Streaming services are gradually replacing the big screens of cinemas, and people worldwide, including Singapore seem to be enjoying this new invention. I mean, who wants to waste money every weekend to tag all the family to watch a movie when you can watch it in the comfort of your home. Singapore people seem to be slowly adapting to streaming services; hence, the rise of multiple services to choose from.
You may need to part with a certain amount of money to pay for your subscription, but it is worth it. For comfort and versatility in accessing all kinds of videos and channels you want at the comfort of your home, consider the following top streaming services in Singapore.
• Netflix
Ever heard of “Netflix and chills weekends”? Netflix is the number one leading streaming service worldwide, and we understand why most people prefer it. You will find anything you want in this service ranging from original series, latest movies, TV channels, documentaries, and did we mention kids shows?
Netflix is a family streaming service that consists of all local and most international content. It has a monthly subscription of 11.98 dollars for one screen or 15.98 dollars for 2 screens. On signing up, you get a 30 days trial for free, which will allow you to gauge if you want to pay for the subscription subsequently or not.
• Apple TV +
Although Apple TV + came much later than the other streaming apps, it quickly caught up with the rest, and we are here for it. This streaming service is packed with great content that most Singapore people can relate to, and they have hired great talents. The best part of it is that this streaming service is available in all Apple products. So, you can access this service whether you want to watch your favorite talk show on your apple phone or your macbook.

• Viu
If you are into Asian content and films, this is the best streaming platform to subscribe to. VIU is one of the newest streaming platforms that entered six continents, including Singapore. VIU in Singapore is available in a premium subscription that coves films and other Asian content from Korea, Japan,
Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. The films and other Asian content are streamed in Asian languages but always have English subtitles for better understanding.

An outstanding feature about Amazon prime is that they only upload high-quality and most famous films voted as the best previously. It is quite cheap as subscription costs around 2.99 dollars monthly and a one-month free trial offer.

• The projector waves
Another great streaming service making waves in Singapore is none other than projector plus. This was invented to supplement the theater screening. When the pandemic hit globally, large gatherings were prohibited, including attending the cinema. This led to the “birth” of such a service where people can view streaming of new films being launched at the comfort of their homes.
It has a wide range of art-house films and cult classics. The subscription for the projector plus is different since it is paid per screening. The screaming ranges from as low as 10 dollars for two days and above.

It is packed with documentaries and series covering historical scenes, sports, nature, and other educational content. The subscription is affordable as a monthly rate is 6.99 dollars, and an annual pay is 69.90 dollars.
• Hotstar
This OOT Indian streaming platform has not been in Singapore for a long time. It consists of major series and shows from India. So if you love Indian drama series and channels, I believe you will enjoy this streaming platform. It is crucial to note that Hot Star only has an annual subscription of 69.98 dollars.
• Hayu
Some of us love keeping up with other people’s personal lives, such as the Kardashians, the real wives’ shows, dance moms, million dollar listings, and so on. These programs are also available in Singapore, and you can find all of them at the Hayu streaming service. It has all drama and reality shows you would not want to miss with just a 4.99 dollar subscription per month.

Whether you are into drama comedies, reality shows, documentaries, and even reality TV, these and more are available on various streaming services. You need to figure out what experience you need, your family settings, and your budget to choose a streaming platform that works for you and your family.
