Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. However, this is becoming a packed market, with at least two new services due to be launched in the UK very soon.
ITV and the BBC are launching Britbox later this year, at the same time that Disney will be launching their Disney+ service.
However, until then, arguably the two biggest video streaming services today are Netflix and Amazon Prime.
So; how do they stack up?
Well; I subscribe to both; with the Amazon service part of my overall Prime subscription. For Netflix, it's £9.99 per month (and that's about to increase a little bit too!)
If you purchase only the Amazon service, it's £7.99 per month (but you do get 30 days free).
Originals and Exclusives
They both boast their Originals and Exclusives. What's the difference?
An Original series or movie was commissioned directly for the service, whilst and Exclusive is where they have negotiated to be the only streaming services to show the title. It is highly possible to see and Original on other broadcast services - for example, The Bodyguard was made by ITV, but was shown on the BBC, and was then bought by Netflix. It's a complicated business.
Both Amazon and Netflix heavily promote their own 'original' tv series and movies; and whilst Netflix seem to have the upper-hand with some of their content, Amazon are right on their tail with some great offerings.
It's also good to see that both of these services have stepped up, in recent times, and 'saved' network series' after they were announced they were being cancelled.
Shows like Brooklyn 99 and The Expanse are two examples where they were picked up by Netflix and Amazon respectively, all down to fan-pressure.
Netflix, of course, has huge titles, such as Stranger Things, Black Mirror and a number of Marvel titles too (but that is likely to change when Disney+ is launched).
Amazon has the brilliant Mrs Maisel, Sneaky Pete, Man In The High Castle and Good Omens and many more great shows.
So, which is best?
So, back to the question I asked at the beginning?
Which is best?
It's difficult to answer, as they both offer so much.
I think Netflix might just 'win' based on the sheer volume of content available; but that will change when titles are removed in the coming months.
New services will be vying for your money; and if you're a Disney fan there is a whole load of new and exclusive content being made for that platform. As I said at the start, it's a busy marketplace, which doesn't look like it's going to quieten down any time soon.
Stock up on the popcorn.
