Two of India&#8217;s largest streaming offerings in <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8136266686\/about\">Hotstar<\/a> (owned by Disney) and <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8180808268\/about\">ZEE5<\/a> made the cut, as well as two offerings out of China in <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8180808223\/about\">WeTV<\/a> (owned by Tencent) and <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8180808219\/about\">iQIYI<\/a> (owned by Baidu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides these big name players, what stands out to me most is the performance of <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080652099\/about\">Pluto TV<\/a> (owned by Viacom) and <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8082070286\/about\">Tubi<\/a> (owned by Fox). Most well known apps are based on subscription revenue. These are the only two offerings on this top list to be supported solely by advertising revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year-to-date, 2021 is the strongest year for US subscription streaming app downloads with 216 million across the top 25 apps, a 29% increase year-over-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large apptopia__blog--img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs-1024x749.webp\" alt=\"subscription streaming app downloads\" class=\"wp-image-985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs-1024x749.webp 1024w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs-300x219.webp 300w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs-768x562.webp 768w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs-1536x1123.webp 1536w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subscription-streaming-DLs.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with all these new players and heavy investment from large media corporations, Netflix is still the market leader in viewers&#8217; eyes. So much so that &#8220;Netflix&#8221; is a top 10 keyword used in the user reviews of all of Netflix&#8217;s top competitors. The reviews mentioning \u201cNetflix\u201d range widely in their sentiment for the respective apps, but the point is that every streaming service is constantly being compared to Netflix by its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past quarter, the top 25 TV Network apps (<a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080874067\/about\">TLC GO<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080117442\/about\">Watch TBS<\/a>, etc.) saw their first year-over-year growth since 2016, but they&#8217;ve been on the decline when it comes to attracting new users, as the number of &#8216;cord-cutters&#8217; continues to grow. Additionally, several traditional cable networks have launched subscription streaming apps, leaving their respective TV Network apps to see their usage fall significantly as viewers are directed toward the subscription option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To uncover more insights on streaming video apps, download our full report by clicking the button here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-horizontal is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5f0daa91 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f1f6ff;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3f89ff;font-size:20px\">Recommended for you next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-border-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.apptopia.com\/cs\/c\/?cta_guid=20a2e2e5-653e-4b55-b7b3-a6f343f16ef6&amp;signature=AAH58kFyb7H0Hk36IbOPbd1KM6etcmaQ8Q&amp;pageId=58245730139&amp;placement_guid=3f67185a-97e5-44a7-a79b-6dc59e464bcd&amp;click=e0503a32-c4ed-4f80-b091-d4f43baad935&amp;hsutk=408d291b8749b1ba907eae97ceb5c47c&amp;canon=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.apptopia.com%2Fbenchmarking-the-streaming-video-entertainment-landscape&amp;portal_id=2045506&amp;redirect_url=APefjpEdXa1sCjoSpJ7kzdtRWNwBa8vvQClMsFzELQXq90NMsdEFAUBDjRLO6v3UQgI_uwJXAYOWTRPqRC0Or_DhADmHOcTRq17KSAs9rAFnAJFZDEe0LDfPXM7c1AoCDl7a-11yTEJaTnsQH3w4qAicm7kVPOAe2ECyC8ztMvsKmHYfKyFkP5a3holVetDMF-Qu3vIAcew1jHPiuVunHwqejvJUhKyrc4NexzgL0WXahqdAAeuGEfhrkRiqD4MLeleTvPNLSQ0_6bXOOErK8VgiMFMimE4NfBFDd-at5aYkBhYEEHyQN6E&amp;__hstc=93377474.408d291b8749b1ba907eae97ceb5c47c.1694102034501.1696658872991.1696668730188.31&amp;__hssc=93377474.20.1696668730188&amp;__hsfp=3236417962&amp;contentType=site-page\" style=\"border-color:#3f89ff;border-width:1px;border-radius:5px;color:#3f89ff;background-color:#f1f6ff\">Streaming Report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s more streaming video options for entertainment than ever before but which companies are seeing success and why?
