YOUR Roku and Amazon Fire Stick have four completely free streaming services that you may have missed.

Combining them allows you to unlock a huge library of content that you don’t have to pay a penny for.

Here are the free streaming services you definitely want to try.

Plexus

First on our list is Plex – a big name in streaming, but one you may have missed.

That’s because Plex started as a way to share personal content you saved on a screen of your choosing.

This meant you could create a “personal Netflix” with your own saved media.

But in late 2019, Plex launched its own ad-supported streaming service.

This is now one of the most popular free TV apps out there, and for good reason.

Plex has a frankly massive library of over 1,100 channels (with over 800 available in the US).

You can watch these channels live at any time and they cover a variety of genres including NewsSports, cookingand more.

And Plex also has an on-demand content library that includes more than 50,000 free movies and TV episodes.

Free Amazon

Another great – but easily missed – option is Amazon Freevee.

There are several reasons why you might have missed it.

For starters, it’s available on Amazon Prime Video (normally a paid service), so you might not realize there’s Freevee content there too.

But it is also available as a standalone download.

However, it was previously called IMDb Freedive and IMDb TV, and only changed to Freevee in April 2022.

Stream Switching – The Easiest Way to Cut Your Bills?

Here’s what Sean KeachHead of Technology and Science at The Sun, thinks…

It’s no secret that TV streaming apps are costing more and more.

Not only are prices skyrocketing, but we are also forced to pay for an ever-increasing number of apps and services.

And when you combine those TV bills with your music streaming, cell phone and internet fees, and all the other drains on your bank account, it all starts to get a little much.

One of the best ways to reduce your TV bills is to simply cancel all your streaming subscriptions and sign up for just one per month.

Choose an app like Netflix, Disney+ or Apple TV+ and explore all the content you want to watch on that app.

Then, the following month, swap it for something else.

And after doing them all, you can go back to the beginning again.

It’s an easy way to avoid spending on an ongoing library of streaming apps with more content than you could possibly watch.

Also don’t forget that paid streaming isn’t the only game in town.

There are many apps that don’t cost a penny to enjoy, and downloading a few will unlock thousands of live TV channels, as well as tens of thousands of movies and shows.

Try apps like Tubi, Amazon Freevee, The Roku Channel, Plex, and Pluto TV to get ad-supported television without having to pay any monthly fees.

Additionally, Roku and Amazon are rivals when it comes to streaming devices.

So it might be surprising for Roku fans to find out that there is a Freevee app available on their devices.

Either way, Freevee is a great option for fans of free streaming.

You’ll get over 400 live TV channels, plus over 15,000 shows and movies.

Amazon Freevee is even available on Roku devices – as well as smartphones

The Roku Channel

Just as Amazon’s Freevee is available on Roku devices, the popular Roku Channel can be installed on Amazon Fire Sticks.

So it’s easy to see why Amazon fans might have missed out on this great Roku option.

Of course, it’s also available on Roku devices.

The Roku Channel is a powerful streaming option with over 350 live channels.
