What streaming costs in Switzerland

The standard monthly plan of 7 services, each read on the service's own site.

The cheapest is Crunchyroll at CHF 8.90 a month and the most expensive HBO Max at CHF 16.90. Prices are in CHF, for the cheapest plan without ads, paid monthly.

Not included: annual plans, student and family prices, bundles, trials and offers. Only plans with ads when the service sells nothing else. Prices change; check with the service before you sign up. Services whose price we have not read on their own site are left out.

Keeping four services or taking them in turn

Netflix (CHF 14.90), Disney+ (CHF 16.90), HBO Max (CHF 16.90) and Apple TV+ (CHF 10.90) cost CHF 59.60 a month together. Over 8 months that is CHF 476.80.

If what you want to watch on each fits in 2 months, subscribing to one at a time and cancelling before the next costs CHF 119.20 over the same 8 months. Whether it fits depends on your own list; the Binge Boss planner works it out from the shows and films you add.
