Hulu, one of the OG streaming services, is losing its standalone app. Next year, Disney will fold the service into the Disney+, even if you don't subscribe to the latter.
If you subscribe to Hulu alone, you either pay $9.99 per month (with ads) or $18.99 per month (without ads). However, there are some other subscription options you can choose to make your money go further.
You can also consider one of Hulu's bundles, of which there are many. Disney+ and Hulu, both with ads, costs $10.99, or $1 more per month than the standard Hulu with ads plan. If you want the same bundle but without ads, it costs $19.99, also $1 more than the standalone Hulu without ads plan. There are more bundles that follow this logic that include ESPN or HBO Max, so it comes down to which subscriptions you really want, and what you're willing to pay.
Pay for another member
Hulu is far from the only company doing this, and it's also not the only one with an official (paid) solution: buy an extra member account. If you have someone in your life that doesn't live in your house, but you want them to have access to your account, you can pay to grant them access.
Hulu (with ads): $6.99 per month
Disney+, Hulu Bundle: $7.99 per month
Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle: $11.99 per month
If you don't want to pay for an extra member, there are ways around Hulu's restrictions here, but they aren't totally convenient, and are dependent on the type of device you're watching on.
Other devices, like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, only need to connect the wifi of the household to validate themselves. So, at your earliest convenience, use Hulu on your device at the home of the account holder, and you should be able to use it outside the household without issue.
Make sure you're watching in the best quality possible
Instead, to adjust your video settings, head to your Profile, then choose Settings > Cellular Data Usage. Change the setting from the default “Data Saver” to “Best Available,” which will then let Hulu decide the best quality based on your service. To make sure you download shows and movies in the highest quality possible, go to Settings > Downloads, then make sure “Video Quality” is set to “High.” Of course, this will consume more data, so only adjust these settings if you're okay with that.
To download titles on your device, open the specific episode or movie you want to watch, then tap the "Download" button that appears under the description. To manage your downloaded titles, you can head back to the “Downloads” tab on the main screen. Unwatched downloads are available for 30 days, while titles you've played will be available for 48 hours after beginning them.
Download over cellular
If you plan to download shows and movies on your device, you should make sure you actually can! By default, Hulu doesn’t allow you to download content while using cellular data, in a good-faith effort to prevent you from running over your data plan. But if you have an unlimited data plan, or you’re just good at managing the data you do have, you might want to download your content whenever, wherever. To do so, head to Profile > Settings > Downloads, then make sure that “Cellular Downloading” is set to “On,” rather than the default “Off.”
Disable autoplay so you can enjoy the credits in peace
You know, streaming services, sometimes it’s nice to soak in the credits after a great show or movie. We get a chance to process what just happened, or to appreciate the hundreds of people that worked on that content, rather than jumping immediately into another attention-grabbing episode.
Similarly, I can't stand when I'm checking out the description for a show, and the preview starts playing automatically. Sure, there are times where that could be useful, but most of the time, it's distracting. If I want to see a preview, I'll click on the trailer, thank you very much.
Edit your 'Continue Watching' list
If you started a show or movie but didn't finish it, it'll end up in your "Continue Watching" list. That's convenient when you want to start that title up again in the future, but not so convenient if you have no intention of watching it further.
Pause your subscription
If you're done with Hulu, but not really done, you don't need to cancel your sub entirely. Instead, you can pause payments, so you can take a break, without having to re-enroll in your chosen subscription.
To do so, head to your Hulu account settings on desktop, then choose "PAUSE" next to "Pause Your Subscription."
