Three services for a monthly cost that's less than a Netflix subscription

After years of waiting, Stranger Things' fifth and final season is finally here, but I think I'll be holding off on watching, and not just for its odd release schedule.
Netflix's Standard subscription recently increased to AU$20.99 per month (as reported by Tom's Guide), while its premium subscription sets customers back a whopping AU$28.99 a month – but the king of streaming has customers in a chokehold. That won't change anytime soon, either, as Stranger Things season five will release in three volumes – the first launched on November 27, part two arrives on December 26, and the finale lands on New Year's Day (upside) Down Under.

Binge Premium subscription: was AU$22 p/m now AU$2 (for 1 month, then AU$22)
Taking a massive AU$20 off the price of its Premium plan, this deal lets you access Binge's entire catalogue of content, with up to four simultaneous streams in 4K resolution – all ad-free. If it's just you and your partner watching, the Standard subscription is also down to AU$2 from its usual AU$19 p/m, providing simultaneous 4K to two screens. Plus, this gives you plenty of time to binge hits like Mr Inbetween, Colin From Accounts and The Paper, or just rewatch The Office. It's also a great chance to catch All Her Fault – one of the biggest dramas in the world right now.

Apple TV: was AU$15.99p/m now AU$7.99p/m(for six months, then AU$15.99p/m)
Apple TV is my personal favourite service, and this deal arrives just as Apple TV recently jumped up AU$3 p/m. So, if you cancelled to avoid increased costs, you can dive back in to watch quality content without spending an arm and a leg. Plus, still to come this month are Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age – and season two of WondLa. F1: The Movie arrives in December alongside Hijack season two. Then, in January, look out for Drops of God and the third season of Shrinking. That's massive value over these discounted six months.

Disney+ Standard (annual): was AU$159.99 now AU$111.99
The annual subscription is already 16% cheaper than paying monthly, so this deal boosts your total savings to over 40% on the current AU$159.99 price. While you miss out on the Premium tier's 4K quality, Dolby Atmos, and four concurrent streams, I think the 1080p video and two simultaneous streams will be enough for most people.
View DealWondering what to watch on each service? Apple TV has top-tier content of every kind, including comedy series like The Studio and Shrinking, and edge-of-your-seat drama in the form of Slow Horses, Black Bird, and Presumed Innocent. However, it really excels in sci-fi, with series like For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, and the currently-running Pluribus.
If you're just going to enjoy a one-month stint with Binge for a gold coin, it's hard to recommend anything other than All Her Fault. It features an all-star cast, including Sara Snook (Succession) and Dakota Fanning (Ripley), and follows the world-crushing moments immediately following a child's disappearance.
Last, but certainly not least, Disney+ has a vast, Netflix-like library that accounts for any need. The highlights are live US sport and the entire Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, and Pixar libraries. However, new this month are The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Taylor Swift's The End of an Era and The Eras Tour: The Final Show. And, perhaps most importantly, the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
