Available Content “2/2.1851.png” Whether it’s an original series or one from a well-known Starz network has plenty to offer. Our score: 9/10 There are many great series coming from Starz like Black Sails Spartacus or Camelot but they’ve already finished. It’s shows like Outlander Power or American Gods which set the pace nowadays. The company appears to be upping its game and has tons of series in progress including a Mariah Carey show that we might be persuaded to be curious about. You can also watch other content styles like children’s movies like The Storyteller oldie shows like The Bernie Mac show movies like Big Hero 6 Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Spider-Man Homecoming Dear John Passengers Up Salt or Zombieland! Or maybe this holiday season you really want to watch Home Alone. Oh and don’t forget those fitness clips or comedy stand-up shows. You can see these movies or shows when they are on different Starz networks at the set time they are being broadcast, or hope that the content is available on request. With new episodes from your favorite shows that air weekly, just a few hours after the episode went live, you can access the video on demand. Performance
“2/2.1852.png” The service is well-optimized and there were no problems we encountered while streaming the content. Our Score: ‘ 10/10 Regardless of which platform you are using Starz will keep up with you as long as your Internet connection is up to par. According to the platform’s recommendations you need at least 2.5 Mbps Internet speeds but they recommend 6 Mbps for the best HD content streaming experience. This is a pretty high speed requirement and we’ve seen much more demanding platforms.
“2/2.1854.png” There are two options for pricing paying the latter on a monthly or annual basis gives you quite a price cut. Our score: 9/10 Starz comes with two options for you to be able to pay a monthly fee or pay once and cover the entire year. Monthly subscription costs $8.99, while annual subscription costs $74.99 at publishing time, which is a price reduction of 30 per cent. Even if you get Starz through one of the live TV streaming platforms we talked about you still get the same $8.99 price offer. DirecTV Now is the only platform where you will get a different offer, where the subscription costs only $8 per month. So if you’re looking to cut the cord and make a good deal for Starz this one is.
The Verdict
Starz is a great platform if you love to get access to loads of live streaming content and original on-demand shows and great movies. The subscription price is good the apps are working great and there is really no reason not to sign up.
