Netflix has established itself as a popular streaming service thanks to its initially low prices, as well as authorial productions of films and series that have delighted thousands of viewers around the world. However, there are many other services that offer similar catalogues, with the addition of live channels and other film productions. Check out, below, a list of ten sites with a similar system to Netflix.
Liongate+
The Lionsgate+ service has arrived in Brazil under the name of Starzplay and offers a platform where the user can consult the production catalog even before subscribing. Among the films and series shown, there are original works and works by other studios. You can subscribe to the service for a monthly fee of R$ 14.90 and use it online or through a mobile application.
The user can register on the site and take advantage of a free trial, lasting seven days, with full access to all productions.
MUBI
The MUBI platform was developed with viewers in mind. That’s because streaming offers classic films and award-winning current productions, bringing together a collection of works aimed at those who appreciate the art of cinema and love critically acclaimed films. You can access it online or through the app and download the movie to watch it offline. Students enjoy a special monthly plan, which costs R$18.90. For the general public, the monthly fee reaches R$ 29.90.
The site is divided into three sections: On Display, Feed and Notebook. The first is the main segment of streaming and contains films awarded at festivals, productions considered classics and masterpieces of cinema, and much more. The feed acts as a social network and aggregates reviews, notes and comments from users of the service. The latter acts as a digital platform, providing news, reviews, articles, interviews, columns and much more on the world of cinema.
Fine arts a la carte
The site is a cross between a blog and a streaming service. This way you can find classic movie posts, YouTube lists with movie recommendations, and of course a platform with several international and well-reviewed movies to watch. The site allows a monthly plan of R$ 12.90 and an annual plan of R$ 141.
This service is part of the Belas Artes group, developed from the partnership between the distributor Pandora Filmes and Petra Belas Artes cinema. It premiered in the country in 2020 and is also aimed at moviegoers, as it presents a special selection of films: lovers of the classics will love, for example, collections of films by famous directors, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks and Bernardo Bertolucci.
darkflix+
Darkflix+ is a national streaming channel, focused on broadcasting titles belonging to the genres of horror, science fiction, fantasy and suspense. With a collection of over 5,000 works, you can watch movies online or via an app. Currently, the service offers monthly (R$ 9.90), semi-annual (R$ 54.90) and yearly (R$ 109.90) plans.
Crunchyroll and Funimation
Both platforms belong to the same company and are accessible from both PCs and applications on smartphones and tablets. Both provide the same proposition: a streaming service aimed at showcasing anime. While Funimation arrived in Brazil in 2020, Crunchyroll has been available in the country since 2012. Their monthly subscription fees cost R$19.99 and R$14.99 respectively.
One of the main differences, besides the price, is that Funimation has been on the market for less time and, consequently, tends to offer a smaller catalog than Crunchyroll. Both services still guarantee classic and current anime, both with Brazilian dubbing and with Portuguese subtitles and original audio.
Finally, Crunchyroll still promises some Doramas and Live Action films, as well as manga to read with English translation and some anime to watch for free.
go directly
The platform has a slogan that characterizes it as the best in sports and entertainment. This is because it offers more than 70 live channels (such as sports) and the possibility of adding extra content, such as movies and series. You can take advantage of a free three-day trial. The subscription offers a monthly plan starting from R$ 69.90 for the first three months, while the R$ 109.90 plan promises the inclusion of Disney+ and Star+ services.
Look
It is another Brazilian streaming service to watch thousands of movies, series, drawings and anime. Some of these productions are even national. Streaming still has a space dedicated to children, with a catalog of productions suitable for all ages. In addition, the site offers a monthly plan of R$ 16.90 and an annual plan of R$ 149.90. Both allow the user to access up to three screens simultaneously, which can be attractive to some audiences.
It is worth remembering that it is possible to consult the entire catalog of the site even without a subscription, which can be positive for those who want to analyze the available productions. According to the website, the user will get access to exclusive movies every week as well as world cinema classics.
oldflix
As the name suggests, it specializes in making old productions from the history of film and television available. The user can consult the catalog even without a subscription and find productions such as “Happiness Cannot Be Purchased”, “Bonequinha de Luxo”, “CHiPs”, and “Estrela de Fogo” with Elvis Presley in the cast. As for cartoon and anime lovers, we find “Knights of the Zodiac”, “Samurai X”, “The Cave of Dragon”, “Speed Racer”, and much more.
It is possible to follow the productions through the site or even through the application. The simplest plan requires a monthly fee of BRL 14.90, promises HD quality and offers one screen at a time to watch. The prize offers four simultaneous screens and a monthly fee of R$ 18.90.
Uol Play
It offers a catalog of movies, series, cartoons, on-demand content and live programming. It is also possible to rent films straight out of the cinema. Among the channels offered, we can highlight Warner Bros TV, AXN, MTV, Nickelodeon and much more.
You currently have access to three subscription plans. The cheapest requires an investment of BRL 24.90 per month and offers on-demand content, such as Paramount+ and Awesomeness TV. The most expensive ones have the same value initially, being R$ 69.90 per month, with live channels (movies, series, TV shows and more) and on-demand content. The difference between these last two plans is that one of them promises a free month of HBO MAX, and after that period, a monthly fee of R $ 39.90 is added.
Fundamental+
Paramount+ can be purchased separately or bundled with Amazon Prime Video. The service offers movies, series, documentaries, anime and reality shows. It is possible to enjoy author productions, but also from other studios. In addition, the user still has access to humorous programs, among other national and international attractions.
The stream offers simultaneous access on up to three screens and a free trial for up to seven days. The monthly plan has a fee of R$ 19.90.
