Cable television keeps losing ground to streaming services, and this is only natural since the streaming service is a lot more convenient for our hectic life.

Costa Rica has not been the exception and every day this option wins more and more adepts as more options become available in the country.

Amazon Video, Netflix, HBO Go, Fox Play, Crackle and Crunchyroll are now available in the country for users to pick their favorite or use as many as they want.

Netflix continues to be without a doubt the most popular service in Costa Rica, with a subscription price that ranges from $8 to $12 a month and can be enjoyed in different platforms.

Amazon Prime Video entered the Costa Rican market in December of last year as the main competitor to the Netflix service. The Amazon Prime Video offers new original series and award-winning Amazon Original Series, the problem is that many of the most popular shows are not available for view in Costa Rica due to rights issues. The monthly cost is of $7.00.

HBO Go announced the availability of the service in Costa Rica just this past June with a subscription cost of $10.00; the HBO series are known to have a great following in the country so this option should have a good acceptance by the users.

Fox Play came into the market with some of the shows that Netflix lost the rights to air, such as “How I Met your Mother”, “Prison Break “ and “Modern Family”; in order to enjoy this service users must have a cable subscription.
To use the Crackle service users must have a subscription with Tigo cable company; however, their offering is limited and not really worth it in comparison to other alternatives.

Crunchyroll is directed to the fans of animé, it presents some of the popular series in this gender such as Dragon Ball Super and Boku no Hero Academy. The cost is of only $5.00 a month.

You can also enjoy Funny or Die for free, this platform is mostly dedicated to comedy sketches and has the participation of renowned personalities like Charlie Sheen and Steve Carell.
