One gets the experience that new streaming services and internet-based cinemas are advertised nearly every day.

There are lots of services ever since it is not easy to simply register for everything - this threatens an opening while in the budget. So you must choose.

"Kinopoisk HD"

Just how much does a regular membership cost:

"KinoPoisk HD" - 269 ₽ every month,
"KinoPoisk + Amediateka" - 649 rubles
Yandex.Plus, which provides use of KinoPoisk - 169 rubles.
What the heck is in the subscription:

The sheer numbers 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 turn into home cinema - you will find a large collection of films and TV series, and what is not part of the subscription is available or rented. Those that do not want to buy films at a high price can find promotional codes (there may be a few of them) and get several films to get a ruble. The DeepDive function (recognition of actors and characters inside frame) is useful.

Choosing voice acting and the presence of subtitles is a definite plus. "KinoPoisk" also cooperates with the studios "Cubic in Cuba", "Courage Bambey" with Syenduk. On account of the service, less than sometime ago, https://e-tard.tv/ (e-tard.tv) I completely switched to watching films in the first language, if possible.

"Amediateka"

The amount of does to sign up cost:

Month - 599 ₽
3 months - 1499₽
Half a year - 2699 rubles
Year - 4999₽
To join provides access to almost all content except a couple of TVOD titles.
What's part of the subscription:

The service features hundreds of TV series, along with films, most of which are exclusive documentaries you will be unable to enjoy anywhere else.

The flagship projects of "Amediateka" will be the premiere series of the principle foreign studios, which are freed simultaneously with the entire world: hits from HBO, Showtime / CBS, Starz / Lionsgate, BBC, Sky so on. "Keepers", "Dark Principles", "Why Women Kill", "Catherine the Great" - this all arrived on the scene for the service in the fall. Plus, proven hits are available: "Bet on Thrones", "Sex plus the City", "Wiretapping", "Chernobyl ".

Overall impression:

Large selection, many high-profile premieres - with the last I considered the Amediatek "Chernobyl", "Why Women Kill" and "Euphoria&rdquo ;.Conveniently, efficiently - everything will do in my opinion, I have never had any complaints.

Okko

The amount of does to join cost:

Okko has 11 different subscriptions with respect to the style of content, like Movies and TV Shows, Best Cartoons, Amediateka. They cost from 99 to 599 rubles per month. Yet it's better to observe the subscription packages: "Optium" costs 399 rubles monthly, "Premium" - 799 rubles.

What the heck is as part of the subscription:

Optium includes eight separate subscriptions - 20,000 films and TV series, but without Amediateka. Flagship TV shows of HBO and various other studios, timeless TV shows like LOST and Clinic, quality films (although not the newest ones) - all this is obtainable with one of the subscriptions. Probably the main plus is that every content articles are conveniently broken into various collections.

Unfortunately, even the Premium package won't provide access to the entire library. Digital releases quickly show up in Okko, but you only pay for them. Some "Avengers: Endgame" - for extra money, "Mad Men" - a couple of hundred on top. Movies and TV shows could be rented as an alternative to bought.

Overall impression:

Okko provides a lot of interesting content and I liked the division into thematic collections. As when the task of choosing a string with the evening becomes easier. Yes, new items have to be bought, but with time they get on the subscription. You recognize, Netflix also doesn't need movies right following the cinemas. But the service has one notable drawback: understand what sign up to the Amediateki package, then a large layer of high-quality serials disappears. Okko has many films, but Amediateka is very much responsible for the series. Which isn't within the "Optium" subscription.
