With a subscription to Max, users can watch a ton of great HBO series, like “House of the Dragon” and “The Last of Us.” It even comes with everything one would find on Discovery+, from reality shows to cooking programs. However, prices for a Max subscription start at $9.99 per month, up to $15.99 if one doesn’t want commercials. Anyone who doesn’t care about prestige programming and just wants to binge-watch some “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” can get a solo Discovery+ subscription for only $4.99/month.
Discovery unveiled its own streaming app in 2020, and remarkably, the ad-supported price has remained the same since that time. There is an ad-free tier that costs a little more at $8.99/month. Either way, both levels have the same shows from all of the networks that fall under the Discovery umbrella, including HGTV, Food Network, A&E, TLC, Discovery Channel, and so many others. As one can surmise, that means there’s a ton of content to get through, with the Discovery+ homepage declaring, “A subscription includes unlimited access to all 70,000+ episodes, including all-new and exclusive content added every week, all year long.”
Like many streaming services before, Discovery+ also has its own original programming, many of which appear to be spinoffs of popular shows from cable. This includes “90 Day Diaries,” which checks in with couples who appeared on “90 Day Fiancé.” That really only scratches the surface, as many of the shows featured on Discovery+ could keep viewers busy watching for weeks on end.
