It is an American subscription streaming service and is owned by The Walt Disney company. It's going to be a huge service that will stream all the TV shows and movies from big brands such as Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, the entire Simpsons library and many more.
It is repeatedly being compared with the massive Netflix streaming service, so here are 6 differences between Disney Plus and Netflix:
1. PRICE
Disney Plus is going to be a much cheaper service for at least this year. Netflix has 3 streaming tiers, you have your basic streaming package which is $8.99 a month.
Then you have an upgraded $12.99 tier that allows you to watch on 2 screens and at last, you have the $15.99 tier that allows you to watch on 4 screens.
However, Disney plus has no such tiers and is offering $6.99 per month which allows you to watch 4 simultaneous screens.
2. PARENTAL GUIDANCE
Disney Plus is PG-13, which means it will not offer any viewing content that is over the rating of PG-13. So it has more of a kid's stuff and people who are looking for horror movies or R-rated content would have to use Netflix for that.
3. FRANCHISE VS. NON-FRANCHISE
Disney will be running more of the shows that it has bought such as Marvel and Star Wars. However, Netflix emphasizes more on the original content and new content. You might also get stuff like DC movies on Netflix but has more original content.
4. CLASSICS CATALOGUE
Disney Plus is going to give you access to a lot of stellar classics old Disney cartoons, which many people have been waiting for especially those who spend $50 to buy the Blu-ray updated copy of Aladin. You'll have everything here.
Disney has a lot of old stuff they have to release and people are excited about it. These are the things that you won't find on Netflix. Netflix, however, has a vast variety of Hollywood classics of other genres.
5. FINANCIAL STABILITY
Netflix has a market capitalization worth approximately $145 billion with more than 130 million paying subscribers. But despite having a revenue of more than $16 billion,
it has a cash flow of negative $3 billion, this is due to huge spending by Netflix on original content (around $15 billion) with a debt of $12 billion.
Disney, however, is in better shape with a market capitalization of more than $239 billion, the revenue of more than $59 billion and positive cash flow of $14 billion
6. CONTENT
Disney has been in the entertainment business for 95 years, so it has a huge portfolio of content behind it that includes, Marvel, Pixar, and classic Disney favorites.
It is also expected that Disney is going to spend the next year pulling this content off the Netflix platform which is 16% of its total content, which will eventually weaken the market leader in the process.
