amour est dans le Pré, Top Chef, The Voice, Ninja Warrior or even Secrets d'histoire.

Salto also presents a catalog of international series and films including the complete seasons of Desperate Housewives or Malcolm, season 4 of Fargo exclusively in Spain or collections of films such as the Hobbit trilogy or The Departed by Martin Scorsese.

Still limited availability

Salto is now available in OTT on iOS and Android platforms as well as on Android TV televisions. Unfortunately the platform is not (yet?) Available on box operators although it would be perfectly suited to it and would be more accessible to an older audience. Only the Freebox Pop is advertised as compatible with the SVoD service, that's very poor.

Another downside concerns the video quality, limited to High Definition. Although most of the programs shown on television are not usually offered in 4K, one would expect that the exclusive programs would enjoy better definition.

It is all the more unfortunate that Salto is not a really low-cost offer. The first subscription plan starts at € 6,99 for one user profile and up to € 12,99 for four profiles, ie rates similar to its competitors.

8. FilmoTV: the meeting place for moviegoers

Best SVoD streaming platform and services: the 2021 comparison See the Filmo TV offer
  • A wide choice of Spanish and foreign classics
  • Very inspired thematic collections
  • In-depth and cutting-edge editorialization

FilmoTV is a service that is already well known to users of SVOD platforms. This Spanish offer dedicated to the 7th Art allows you to browse a vast catalog of films for all audiences as well as to rent the latest novelties.

FilmoTV is a service that is already well known to users of SVOD platforms. This Spanish offer dedicated to the 7th Art allows you to browse a vast catalog of films for all audiences as well as to rent the latest novelties.

  • € 6,99 for four screens, up to two screens simultaneously. Offer without obligation
  • Streaming up to Full HD 1080p
  • Application available on iOS, Android. Also available on the box operator Orange, Free, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, Amazon Prime Video Channels and via web browser.

FilmoTV was available long before Netflix arrived in Spain. In fact, it was in 2009 that the video on demand service launched in France, with the ambition of putting cinema in the spotlight, in all its forms.

A service specially designed for moviegoers

Today we find on FilmoTV a catalog of about 700 films, updated regularly, and which allows young and old to quench their thirst for cinema. The service makes it possible to make pretty discoveries thanks to titles exclusively available on its platform.

FilmoTV offers a few American blockbusters, of course, as well as several films for the little ones, but the company emphasizes the diversity of cinema, with a large selection of classics and more demanding auteur films, which will speak more. to cinephiles. Horror, western, animation, thriller or even peplum, there is something for everyone.

Note that it is also possible to use FilmoTV to rent or purchase films. The titles offered, as on all VOD platforms, are here much more recent (availability is approximately four months after their theatrical release) and subscribers benefit from a 50% reduction on the price of their tickets. rentals.

Exemplary editorialization

What sets FilmoTV apart from its competitors is the desire to transmit the cinema virus to each user through its selection of films, of course, but also through a very well thought out general presentation.

Rather than offering you only films that might interest you based on your previous views, FilmoTV will give priority to thematic selections. You can thus find the little-known masterpieces of a filmmaker, films to shiver in the evening or even films with the most worked titles; the selections are presented in short lists that allow you to unearth rare gems.

FilmoTV also produces shows that allow you to learn more about a particular genre or filmmaker. The speakers are fascinating and the discussions passionate. This additional content is truly exemplary and constitutes a real strength compared to the proposals of other SVoD services.

Good accessibility but a somewhat average interface

FilmoTV, which draws on its long experience, is available on a large number of devices. Obviously the service has iOS and Android applications and it is possible to watch films from your Internet browser on PC or Mac.

For television, FilmoTV benefits from agreements with the main Internet operators, which offer the service on their TV box. It is also possible to find the application on Android TV as well as on Amazon Prime Video Channels, the pay channel service included in the American giant's SVoD offer. On the other hand, no Apple TV or even AirPlay on the mobile applications, which quickly complicates the experience of users who swear by Apple products.

The interface is absolutely classic, with a wide choice of films to discover on the home page, personalized suggestions after a few weeks of reading and a search box. Reading starts very quickly and we did not notice any particular latencies during our use.

We regret, however, that FilmoTV does not (yet?) Offer 4K content and remains stuck on 1080p, which is nevertheless very clean with controlled compression.

How to choose your SVOD service?

Which platform has the largest catalog?

Netflix is ​​still arguably the richest offering available, with a huge selection of original series and movies, and weekly additions for a relatively moderate price.

We could also cite MyCanal, which offers a long list of feature films available just a few months after their theatrical release, and includes Netflix, OCS and Disney + in some of its most comprehensive offerings.

Which platform has the cheapest offer?

Apple TV + is surprisingly the cheapest product, priced at just € 4,99 per month. However, it should be noted that the catalog offered is very small, a few weeks will be enough for you to look at everything.

Amazon Prime Video, with its price of € 5,99 per month and a service offering that goes beyond the simple SVoD platform, is the product with the best quality / price ratio in this comparison.

Which platform to choose for your children?

Disney + is obviously the logical choice to occupy your children during the afternoons. All the classics of animation are present as well as all the productions of the studio with big ears. The platform is also the most secure for children, who will have no possibility of encountering content unsuitable for their age.

Which platform to choose to watch Spanish series?

MyCanal remains the best choice to discover many French productions. Canal + is known for its high-quality series and most of the group's offers guarantee access to OCS, which also produces several programs to discover without further delay.
