Prune your mix.

More than half of streamers signed up for a service simply to watch one show, a Forbes survey showed. Consider a free account-tracking app such as Rocket Money (rocketmoney.com) or Hiatus (hiatusapp.com) to see your subscriptions, and pick which to keep.

Play to your interests.

If you enjoy live TV, you can use MyBundle.TV to figure out the most cost-effective way to get channels you like. The Reelgood app can help you find the least expensive way to stream.

Purchase one annual plan ...

Most streaming services offer a discount if you pay for a year’s service up front.

… and cycle through the rest.

Streaming services can be purchased by the month; turning them on and off is not at all hard. So pick one platform with a few shows you’re excited about and binge-watch them for the next month or two. Then cancel your subscription.

Credit card combos.

Many credit card issuers offer rewards for money spent on streaming media. The American Express Blue Cash Preferred Card, for example, pays 6 percent cash back on select streaming subscriptions. Capital One’s Savor Rewards card gives 4 percent cash back on eligible streaming services.

Get a bundle from your cellphone provider.

Most T-Mobile subscribers get a free basic Netflix account with their cellphone plan, and multiline subscribers get a standard plan. Some T-Mobile plans also come with free Apple TV+. Some Verizon mobile customers can get free access to the Disney Bundle.

Move down a tier.

Several platforms have levels, letting you pay less for an ad-supported plan or one that supports fewer devices. The ad-supported Netflix plan, for example, costs $6.99 per month, while the premium plan costs $19.99 per month. And Hulu offers an ad-supported plan for $7.99 per month ($79.99 per year) or you can pay $14.99 for ad-free.
