I wrote my four monthly TV charges on a napkin: Comcast, a streaming bundle, a sports add-on, and one I had forgotten I was paying. It came to more than $90. That napkin is why I spent 22 months testing whether a IPTV service could replace all four for single digits.

The lowest sticker price usually ends up the most expensive over a year, through costs that never appear in a comparison table.
Entry tier normally means one stream, one server, and support that is not really support. None of those three are on the pricing page.
The money leaks elsewhere: a second subscription to cover what the first drops, a streaming box bought because you assumed the hardware was at fault, and a lot of evenings spent troubleshooting something that could not be fixed.
The honest math: take the yearly cost, add everything you bought to make it work, and divide by the number of nights it actually held up.
Write down what you pay now. Not what you think you pay β what leaves your account.
For most households I talk to it is a cable or satellite bill somewhere north of $60, a live-TV streaming service that has raised its price twice, a sports add-on, and one forgotten subscription.
Then write down what you genuinely watched last month. Almost nobody needs twenty thousand channels. The honest answer is usually eight to fifteen, and that gap between what you pay for and what you watch is the entire argument.
Monthly outlay: single digits, against a cable bill that had passed $110.
What I spent beyond the subscription: an ethernet adapter. That is the entire list.
What I would warn you about: the cheapest tier. One stream and one server is not a bargain, it is a different product β and you usually end up buying a second subscription to cover what it drops.
I pay single digits a month for Cutt and cancelled a bill that had passed $60. Pay monthly while you check it, exactly as I did β pricing and the full channel list are at https://cutt.ly/uyvkum2X.
