While going for the cheapest streaming option typically means settling for ads, there are plenty of lesser-known services out there that have, at least so far, avoided endless price hikes. While trying to cut back on my own streaming costs, I found a decent spread of subscriptions that offer ad-free streaming and have a monthly cost of $10 or less.
I’ll say now that more niche streaming services are exactly that - more niche. While you may not find the scope of a library like Disney+, owned by the company that seemingly owns everything, you can definitely find a reasonably-priced service tailored to the genres and even mediums you enjoy the most.
Ad-Free Streaming Subscriptions You Can Get for Less Than $10/Month
The benefit of these more specific services is that they’ll help you find something new you wouldn’t have otherwise. More importantly, you can tell your friends the silly names of the places you stream random things. At least they're cheap!

For the documentary and reality TV-inclined, discovery+ has got you covered. For $9.99 (or $6.99, if you can bear the ads), you’ll get access to pretty much everything Discovery has to offer. We’re talking Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, Naked and Afraid, 90 Day Fiance, and if you're particularly daring, even the likes of MILF Manor. You’ll also see classic series from HGTV, Food Network, and a personal favorite, TLC.
