Pros and Cons: 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 185 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. Plus, Fubo has an extensive video-on-demand library. While most streaming services have VOD content, Fubo has more than 40K TV shows and movies available via VOD each month as well as 55K 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 less channels and they have a big hole in their local sports coverage. By basically abandoning the inclusion of regional sports networks, YouTube TV has denied many within the local markets access to their NBA, MLB and NHL teams’ games. They do have the WarnerMedia networks. The biggest issue for YouTube TV is just the lack of options. They only have the one English plan, and your only plan upgrade option is whether to get the expensive NFL Sunday Ticket bundle or not.
