There are several ways to watch television in 2021, including channel apps like CBS All Access, streaming services like Netflix, and live streaming apps like Sling TV, but for those looking to cut their cords and still have some of the same live offerings as cable, live streaming apps like those offered by Hulu and YouTube are the way to go. Stephen Lovely, managing editor of Cordcutting.com, whose personal mission is to help folks cut the cord in a way that makes sense for their budget and lifestyle, says YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV have risen above the rest as the best live streaming apps.

Both are priced at $64.99 a month.  "The only true cable replacements are Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV," he said in a phone call with Lifewire.

What Separates Hulu and YouTube from the Rest


Lovely felt the Viacom deal was interesting for several reasons. "It used to be such an annoying group for streaming services to get… Disney is constantly making deals to get ESPN on almost every service," Lovely said. "Now it’s more and more common to see Viacom share." People should consider different cord cutting set ups based on what is best for them.

YouTube TV was reported at just over 3 million subscribers, and Sling TV came in third with just under 2.5 million.&nbsp;When on-demand customers are accounted for, all 32.1 million of them, Hulu has a total of 36.6 million subscribers.&nbsp; Joseph Okpako / Getty Images In Lovely’s mind, live streaming apps from Hulu and YouTube are best. They lead the rest in the number of subscribers and offer the best overall package, in his mind. Even with the new Viacom channels, YouTube TV still offers more channels with more than 85, compared with more than 65 for Hulu.

YouTube TV includes unlimited cloud DVR storage space and rewind, fast forward, and pause capabilities—great for people who have a long list of favorite cable shows that they like to rewatch. Hulu &#43; Live TV offers a $9.99 add-on for more DVR cloud storage beyond the initial package&#39;s 50 hours a month.

While YouTube TV is unmatched in its DVR, having access to Hulu, normally $5.99, is a big plus for some. metamorworks / Getty Images For Lovely, having access to Hulu along with Hulu + Live TV might just put it over the top. For $70.99, customers can have access to Hulu with no ads.&nbsp; In the end, each individual user should look into which cable or streaming option is the best fit for them based on their personal preferences and what is available in their area.
