CuriosityStream Plans & Features

CuriosityStream Plans & features reviewnnnnnnnLooking for nonfictional documentaries & web series, none but CuriosityStream have it. However, there are so many Video On Demand services available, but Curiosity Stream is the only streaming service delivering nonfictional content exclusively. Although, it is not as popular as other streaming players like Netflix, Amazon Prime Videos, FuboTV, SlingTV, Hotstar and Philo TV. But there are subscribers who prefer CuriosityStream over other OTT apps. You will know the reasons ahead.nLet me tell you What exactly is CuriosityStream App?nCuriosityStream is a Video on Demand service launched in 2015 by Discovery Channel founder John S. Hendricks. It delivers non-fictional documentaries and web series in Lifestyle, Society, Nature Technology, History, Science and Kids niche. In other words, you can access content similar to the Discovery channel on Curiosity stream.nnAs of Apr 2020, It has a library of thousands of documentaries, web series, licensed titles & originals. However, It does not offer any live TV channel like other OTT apps.nCuriosityStream subscription PlansnOne of the best parts of CuriosityStream is its subscription plans. It has the same plan price across the world. If you have subscribed to it in the USA & travel to another country, your subscription plan will remain active. In the case of other streaming services, subscription plans are Geo-restricted and remain active only in one country.nCuriosityStream has two subscription plans.nn4K annual SubscriptionnHD Annual SubscriptionnnThe details of both plans with features are given below.nIt is clear from the table that the only difference between both plans is video quality. The first plan delivers content in High Definition (HD) while the second plans offer the documentaries and originals in Ultra High Definition (UHD).nHowever, not all the content available on the CuriosityStream 4K plan will be in UHD. It will depend on your internet connectivity, device compatibility and content availability in UHD.nBoth plans have a free trial of 07 days to test its features and content quality. You will not be charged during the free trial period. The subscriber can cancel the subscription plan at any time. However, there is no option of refund after 07 days of subscription.nCuriosityStream has also tied up with other Video on Demand service providers. It can be accessed on Amazon Prime Video, layer3TV, Sling TV and Comcast/Xfinity. Its package is available as an add-on and you can subscribe to it by paying add-on fees in the above streaming services.nThough, subscribing it as an add-on is costlier as compared to the plans offered by it.nCuriosityStream deals & CouponnAs of now, there is only one subscription deal being offered by CuriosityStream.

It covers mainly 7 niches.nnSciencenTechnologynHistorynNaturenSocietynLifestylenKidsnnAll these niches are further subdivided into sub-categories.

This is the only major drawback I found in the CuriosityStream.nCuriosityStream Reviewnnnn 9 Total Scoren nn Value for Money streaming servicenCuriosity stream offers quality service at a reasonable price.

It costs you only $1 per month when you subscribe to an annual HD plan using coupon code. Moreover, all the content is available either in HD or UHD. At this point, there is a win & win situation. I must say CuriosityStream really worth it.nnBut there is always a scope of improvement. The app is available worldwide. But it has subtitles only in English. Therefore the subtitles should be translated to other popular languages too.nCuriosityStream also needs to upgrade its customer support. There is no dedicated customer care number or live chat feature available now. For customer help, there is only help centre where subscribers can search their question. Subscribers can post their query in the help centre. But it is time consuming and do not resolve issues instantly. However, you can reach out to CuriosityStream through mail Help@curiosityStream.comnAre you an existing subscriber of it, if yes, How is your experience with CuriosityStream.
