Even though Netflix has a vast and constantly changing library, five smaller streaming services will still give you a lot more movies, TV and sports. And in the Cyber Monday 2023 streaming sales, you can sign up to five separate streaming services for less than the price of Netflix's cheapest tier.
Cyber Monday is the last day to pick up on this deal, and that's because the discount on Max will run out by the end of the day. Max, if you didn't know, is actually two streaming services — Discovery Plus is included in its library — which is partly how we get to five in total.
There are plenty of streaming discounts over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts, perfect for people who are sick of the constant Netflix price hikes. These let smart buyers unlock huge new libraries of videos, all for really low prices.
Case in point: while Netflix Basic with Ads (the cheapest Netflix tier) is $6.99 each month, you can actually get access to five different streaming services for a lower monthly price. Not one, but five.
This is thanks to some of the amazing discounts we've seen this year. Let's first look at all the great Cyber Monday streaming deals, and then we'll look at different combinations you could opt for that'll all cost you less per month than Netflix.

So these are the deals we're playing with. Now, let's see how you can beat that Netflix subscription.
Cyber Monday streaming bundles
Thanks to the sheer number of Cyber Monday streaming deals, there are a few different combinations of services you can sign up to, and each will run you less than the $6.99 Netflix price.
Our maths works up to 5, if you consider that a merger earlier this year means that a Max subscription includes Discovery Plus. So here's the best combination:
- 5 services: Max ($2.99) + Discovery Plus (free with Max) + Hulu ($0.99) + Starz ($0.99 with Hulu) + Peacock ($1.99) = $6.96
That's 5 streaming services for $0.03 less than the 1 big dog. Nice!
Note: you can swap out Peacock for Paramount Plus and the math remains the same to begin with. We've picked Peacock as the Cyber Monday deal applies for longer: 12 months instead of 3.
You may be wondering why we didn't include the Disney Plus deal. Well, that's because you can only sign up to it or Starz, and it's $1.01 more, so that'd take you over the $6.99 threshold. If you'd like, you could ditch Starz and Peacock or Max and you'd be over, but then you won't hit 5 different streamers.
Remember that not all deals last for the same amount of time. If you opt for the above, you'll enjoy the Starz, Max and Discovery Plus deals only for 6 months, and after that only Hulu and Peacock will remain so the final six months will only ask $2.98 from you.
If instead you go for Paramount Plus you'll pay $6.96 for the first three months, $4.97 for the next three and $2.98 for the last six.
Bear in mind that these prices assume you cancel subscriptions once the deals run out; if you don't you could quickly end up with a massive monthly bill!
The maths is completely different if you're already an Amazon Prime subscriber, thanks to all the channels on offer, but we didn't want to make assumptions so didn't include these. Find out more about the Prime Video Channel deals here.
