Switched from Netflix to a different streaming service, revealing the substitute chosen

Paying for streaming services has never been more costly, and despite Netflix's offering of fresh films and TV series for September, I remained unconvinced. Consequently, I opted for Paramount Plus as a substitute, and here's the reason behind my decision.

Switched from Netflix to a different streaming service, revealing the substitute chosen

In the world of streaming entertainment, September 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month. While Netflix's marquee series premiere has come to an end, the spotlight seems to be shifting towards Paramount Plus.

The Women's Rugby World Cup is currently streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus in the U.S., providing sports enthusiasts with a compelling reason to subscribe. For those considering the switch, it's worth noting that by opting for Paramount Plus, a subscriber can save $5 per month on the standard tier and $8 per month on the premium tier.

Paramount Plus is offering a 12-month subscription to its Essential and Premium plans at a discounted rate. Through September 18, you can subscribe to the Essential plan for $29, a 50% discount, or the Premium plan for $59, a 50% discount as well. The Essential plan includes access to classic and new movies, as well as top TV shows like "South Park" and "Landman." The Premium plan, on the other hand, includes everything on the Essential plan, as well as access to the SHOWTIME library.

One of the standout shows on Paramount Plus in September 2025 is "Yellowjackets," a gripping drama that is being highly recommended as a reason to consider the platform.

Meanwhile, Netflix's lineup for the rest of the month may leave some viewers wanting more. With the conclusion of Wednesday season 2, the rest of the catalogue looks light. However, "Rick and Morty" fans may find solace in the adult animated horror comedy series, "Haunted Hotel," premiering on September 19, and crime drama enthusiasts might be interested in "Black Rabbit," a limited series premiering on the same day.

While some, like Tom's Guide, are recommending Paramount Plus as an alternative to Netflix, others suggest cancelling Netflix altogether due to a lackluster lineup. For families and fans of Marvel and "Star Wars," Disney Plus might be an ideal alternative, although the cost of a 12-month subscription is not specified in the available information.

In the end, the choice between Netflix and Paramount Plus, or even adding another streaming platform like Disney Plus, depends on individual viewing preferences and budget. With the average household spending over $60 a month on streaming services, totaling more than $700 a year, it's essential to make informed decisions to get the most value for your money.
