Just missed the top 5
GPT Apple TV+ — excellent originals and technical quality, but the library is still too small · Peacock — strong value, NBC/Bravo shows, sports, and next-day TV, but less essential than the top five
Claude Apple TV+ — best-in-class originals quality but library is too small to justify standalone subscription · Paramount+ — strong sports and CBS catalog plus the Skydance merger, but weaker originals slate and brand momentum than the top five
Gemini Hulu — limited availability outside the United States and redundant due to its content merging into Disney+ · YouTube TV — excellent live TV coverage but its high monthly cost makes it a cable replacement rather than a traditional streaming service
