How We Test Products and Services: A Commitment to Excellence and Authority
When The Streamable launched in 2017, the transition from traditional cable to streaming was more than just a trend—it was a bold and often intimidating leap into the unknown. At the time, platforms like DIRECTV, Sling, and Fubo were still finding their footing, and the idea of smart TVs as a household staple seemed far off. For users, the shift wasn’t just about discovering content; it was about navigating a fragmented landscape of compatibility, pricing models, and features, all without a clear guide.
This glaring gap in the market led to the creation of The Streamable. From the outset, our mission has been to simplify streaming decisions, empowering users with trusted, comprehensive, and unbiased insights. Today, that mission remains the foundation of everything we do.
Unmatched Coverage and In-Depth Expertise
Since our inception, we’ve dedicated ourselves to an exhaustive exploration of the streaming world. To date, we’ve tested and reviewed over 300 video-on-demand (VOD) services, ranging from industry leaders like Netflix and Disney+ to niche platforms such as Pangolo Next for telenovelas, Qello for music enthusiasts, and BYUtv for family-friendly programming.
Our deep connections with streaming providers and real-time engagement with our audience allow us to stay ahead of industry developments. Whether it’s uncovering changes in subscription tiers, device compatibility updates, or new content offerings, our timely reporting ensures that over a million monthly visitors rely on us for accurate, actionable information.
We don’t stop at on-demand content. Our expertise spans live TV streaming services, catering to viewers who rely on us for updates on their favorite sports teams, local news channels, and regional broadcasting quirks. By leveraging proprietary technology, we provide dynamic insights on everything from upcoming series premieres to live events, ensuring our readers are always informed.
While the streaming ecosystem has grown more accessible over the years, its complexities persist. Through meticulous testing, in-depth analysis, and a steadfast commitment to clarity, we continue to guide users through an ever-changing industry landscape.

How We Test Products and Services
Our testing methodology is a cornerstone of our credibility. Every streaming platform we review undergoes extensive hands-on evaluation by our team, who document their experiences with screenshots, metrics, and real-world insights.
Key Evaluation Metrics:

Our testing framework combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative observations, ensuring a holistic view of each service. We approach reviews with a consumer-first mindset, asking questions like:
- Does the service meet its advertised claims?
- How does it stack up against competitors?
- Who would benefit most from subscribing, and is it worth the cost?
By addressing these critical questions, we provide the clarity and confidence users need to make informed decisions.
