Fubo vs Philo

When talking specifically about finding a live TV streaming service to replace traditional cable TV, Fubo is the better option between these two. The Fubo channel count and content is closer to what you’d see from a traditional cable package, only much more affordable. Philo, on the other hand, does offer a unique option to cord cutters looking for a cable alternative. However, the product is very limited, doesn’t offer much customization and heavily relies on being cheaper as its primary feature.

Fubo is a more premium product with a price tag to match. Fubo plans are loaded with live channels (at least 175 live channels) and innovative features. If you were to compare the channels available on Fubo vs. Philo, the Fubo channel lineup is far superior with both their entertainment and sports content. Fubo also offers a lot of customization through multiple plans and add-on options. Plus, Fubo has an extensive video-on-demand library. While most streaming services have VOD content, Fubo has more than 40,000 TV shows and movies available via VOD each month as well as 55,000 live sporting events on the platform annually.

Philo is a unique option for cord cutters. It’s got just one cheap plan with a small channel count of somewhat niche but bingeable programming. It even has a few high-demand channels like HGTV among its selection but is missing a lot of the key channels you’d expect to see from cable TV or a cable replacement streaming service. With only three add-ons to choose from, Philo doesn't have a lot of ways to customize your TV plan. Philo feels like a streaming service for cord cutters who want to watch TV but don’t really care about what they’re watching.
