YouTube TV vs. Hulu Live vs. StreamVexa: The Cost Comparison

It happened again. YouTube TV just hiked their price.

What started as a "$35/month" cable killer is now $72.99 + tax. Hulu Live TV is $76.99. They are slowly becoming exactly what they promised to destroy: Cable 2.0.

If you are tired of price hikes, there is a better way.

In this guide, we compare the giant (YouTube TV) against the premium challenger (StreamVexa IPTV) to see who offers the best value.

Round 1: The Price

This is the knockout round.

YouTube TV: $72.99/mo (+ $10 for 4K Plus addon) = ~$85/mo.
Hulu Live TV: $76.99/mo (With ads!).
StreamVexa: $14.99/mo.

Winner: StreamVexa. You save over $800 per year. That is a new iPhone every single year, just by switching TV providers.

Round 2: The Channels

YouTube TV: ~100 Channels. Mostly local US networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) and basic cable (ESPN, CNN).
StreamVexa: 15,000+ Channels.
- Yes, we have all the US locals (ABC, CBS, NBC).
- PLUS: UK (Sky Sports), Canada (Sportsnet), Latino, and International.
- PLUS: 24/7 Channels (Family Guy, Seinfeld 24/7).

Winner: StreamVexa (Quantity and Variety).

Round 3: Sports & PPV

This is where StreamVexa truly shines.

YouTube TV:

NFL Sunday Ticket? Pay extra ($300+).
NBA League Pass? Pay extra.
UFC Pay-Per-View? Pay $80 per fight.

StreamVexa:

NFL Sunday Ticket: Included.
NBA League Pass: Included.
UFC / Boxing PPVs: Included.

Winner: StreamVexa. The value of including PPVs alone is worth hundreds of dollars.

Round 4: Reliability (The Honest Truth)

We have to give credit where it is due.

YouTube TV: Owned by Google. 99.99% uptime. It basically never buffers.
StreamVexa: 99% uptime. Occasionally, during a massive event like the Super Bowl, you might need to switch servers or toggle a VPN if your internet acts up.

Winner: YouTube TV. Corporate servers are unbeatable for perfection. But ask yourself: Is that 0.99% difference worth paying 7x more money?

Conclusion: The "Cord Cutter's" Choice

If you want the absolute easiest, "set it and forget it" experience and don't care about money, stick with YouTube TV.

But if you want to:

Save $800+ per year.
Watch every NFL & NBA game without blackouts.
Get free PPV Fights.

Then the choice is obvious.

Stop feeding the corporate giants.
