The Average Cost Of Streaming Per Year
Most everyone has some sort of streaming service now. What is the average cost of streaming per year? Well, a website called Bango, put together what the average person in the United States pays a year for streaming services. Here are a few things that they found the average subscriber has 4.5 streaming videos subscriptions. Additionally, only 10% of people have 10 or more streaming services. Finally, only 2% have 15 or more. The average person in the United States pays $77 a month or $924 a year for streaming subscriptions. 25% of those people pay more than $100 a month.
So, I just looked at how many streaming services I have. I knew I had a lot, but the fact that I have 9 is more than I thought. Some of them my wife watches like Discovery+ and some of them only I watch like ESPN+. Some of the services I have are only for certain things. For example, I have the Peacock streaming service to watch Premier League soccer. Luckily, that is only $5 a month.
