We compare Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime Video. Which one is best for you?

Amazon Prime Video finally arrived on iOS and Spain. Amazon's audiovisual streaming system definitely wants to compete with Netflix and HBO in Spanish territory, despite the fact that statistics say that none of these three is the King of on-demand content in the Iberian country, with Movistar + taking the cake, followed by WuakiTV. Definitely, we are going to make a comparison on all the details of Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and HBO so that you can decide which of them suits you best and what they offer that make them different from the rest. Don't miss our comparison.

We go there with the three main characteristics that should make you think if you get one service or another, we have selected three categories: Price, catalog and quality of the application for the Apple environment.

The price, the cornerstone

We start with Netflix, the world leader in streaming content on demand lets us choose between three subscription plans based on our needs, the number of users and the quality of the broadcast. Thus, Netflix is the one that allows us a greater price catalog to choose from.

One user in SD quality: € 7,99
Two simultaneous users HD quality: € 7,99
Four simultaneous users in 4K quality: € 11,99

On the other hand we have HBO, which stagnates at a price € 7,99 fixed to offer us all its content in the catalog, a price that is not bad at all, but that will not allow us to choose 4K resolutions as if Netflix does. For the most demanding users it can be a disadvantage.

Last we have Amazon Prime Video, we remember that it is a service that is included in the Amazon Premium Package, which it offers us for only € 20 a year all this:

Shipping in 1 day for free.
Deliveries on launch day.
Special content on Twitch.
Unlimited cloud photo storage.
Priority access to BuyVIP sales

Catalog and original production

Here it will depend a little more on the consumer's taste, on the one hand we will have Netflix, which has left us true masterpieces such as Stranger Things, and keeps others like Orange Is The New Black or House of Cards. On the other hand, the content in cinema is very extensive and is updated almost weekly, so it is difficult for us not to find something that we are passionate about on a Netflix afternoon.

Let's go to HBO, series of international draft and recognized fame as Game of Thrones The Sopranos, The Wire, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire, Six Feet Under, Silicon Valley, Brothers of Blood, The Pacific, The Newsroom, Carnivale and The Entourage. There is no doubt that the HBO catalog is spectacular, however, in terms of other types of content it can seriously falter.

Lastly, Amazon Prime Video, We will find a fairly reduced catalog and that for now it is in English almost entirely. Although we can switch to Spanish, it will be superimposed on English. Of course, we find our own content on Amazon Prime Video such as The Grand Tour, which is the new version of Top Gear, and others like The Man In The High Castle o Transparent. The reality is that Amazon's original productions are not leaving anyone indifferent.

User interface and application quality

Here we have an undisputed leader, and is that Netflix He's been into this streaming thing for too long for anyone to eat his toast in certain areas. We find a great interface, easy to use and a search engine that many would like. In addition, Netflix user accounts will allow us to share an account but not content, accompanied by an intuitive system to change the quality, the language and even create preferences. Without a doubt, this point is definitely taken by Netflix. We find an application for both iOS and Apple TV, and in the browser it works great.

We pass to HBO, which also has a really good interface. Available on iOS and Apple TV, as well as other platforms, however, it is not up to Netflix but above others such as Movistar + or Wuaki TV.

And finally Amazon Prime Video, the iOS application is quite good, but at least for now in Spain it lacks an application for Apple TV. The content is difficult to modify, although the search engine is not bad at all. A fair interface, easy but lack of configuration.
