Hulu Vs Netflix, Which One Is Worth Your Hard Earned Money?

3. Netflix has no commercials.

For the longest time I only used Netflix, but recently I was introduced to Hulu and there's been no turning back. But I also have been asking myself is it really worth it to have both or just one? Here are some reasons that make each pretty valuable or a nuisance:

1. Hulu is CHEAPER!

Hulu is $7.99 versus Netflix's $10.99+.

2. Hulu gives you the option to add in the live tv plan.

For $39.99 a month you can have the live tv package, which is still cheaper than most cable companies.

3.  Netflix has no commercials. 

You can add that option to your Hulu subscription but it'll cost you extra money.

4.  Netflix streams world wide!

You can watch Netflix wherever you travel while Hulu is only offered in the United States, US territories and Japan.

5. Hulu adds new episodes within days after they air!

If you are addicted to Bachelor In Paradise like me but do not have cable, Hulu will have the latest episode the day after it airs!

6. Netflix has way more movie options.

Hulu has some movie options but they mostly focus on tv while Netflix has a plethora of movies both new and old.

7.  Hulu is a little more tricky to use.

Netflix breaks everything up into a bunch of categories and lets you know when new episodes are available. Hulu just gives you 'keep watching', 'kids', 'tv' and 'movies' categories and does NOT tell you when there are new episodes.

8.  Netflix doesn't add a new season until a week after the next one airs.

It's great that you can binge-watch an entire season BUT you will be waiting a while to watch the next one.

9. Shows Netflix has gotten rid of, Hulu has.

Some of your favorites like One Tree Hill, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Seinfeld, etc are all currently streaming on Hulu while Netflix ditched them a while ago.

10. Netflix has way more users.

Netflix has 30 million users to Hulu's three million, so that probably speaks for itself.

So which one is better? Well they both have many pros and cons so I would say just splurge and get both. BUT if you can only choose one at this time Netflix still might be the dominant option.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
