Crackle
Steamers looking for a broad movie and television service that’s technically free but still jam-packed with recognizable, big-name titles may want to start with Crackle. The ad-supported service reportedly offers around a thousand movies and more than 70 television series, though its movie selection overall is noticeably stronger. Realistically, the majority of the films on offer at Crackle won’t rival those at HBO or Netflix in terms of quality, but hey, where else can you watch Mega Piranha and Mega Shark Versus Kolossus for free?
On the television side of things, Crackle users can stream U.K. sensation Sherlock, the original 21 Jump Street, and a wide variety of other shows ranging from the relatively recent to older entities viewers might have missed.
Cost: Free with ads.
