Where each one falls short

Audible
- Auto renews monthly and must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current membership period, per the App Store listing
- Renewal is charged at the rate of the selected plan within 24 hours before the end of each membership period, per the App Store listing
fuboTV
- Regional sports networks are priced as an add-on beyond the base plan, so the real monthly cost for a fan following a local team is meaningfully higher than the advertised entry price.
- It is the most expensive of the mainstream live TV bundles at the entry tier, and Philo costs a fraction of the price for anyone who does not need sports.
- Cloud DVR storage has limits on the base plan, and keeping recordings longer or expanding storage costs extra.
- Channel lineups and RSN availability vary significantly by zip code, so the exact price and channel list a household gets is not fully knowable until they check their specific address.
- Price increases have been frequent historically, so the entry price at signup is not a reliable guide to what a subscriber pays a year or two later.
