Everyday people tend to make decisions. From small things like what to wear up to huge things on considering having a family—choices must be highly appreciated. And by talking about making wise decisions, you must also remember to have it on small things first, like choosing your online streaming website. 

In this world wherein television watching is becoming more of a task than for leisure time, having to choose the perfect match online streaming program meant for you is already a serious responsibility to take. Luckily, there are tons of online streaming websites to choose from on the Internet. And among these websites, the talks of the town focuses on two: Netflix and Disney + Why is that? Here's why. 

Why People Battle Out Disney + and Netflix?

Netflix, as most people can observe, can now be considered as the king of online streaming sites. Maybe because it is one of the most successful pioneers of streaming online and it has over 140 million subscribers already all over the world. On the other hand, Disney + (Disney Plus) is a newcomer in the competition. Since its official launching date happened just on Nov. 12, 2019, there is still too much to expect in the said platform. 

Still, Disney + won on a category that people mostly think about when it comes to choosing the best online streaming websites. It is way cheaper compared to Netflix. 

Disney + vs. Netflix: Perks and Cons

Prices and Availability

The starting price for Disney Plus ranges in $6.99 per month. This is a little lesser compared to Netflix's $8.99 subscription per month. Aside from this, Netflix also features three different streaming plans to choose from—Basic, Standard, and Premium. These streaming tiers also correspond to different prices; however, in Disney Plus, you can enjoy simultaneous watching up to four devices—without any additional charges. 

Marvel/Disney/Star Wars vs. Original Programming

If you're going to battle out the featured contents of the two online streaming sites, the winner will be based on your preference. Disney Plus features Disney programs, Pixar shows, Marvel installments, Star Wars-inspired series, and even National Geographic programs—so basically if you're looking for a family-friendly platform, Disney Plus aims to be your man. 

However, Netflix proves on its content that they deserve to be paid more since its original programming features diverse programs in the platform. Shows like Stranger Things, Black Mirror, and even Money Heist are just three of the best-featured shows you can get through Netflix. 

Features and User Interface

Though features and user interface are just the least problem when it comes to choosing the best online streaming sites, it can also be a category for tie-breaker. For example, Netflix' features genre-based categories on its website. You can choose from Drama, Comedy, Romance and many more. On the contrary, Disney Plus has its more specific category tabs with its five distinct channels, such as Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. 

Additionally, Disney Plus seemed to be opening its doors on streaming on the Nintendo Switch. Once this happened, this will be a first for the company. 

Final Verdict

If you're looking forward to trying something new, Disney Plus is a must-have for you. However, it is still hard to beat a familiar platform that was reigning over the past years.
