What is Hulu, and what does it offer?

Huu is a streaming service that provides a large collection of TV shows, movies, and original content. The Walt Disney Company owns it, and its main audience is in the United States. It differentiates itself from other streaming platforms by offering next-day access to new episodes of major network TV shows, exclusive original series, and a variety of content bundles with Disney+, ESPN, and others.

How much does Hulu cost?

Hulu has several pans that start at as low as $ 7.99 per month if you don’t mind a few ads. The cost shoots up to $17.99 per month to remove the ads. Hulu + Live TV begins at $76.99/month (with ads) or $89.99/month (no ads on on-demand content). Several bundles can affect cost and sales during the holidays, which can reduce the price.

What’s the difference between Hulu and Hulu + Live TV?

Standard Hulu is on-demand only, offering a library of shows and movies. Hulu + Live TV adds over 85 live channels that include sports, news, and entertainment, plus the on-demand library.
