Streaming services in Canada are growing like wildflower with a lot more than just Netflix, Disney and Apple in the mix.

Gone are the days of brick-and-mortar video rental shops; Canadian streaming services are taking over our screens. With over 73% of Canadians streaming movies or TV shows online each month, the subscription service industry continues to grow bigger each year.

But how much are these services actually costing Canadians? Is it worth it to subscribe to a few streaming services, or is cable the cheaper — and better — option?

Here's a breakdown of the most popular paid streaming services in Canada and how much it will cost you to subscribe.

Apple TV+

Apple's streaming service offers only original content. Subscribers have access to star-studded TV shows such as Dickinson and The Morning Show. Cost: $5.99/month.

Amazon Prime Video

This service offers a mix of award-winning TV shows like Parks and Recreation and newly-released films such as Robin Hood. Cost: $7.99/month.

OUTtv

Canada's only national LGBTQ+ Network, boasting reality TV shows like RuPaul's Drag Race and Naked Attraction. Cost: $3.99/month.

The total cost of all of these Canadian streaming services? $199.85 per month, or close to $2,400 each year. In comparison, a Canadian cable package is just $49.99 per month — saving subscribers a whopping $150, or close to a month's rent ($1800) each year.

That being said, it seems unlikely (read: ridiculous) that a person would be subscribed to all 16 of these Canadian streaming services, so it could still be cheaper for Canadians to choose streaming services over cable.

The bottom line? In the year 2020, Netflix is like reusable metal straws: it's here to stay.
