Hulu + Live TV ranks third because it is the strongest bundle for families who would otherwise pay for several Disney services. Hulu's help center lists the main Hulu + Live TV plan at $99.99 a month with live TV, Hulu with ads, Disney+ with ads and ESPN Select. Subscribers also get the full ESPN Unlimited experience in the ESPN app, which covers ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes. A Live TV Only plan is $98.99, so the bundle costs just $1 more, and the Premium version with ad-free Hulu and Disney+ is $109.99. For Spanish speakers, Live TV Only Español is $28.99 a month. The drawbacks are the highest English-language starting price in this list and no published channel count on the pricing page, so check the lineup for your ZIP code. You must be located in the US to subscribe. We compared documented features and published prices.
