We compare online cinemas by subscription cost, convenience, library, exclusives.

One gets the sense that new streaming services and internet-based cinemas are appearing just about every day.

There are various services since it has stopped being easy to simply subscribe to everything - this threatens an opening within the budget. So it's important to choose.

"Kinopoisk HD"

What amount does a regular membership cost:

"KinoPoisk HD" - 269 ₽ per 30 days,
"KinoPoisk + Amediateka" - 649 rubles
Yandex.Plus, that gives usage of KinoPoisk - 169 rubles.
What's as part of the subscription:

The volume of available films is different from the package: "KinoPoisk HD" - over 6.8 thousand films and series, "Yandex.Plus" - 6 thousand, "KinoPoisk + Amediateka" - 7.2 thousand. Exclusives include Dylda, Watchman, DC Universe TV series, including Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Batwoman and Pennyworth, Miracle Workers, Castle Rock, Shameless, Nancy Drew "," Extreme Space "," Rick and Morty "," South Park &rdquo ;.Subscriptions include Nat Geo + (documentaries and programs), Fox Now and ViP Play, Bet on Thrones, The Walking Dead and House Doctor. Additionally you can watch the cult series: "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "Office" and "Clinic ".

Overall impression:

For me, "KinoPoisk" has long be a home cinema - we have a large bunch of films and TV series, and what's not as part of the subscription can be bought or rented. Those that shouldn't buy films at top dollar can discover promotional codes (there will be a number of them) and https://e-tard.tv/ - e-tard.tv - buy several films for just a ruble. The DeepDive function (recognition of actors and characters from the frame) is useful.

The option of voice acting and the use of subtitles is an absolute plus. "KinoPoisk" also cooperates while using the studios "Cubic in Cuba", "Courage Bambey" along with Syenduk. Thanks to the service, low number of way back when, I completely switched to watching films in the initial language, if possible.

"Amediateka"

The amount does a regular membership cost:

Month - 599 ₽
3 months - 1499₽
Half a year - 2699 rubles
Year - 4999₽
A subscription offers you access to almost all content except for a couple TVOD titles.
What is included in the subscription:

The service features many hundreds of TV series, along with films, many of which are exclusive documentaries which you won't be able to observe anywhere else.

The flagship projects of "Amediateka" will be the premiere series of the primary foreign studios, which are discharged simultaneously with the entire world: hits from HBO, Showtime / CBS, Starz / Lionsgate, BBC, Sky and for that reason on. "Keepers", "Dark Principles", "Why Women Kill", "Catherine the Great" - all of this turned out on the service inside fall. Plus, proven hits are available: "Bet on Thrones", "Sex along with the City", "Wiretapping", "Chernobyl ".

Overall impression:

Large selection, many high-profile premieres - in the last I considered the Amediatek "Chernobyl", "Why Women Kill" and "Euphoria&rdquo ;.Conveniently, efficiently - everything is enough for me, I have not had any complaints.

Okko

The amount does a regular membership cost:

Okko has 11 different subscriptions with respect to the form of content, like Movies and TV Shows, Best Cartoons, Amediateka. They cost from 99 to 599 rubles per month. But it is far better to take note of the subscription packages: "Optium" costs 399 rubles every month, "Premium" - 799 rubles.

Precisely what is included in the subscription:

Optium includes eight separate subscriptions - 20,000 films and TV series, but without Amediateka. Flagship TV shows of HBO and another studios, timeless TV shows like LOST and Clinic, quality films (although not up to date ones) - all this can be acquired with one of the subscriptions. Probably the main plus is that each one content is conveniently broken into various collections.

Unfortunately, even Premium package would not provide accessibility entire library. Digital releases quickly can be purchased in Okko, but you make payment for for them. Some "Avengers: Endgame" - with regard to added money, "Mad Men" - some hundred more about top. Movies and TV shows could be rented instead of bought.

Overall impression:

Okko provides many interesting content and I liked the division into thematic collections. As when the task of choosing a sequence for your evening becomes easier. Yes, new items ought to be bought, but over time they still get in the subscription. You understand, Netflix also doesn't always have movies right once the cinemas. However the service has one notable drawback: understand what subscribe to the Amediateki package, after that large layer of high-quality serials disappears. Okko has many films, but Amediateka looks like it's the cause of the series. Which is not as part of the "Optium" subscription.
