There's Netflix, and then there's Hulu. Which is better for you? That's why we made a Netflix vs. Hulu comparison. It's not just about what's offered. It's also about where you live. Oh, and we have a solution for that "where you live problem" at the end.
It's available in almost every single country on this planet, with over 190 countries supported. Hulu doesn't offer near enough to that, in fact, Hulu provides their service in at least 189 nations less as it's available in the United States only.
And for many, that's a major deal, as the chances are that you do not live in the United States.
When it comes to Netflix vs. Hulu, availability matters, Netflix demolishes Hulu in it.
There is a way to access Hulu outsides of the United States, and we will talk about it later, as otherwise, Netflix vs. Hulu doesn't make sense as most of you will be using only Netflix as you can't use anything else.
Netflix is available in theory, but in reality, you are getting much less content almost anywhere outside of the United States. And that sucks, as sometimes that's around half less content available depending on where you are.
For instance, the United States has 4339 movies available on Netflix. Sweden has only 1738. That's still a lot, but perhaps you are missing out on a movie you really want to watch due to this.
This happens due to the fact Netflix don't have licenses to show everything worldwide. Frankly, it costs a lot. A great way they tackled that problem was via making their own shows and movies that are available worldwide.
You aren't always at a loss though as certain shows and movies are available in certain countries but not in the United States.
When it comes to content available for an audience in terms of Netflix vs. Hulu, while Netflix is available almost everywhere, the content isn't, and even though Hulu is available in just one country, it is the winner when it comes to that.
Luckily, it's also possible to make American or whatever Netflix work in your country. That will also be below.
It depends on what you are into.
If you love movies, the winner of Netflix vs. Hulu is clearly Netflix. If you want to be up to date with your favorite shows though, Hulu it is. It will keep you updated almost right away. With Netflix? You often have to wait until a season of a show is over, if it ever even will be available.
To use Netflix outside of America, you need to make Netflix think that you are there. How? By using a VPN.
A VPN is a virtual private network that allows you to be anywhere in the world without being there when it comes to the internet provided you connect to the right server.
With PrivateVPN, when it comes to American Netflix, use USA - Buffalo or USA - New York 1.
If you use the wrong servers, Netflix won't work for you as it's constantly working on preventing VPN services from working due to the pressure they are getting from companies that give them licenses for shows and movies.
It's pretty simple to make an account. Press the Buy button, go through our 30-second registration, download our client, connect to the right server.
We offer great value as our service costs only $3.88 per month on a yearly deal. And perhaps that's why we have been chosen as the best service when it comes to value by BestVPN.
If you want to connect to a Netflix in a different country, you should also check out our full guide to using Netflix!
When it comes to Netflix vs. Hulu as far as tricking these services into thinking you are in America, Hulu is the winner. It's a nightmare. That's why you should read our guide about using Hulu as there are just too many things to do to mention it here.
The main problem with Hulu is that you need to have an American card for registration, in the guide we mention a few tricks, but ultimately, without one, you have no hope of ever using it.
It depends on what you want. TV shows right away? Hulu. Netflix original shows? Netflix, obviously. Movies? Netflix. Accessibility? Netflix.
