Rating of the best NETFLIX analogues for 2022

In the turmoil of current events, foreign structures are actively leaving the Russian market or suspending their activities. This popular streaming TV or streaming service was among the number of such “leaving”. But although NETFLIX announced only a temporary disappearance from the domestic market, the topic of partial or complete replacement of the resource remains open. About programs similar to NETFLIX and how to choose the desired package of services, this review will tell.

Description of the resource and benefits of registration

First, let's deal with the very concept of a streaming platform - this is a streaming service, which includes a number of directions on the world wide web that have a common access point. And everything that happens is broadcast to the user in real time. All such portals can be:

1. Free - in this case, you will find a stream of advertising and not the best image and sound quality.
2. Paid - they will not contain videos calling for something to buy.

Residents of Russia are currently in great demand for a digital subscription, which makes it possible to receive regular access to various services, online cinemas and other services with all the associated bonuses and discounts. The latter include Netflix itself, which, like most of these platforms, is entertainment in nature, but is more commonly used:

• to watch movies;
• documentary films;
• as well as serials;

• for game consoles;
• Premium TV programs.

Every streaming platform in existence has its own offerings. So the subscription could be:

1. Monthly;
2. Annual;
3. life;
4. For online or offline services.

The latter option has not yet received registration from Russian users. Meanwhile, today not only Netflix offers to issue such a package of services, over the current year many companies have appeared that can compete with it.

Advantages and disadvantages of these resources

Advantages:

1. Using streaming cinemas allows you to watch your favorite movie or series at any time. Because the resources are practically unlimited.
2. Broadcasting entertainment content online is recognized as a more efficient way than downloading multimedia blocks. To download such a file, PC memory resources are used, where a copy of the downloaded file is stored. For the same reason, you cannot immediately start watching a movie until it is downloaded in its entirety. While in streaming mode, copying is not required and a session can already be started.
3. In some cases, long-awaited content is available even before the premiere.
4. Using a paid subscription allows you to disable annoying ads.
5. And the existing program makes it possible to interrupt use or change the current plan at any time, making streaming platforms as convenient as possible for fans of home cinema. In addition, in real time, you can view not only films, musicals and theatrical performances are also available.

The disadvantages of such a service include.

1. You can not purchase only 1 subscription at once for all cases. Since each resource has its own set of content, which can often be limited, and in order to increase viewing, you need to purchase additional services.
2. It happens that the subscription action does not work in a different country or region.
3. When translating a foreign product, delays are possible, and for free projects or pirated copies, even skips of entire episodes.
4. For online cinemas, it is not so easy to find the right equipment. For example, not everyone manages to correctly adjust the acoustics of the house. The image efficiency is also lost.
5. Using subscriptions is not profitable if you do not turn on the online movie theater often. Because such services require monthly payment, even when it is not required.

Criterias of choice

The following tips will help you decide which streaming service is better to buy:

1. You need to understand what exactly you expect from him. Since, in addition to universal cinemas broadcasting a foreign product, there are also services that sell 90% of exclusively domestic content.
2. Frequency and number of views. If for lovers of quality cinema, subscriptions with the maximum filling of content will be relevant. For those who prefer selective views of a particular direction or chaotic shows over the weekend, basic offers or niche projects will be the best option.
3. The next thing you need to pay attention to is the ability to connect other devices. One subscription is capable of supporting about 5 items. However, a large number of adjacent systems slow down playback.
4. Quality picture. The most popular format is Full HD 1080. This solution is optimal for many related devices, including PCs, smart TVs, and even mobile devices that support iOS or Android. Less common is 4K extension, it occurs in 7-15% of cases.
5. In order not to make mistakes when choosing a free service, it is worth considering the number of commercials. The smaller, the better, and it will also be an unpleasant minus if the block breaks into the middle of the movie, covering the screen with itself, while trying to close the latter, the following dialog boxes appear.
6. It is desirable that site navigation is as convenient and understandable as possible.
7. The presence of sorting by category.
8. The ability to leave comments on the film and share a link to it. As well as communication with the administration.
9. The probability of updating the film portal and supplementing it with novelties of foreign works 4-6 months ago.
