As spring turns into early summer and your calendar starts filling up with plans that don’t involve your couch, it’s a good time to take a harder look at your streaming lineup. Subscriptions have a way of quietly piling up — and so do their monthly charges — making this the perfect moment to cut back without feeling like you’re missing much.
The average American is still shelling out an average of $84 a month on the best streaming services, according to Lending Tree. And with nearly every major platform hiking prices or adding tiers, staying subscribed to everything at once just doesn’t add up anymore. The smarter play is to rotate: keep the services that are delivering right now, and hit pause on the ones that aren’t pulling their weight.
