Pluto TV vs Tubi: Which Free Streaming Service is Better?

[@FrugalRules]

What is your favorite free ad-supported streaming service?

[@spaceghost4474]

Tubi is the best IMO.

[@francois-patrickarteau6511]

Pluto TV is my favorite!

[@michaelewing4515]

Pluto TV is always my favorite

[@phillipjames453]

I use both services.

[@Silver01Son]

Nice!

[@TNTITAN]

The thing that pushes Tubi over Pluto is Pluto is a TV model of “watch at this time to see your show” vs Tubi’s “here the shows choose which you want to watch right now”

[@FrugalRules]

Good point!

[@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325]

That's why I use both!

[@SkyownerRocks]

I use both Tubi and Pluto TV. I use Tubi everyday to watch some independent movies and the originals. I sometimes use Pluto TV for Nickelodeon. So yeah, I prefer Tubi. One of my favorite ad-supporting platforms.

[@loulopez554]

Pluto,Tubi and the Roku channel are my three.

[@dathyr1]

I am also like the other commenters, I use and like both services. I usually scan through their channel selections and look for any SCI FI movies being shown or certain old TV series. I am a big SCIFI fan and watcher. Another good free service I go to is STIRR and is along the same content as Pluto or Tubi. I dont mind the Ads on any of these. They show Ads about the same as my OTA antenna channels. At least there are no Politics Ads shown on Pluto or Tubi. LOL! take care.

[@FrugalRules]

We've not used Stirr much ourselves, but always good to have another option for a FAST service. We'd agree on the number of ads on many of these vs. what you'll get via OTA. Ha, yes, that is a good thing. 🙂

[@joannaa.5101]

@@FrugalRules What sorta box is best to receive OTA channels with an antenna? If you covered this subject will you point me in the right direction to a podcast from your choices? Thank you.

[@spaceghost4474]

Since they are both FREE, I say use both of them. I think that Tubi has better picture and sound quality though. PERSONALLY, I prefer Tubi. My preferences (in order) are Tubi, Roku Channel, then Pluto.

[@FrugalRules]

Exactly. Using both is just another small way to stretch your streaming budget...depending on what you as the streamer is watching. 🙂 We'd likely go in that order as well.

[@jayr341]

Tubi is the best i used All the Time

[@guy_who_games]

What a seriously tremendous, exhaustive overview of both apps. Loved this

[@robburcham6289]

I rarely watch ad supported tv but Pluto has pretty good national news and I like the way Pluto News includes several channels.

[@williamlasher7729]

I use both.

[@ryuhayabusa6776]

I don't use either regularly, but I have to go with Tubi, which has some pretty good originals.

[@daddygrace253]

Thank you for this great video. I have Samsung OLED and QLED 4K Smart televisions. I have both Tubi and Pluto TV. However, I watch Tubi T.V. the most and I rarely watch Pluto. I am currently watching the 70's movie, Cotton Comes To Harlem on Pluto TV.

[@sittingduhk]

Im glad you guys made this video, in this economy I can't afford both Tubi and Pluto TV

[@josephfrechette9916]

They are both free.

[@derekvallem]

Great comparison! Thank you! I like/use both services but I'm really looking forward to the "Terror on Tubi" originals coming out next month!

[@FrugalRules]

We're not horror fans really, but that's a decent offering for Tubi to have.

[@IndiephantomSofaSinema]

I use both, but Tubi is better and adblocker works with it.

[@fiestaoahutv5406]

Excellent video! You guys are awesome in describing both services. Thank you for taking the time to make the video 👍

[@juanherrera8731]

Pluto TV in tubi both steam services are great I use both

[@JessicaWolfe-s3v]

I like both

[@fabioarturo]

Tubi is best

[@gerroldmayfield3346]

I use both but I tend to lean towards Pluto.

[@bps3013]

TUBI watcher on XBOX console here, the ads have a little progress circle in the upper left corner to show how much time is left before the program continues. I seem to recall seeing this for the past several months, maybe it matters which device people are streaming on? No experience with Pluto though.

[@Catastrophic-hk3mh]

I use Pluto for Dr. Who and Tubi for everything else

[@mithrilsilver575]

Mmmm that's a tough one! Pluto is my go to for star trek, but Tubi has way less commercials and a ton of old school movies. Pluto has a ton of glitches too. There both useful though. Idk

[@danielvilla1165]

I like both tubi and Pluto TV because they both have great content to watch and forget third using them along with premium services

[@7JANEWAY]

Is there a way to get rid of the ads that pop up on the upper right hand corner when you pause Pluto TV? I already prefer Freevee to PTV, but these ads make PTV almost unwatchable.

[@carlacaldwell9921]

Good info. Thanks

[@Sammydx1]

So both ?

[@StoneyAngel]

Does it really matter when we can get both of them for free

[@kenlompart9905]

I use them both pretty much every day and will never pay for cable again.

[@FrugalRules]

They're both definitely solid options.

[@jamiemorgan3649]

Not that Tubi doesn't have big hits, but Pluto tends to have more big hits than Tubi. Tubi is better at variety.

[@MrShowbiz48]

Tubi is not currently available in the UK. Just so you know. To access Tubi in the UK, you have to use a VPN set to USA.

[@k2000kidd1]

Anyone have the issue where the playback will stop after an ad roll and go back to the home screen?

[@gregcolbourne8808]

Hi guys, can you please explain to me exactly how do you make a channel “your favorite” while using an AppleTv and TUBI?

[@PhillipLemmon]

Pluto tv is just that...TV Tubi is more movie-centric. I LOVE PLUTO TV more than Tubi. (mainly Cuz of star trek and transformers, lol)

[@elizabethdaniel646]

Pluto

[@anonymoushuman8443]

I hate Pluto tv. It’s buggy and every time you want to rewind 15 seconds, the whole movie restarts

[@matthewgandy9774]

THAT HOW GRADE THEM I USE PLUTO FOR MY LIVE TV TUBI BEST FOR ON DEMAND

[@OliverRW1994]

I should point out that whereas Pluto TV is avaliable in many countries, Tubi isn't. I'm from the UK and so the only way of watching the latter is by using a VPN. however both are still great services for free!!

[@bryanblanks1714]

Examine the octastream box, and or the ez box from the boxxmen!!

[@FrugalRules]

We'll add it to our list our ideas.

[@jeaniespinks4205]

I had Pluto it just came up when I switched to this type of tv watching than all of a sudden it switched to Goggle tv which I don’t like switched back to Pluto

[@darlingeloise672]

What about PLEX vs TUBI??

[@daddygrace253]

or TUBI vs CRACKLE T.V.

[@anthonymurdoch-xi6rn]

tubi is not available outside usa

[@la7dfa]

That is a bummer. I use Pluto but mostly to watch SpongeBob, and I am 58 y.o. ^^. I guess it is limited what we get for free.

[@jefferyhankerson1916]

Can you see live sports

[@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

All of these streaming platforms, and still nothing good to watch 😂

[@sammywilliam8156]

With all of the verses out of the way this doesn't it feel good that we can listen to music movies TV shows all for free and we only have to give away our email I mean that would basically be like me going to the movie theater and the only thing they ask is what my Facebook profile looks like it's extremely awesome

[@elizabethdaniel646]

I use both

[@reese7641]
