Great American Family has launched a new streaming experience, and we’ll detail the differences between it and its existing service here.
Great American Media offers a wide range of family-friendly, often faith-based programming through its cable channels Great American Family and Great American Faith & Living. The channels feature original shows and movies starring names like Candace Cameron Bure, Mario Lopez, and many more. Following a 2023 merger, Great American Media also offers viewers an option to stream titles on demand via the Great American Pure Flix service.
But recently, Great American Media quietly launched a new streaming option called GFam+. But what is the difference between these two streamers? Is GFam+ available inside Great American Pure Flix? What are the differences in terms of price and content? We’ll break that all down here, so you know exactly what you’re getting when choosing between the two Great American streaming services.
What’s the difference between Great American Pure Flix and GFam+?
What is GFam+?
GFam+ is a new streaming option from Great American Family. However, unlike Great American Pure Flix, instead of focusing on on-demand content, GFam+ replicates the viewing experience a person has when watching the linear GAF channel. The streamer is essentially a live feed of curated content from the Great American Family channel, so viewers never have to worry about picking what they’ll watch next. GFam+ does the choosing, so all viewers have to do is sit back and watch.
Does GFam+ have a live stream of Great American Family?
Not exactly. GFam+ is meant to replicate the cable viewing experience, and it does try to match what Great American Family is showing at any given time. However, for a multitude of reasons, content can differ between what you’ll find on GFam+ and the Great American Family cable channel.
So, the streamer does not simply provide a livestream of the GAF cable channel, but it is the closest thing that you can get ewithout subscribing to a live TV streaming service.
What’s the difference between GFam+ and Great American Pure Flix?
Great American Pure Flix is an on-demand service that allows viewers to pick and choose which titles they watch instead of offering a linear experience. Pure Flix is a lot like Netflix or HBO Max, except its content library is stocked with favorites from the Great American Media lineup.
As described above, GFam+ is more for viewers who like the experience of watching Great American Family on cable, but don’t want the more expensive subscription. Instead of on-demand titles, GFam+ users can lean back and watch the linear channel programmed for them.

Great American Pure Flix costs $10 per month if viewers prefer the flexibility of a monthly plan. Alternatively, customers can sign up for the annual subscription of the service for $90 per year, a savings of 25%.
Viewers can also choose between monthly and annual plans on GFam+. This service costs $5 per month, or $50 per year, depending on what plan you pick.
