What are the best alternatives to Disney+ available?
Paramount+
If you’re definitely ready to leave Disney+, but don’t want any gaps in your entertainment, you should look into a Paramount+ subscription instead. Paramount+ offers a great mix of popular kids shows like “Paw Patrol” and “SpongeBob SquarePants,” as well as plenty of content for adults, like the many works of Taylor Sheridan, or offerings like “Criminal Minds” and “NCIS.” A subscription to Paramount+ starts at $9 per month for ad-supported service or $14 for ad-free, so you’ll save a little money over Disney+ as well.
