(NEXSTAR) — Like millions of people around the world, you probably have subscriptions to streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Max and Prime Video. Inflationary factors may have many looking for more entertainment at home this summer, so you might be ready to expand your streaming video options.

But some of the more niche (or just newer) streaming platforms might seem puzzling to you. Here’s an explainer of some of the popular (but less ubiquitous than Netflix or Max) streaming services.

Peacock

Price: $7.99 per month.

NBC’s streaming platform Peacock has lots to offer, including NBC’s currently airing TV shows and classic NBC comedies like “The Office” and “Parks & Rec.” Peacock’s also the landing place for many Universal films, including the “Jurassic World” films, “Wicked,” and some of the “Halloween” franchise movies. Peacock is also a treasure for fans of Bravo’s stable of reality shows, as it’s the streaming home of “The Real Housewives,” “Summer House” and “Below Deck.” Peacock also offers some live sports coverage, including WWE and Premier League.

AMC+

Price(s): AMC+ has three different tier plans. Customers can choose between $6.99 per month with ads; $9.99 per month ad-free; and $95.88 annual ad-free.

AMC+ comes with full access to AMC content, in addition to horror films/TV from Shudder, BBC America, and independent movies via Sundance Now and IFC Films. AMC originals like shows in “The Walking Dead” franchise, Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” series, and older AMC shows like “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” are all available to stream with AMC+.

Mubi

Price: $14.99 per month.

For finding excellent contemporary global cinema, Mubi is a well-curated, thoughtful and surprising service with a wide library of modern (and some classic) independent films, arthouse cinema, and documentaries. The people at Mubi love movies and it shows in the service’s no-frills interface and expansive supplemental materials (reading, featurettes, etc). Mubi is also a great place to discover and follow specific directors, as Mubi often offers multiple selections from many of the world’s most innovative auteurs. Last year, the service made a name for itself with the release of the Academy Award-nominated “The Substance,” and Mubi is currently the only place it’s streaming. If you’re looking to expand your film palette and are curious what’s being made around the world today, Mubi is the one for you.

The Criterion Channel

Price: $10.99 per month or $99.99 per year.

While there’s the smallest bit of overlap between Criterion and Mubi libraries, Criterion Channel focuses on films that are considered “classics” or “bests.” Criterion has a huge library and most of the company’s Criterion Collection selections (which are released on DVD and/or Blu-Ray), are also available to stream on it. Criterion is a great place to get a baseline cinema education, as it’s home to some of the medium’s most influential and beloved films. Casual viewers will also find some very watchable (and good) Hollywood hits.

Tubi

Price: Free/ad-supported.

Tubi offers a vast array of material that’s all free to watch on-demand. The Tubi library features over 275,000 movies and TV episodes, in addition to over 300 Tubi originals, the company says. Tubi also has carved out a space for original movies and TV shows created by and targeted toward the Black community. In addition to its originals, Tubi offers TV from networks like A&E, Lifetime, Dove Channel, Fox Sports, and Hallmark. Based on quality of offerings and its completely free price tag, Tubi is a great addition to any TV menu.

Kanopy/Hoopla

Price: Free with a library card.

These two services, Kanopy, and Hoopla, both offer streaming for free for those with library cards from participating libraries, who pay for you to be able to stream the materials. Kanopy offers many high-quality film selections, like those from the previously mentioned Criterion Collection, in addition to tons of educational entertainment through the Kanopy Kids section. Click “Does my library offer Kanopy?” to find out if your library has Kanopy available. Meanwhile, Hoopla also offers video streaming content but also has an on-demand audiobooks, eBooks, comics, magazines and music. Current newly released music offerings include Lady Gaga’s “Mayhem” and Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem.” Curious if your library offers Hoopla? The service says it’ll use your location at registration to find “partner libraries” in your area. You can also inquire about the services at your local library branch.

Pluto TV

Price: Free/ad-supported.

No streaming service quite captures that old forgotten feeling of turning on cable TV and stumbling upon something interesting quite like Pluto TV. While Pluto offers a robust stable of on-demand content (featuring many TV and movies that aren’t streamable elsewhere), where the platform really shines is its live TV lineup. Featuring a variety of channels under several different television buckets, there appears to be a Pluto channel for every viewer. Horror fans will especially love its endlessly playing scary films across multiple channels, as will fans of classic sitcoms, many of which are given their own channel solely dedicated to them. “Three’s Company” channel, anyone?

Finally, don’t forget your local library (likely) has a wide selection of DVDs and Blu-Rays that you can check out completely free. Happy summer streaming, America!
