Prime Video, Netflix, Canal+, Disney+… What is the best streaming platform in April 2024?

Like a well-oiled gear, the different streaming platforms offer an arrival of films and series every month in their respective catalogs. But between the new features and the evolution of prices, it is not always easy for subscribers to navigate.

The Digitals is therefore here to help you see things more clearly, and publishes a monthly comparison of the main streaming services. A perspective that should allow you to choose the platform that you need.

Comparison: which streaming platform to choose in April 2024?

Free of the month: Arte.tv

Arte is a famous representative of the French audiovisual landscape, but few people have the reflex to go to the Arte.tv platform, where the Franco-German channel unfolds its full potential.

Fiction, documentaries, reports, series, short films, concerts… The Arte.tv catalog constantly offers hundreds of quality programs available for several months.

Recently, Arte.tv offered an international and curious selection, with the Hong Kong trilogy Infernal Affairs, Tony Erdmann with Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a fall), the nugget Marius and Jeannette, Deception with Léa Seydoux or the great series No Man’s Land, Life on Mars And Charity.

4th place: Disney+

She will definitely never be able to get out of this 4th place. However, Disney’s streaming platform is doing a little better this time than in previous months, when it offered a poor catalog.

In April, Disney+ users will be entitled to a Marvel blockbuster (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), an amazing animated series (Iwájú), an excellent gastronomic thriller (The menu) and a handful of documentaries. Nothing transcendent of course, but enough to justify the subscription.

To recap, Disney+ in April is:

• 4 films
• 7 series
• 5 documentaries
• The Marvel Movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
• The animated series Iwájú
• The film The menu with Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult

2nd place ex aequo : Netflix

Stupor: after racing against the competition at the start of the year (notably thanks to the series Avatar: The Last Airbender And The 3-body problem), the streaming giant is slowing down and snatches a second place ex aequo in April. The fault lies with a lighter catalog in terms of new releases.

Netflix subscribers will have plenty to do this month, with the horror series Parasyte: The Gray (adapted from the eponymous manga) and the second part of the Rebel Moon by Zack Snyder. A new French production will also arrive at the end of April: Fiasco, for fans of the Pierre Niney and François Civil gang, and plenty of absurd humor. Sprinkle everything with sure values ​​(the series Sherlock, The Godfather), and we have something to find happiness.

To recap, Netflix in April is:

• 24 movies
• 29 series
• 7 documentaries
• Series Parasyte: The Gray
• Series Fiasco with Pierre Niney and François Civil
• Rebel Moon: Part 2by Zack Snyder

2nd place ex aequo : Canal+

The only French streaming platform is still far from making the figure in April. Canal+ (and its myCanal platform) continues its nice start to the year with the arrival of the last major films of 2023, including Killers of the Flower Moon by Martin Scorsese.

The encrypted channel can also always count on the quality of Apple TV+ content, including Sugar with Colin Farrell and Franklin with Michael Douglas. Be careful, however, not to be too dependent on these prestigious productions, which often compensate for a light catalog. In April, we are also curious to discover the humorous sitcom Terminal produced by Jamel Debbouzze.

To recap, Canal+ in April is:

• +7 series
• +12 movies
• +2 documentaries
• Killers of the Flower Moon by Martin Scorsese
• Series Sugar from Apple TV+
• Series Terminal by Jamel

1st place: Amazon Prime Video

And the best streaming platform for the month of April is… Prime Video! Amazon’s service takes back Netflix’s crown thanks to the event series of the month: the video game adaptation fallout.

In addition to this ambitious and anticipated program, which will arrive in full on April 11, we can’t wait to see the HBO series The Sympathizer with Robert Downey. Prime Video also boasts a massive influx of acquisitions (67 films!). In the lot, we are pleased to find the Jason Bourne franchise and the cult series Stargate SG-1.

Be careful, this pretty picture is spoiled by a small downside: the arrival of advertising on the service from Monday April 9. You will have to pay €1.99 to avoid it.

To recap, Prime Video in April is:

• 67 movies
• 9 series
• 2 documentaries
• Series fallout
• The Jason Bourne saga
• The HBO series The Sympathizer
