Walmart to Introduce Its Own Streaming Service, Could Cost Less than $8/mo

Jul. 19, 2018

When you talk about online media streaming, the biggest names have got to be Netflix or Amazon Prime. However, it seems like there could be a new entrant in town – one that could give competition to the current top dogs.

Walmart is one of the biggest names in online as well as offline retail chains. However, recent reports suggest that Walmart might be taking on some of the biggest names in video streaming with a service of its own, with a price that could be quite lower than its competition.

As reported byThe Information,Walmart is working on its own video streaming platform. What’s interesting is that Walmart would be offering its service for free with ads, along with anad-free premium version that would cost just $8 a month.

Netflix currently charges users $8 for a single screen at Standard Quality and you are required to pay an extra $8 to access the full digital library. Amazon Prime, on the other hand, charges you $8.25 per month but requires you to pay a full payment of $99 annually. As such,Walmart’s video streaming service could actually provide its consumers a cost-effective streaming service. What remains to be seen is what content would the service be actually able to host.

This isn’t an interview! Why am I being asked to tell you about myself? :P Well, if you really wanna know, I’m currently trending worldwide on #BeingMirchi. Buy me a beer if you like my work. Cheers!
