Fubo vs YouTube TV

When it comes to cord cutting, Fubo and YouTube TV are two of the best streaming services around. Both are substantially cheaper than cable and offer many of the same great live channels for live sports and popular entertainment. When it comes to picking between the two, it comes down to inches in terms of price, channels available, and features.

Fubo is a more premium product and it has the price tag to match. Fubo plans are loaded with live channels (at least 175 live channels) and quality features. If you compare the channels available on Fubo vs. YouTube TV, Fubo has an edge in local sports coverage with their regional sports networks. Fubo also has a different setup for their Cloud DVR. With no expiration on recorded content, Fubo users can build a library of their favorite content without the fear of losing it. 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.

YouTube TV compares to Fubo in a lot of the same ways, even the price isn’t that much cheaper. YouTube TV comes with noticeably fewer channels and they have a big hole in their local sports coverage of the NBA, MLB, and NHL. They do have the WarnerMedia networks. Another big difference between Fubo and YouTube TV is how Cloud DVR works. YouTube TV has unlimited hours of storage for recording everything. However, all recorded content has an expiration date, so users can never build their own on-demand library.
