The Internet is the new television, because more and more young people prefer to watch films and series online via video-on-demand instead of following the fixed broadcast times on TV. Regardless of user preferences, certain film or series titles are only available via streaming services.
If films and series are available in streams in a large selection of titles and in good quality, users are happy to pay for the stream instead of watching the titles illegally. We at allmaxx have taken a close look at different streaming providers and compared their prices for you.
Amazon Prime Instant Video
Less than a year ago, Amazon restructured its DVD rental and video-on-demand service Lovefilm and presented Amazon Prime Instant Video: a pure streaming service. Many film and series titles are available on Amazon. You can only watch the films and series in the stream via Amazon Prime Instant Video online via your browser or with your smart TV. Titles in the original language are almost exclusively available via the iOS app. Amazon Prime Instant Video is available monthly for around 8 euros. As an Amazon Student member, you don't pay anything for the service, but you must have a Prime membership for 24 euros per year. Find out more about Amazon Student plus Prime Instant Video now.

Netflix
Netflix has also been available in Germany since September 2014. No question - when it comes to series, Netflix has its streaming offering. The streaming provider tries to stand out from its competitors with specially produced series, such as “House of Cards”. However, the range of series is significantly more current than the films that Netflix offers. You can watch the films and series in the stream both in the browser on the desktop PC or MAC and on your smartphone. However, the content is not available in offline mode. The cheapest tariff on Netflix costs 8 euros per month . Here you can get all films and series streamed in SD resolution on one device. If you want to see all films and series in HD and 4K resolution and benefit from the ability to play the service on four devices, Netflix will cost you 12 euros per month. On to Netflix.
