Don't Remove Prime Video, Netflix, or any of these other streaming services this July!

It's hot outside and many of you have children on summer vacation. Fortunately, TV is good for the public this month, especially if you're a fan of cult favorite series.

Netflix releases Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Sweet Home, Cobra Kai and Élite, while Disney Plus has Descendants and the rest of the Blues lined up. And if you liked Ugly Betty, you might be interested in Prime Video's Betty the Fairy, the sequel to the original Colombian version of the show. 

In live sports, the Olympics touch the peacock, but don't forget about this month's price increase. While I usually share monthly tips on which streamers to keep or ditch, I also want to point out that if you can save money on a new streaming package, go for it. However, some services are worth giving up due to price and content availability. With that in mind, I'll share a strategy: charge like ice cream. 

Take responsibility for your streaming time and costs by subscribing, canceling, switching to other services, and then subscribing again. Here's how you make sure the platforms you want are spinning. Revolving streaming services can mix things up and save you money if Netflix, Hulu, Max, and others don't have the content you want to watch at a given time. 

(Remember to turn off auto-renew for your monthly subscriptions.)

 This method might not work if you share your streaming account, but if you can figure it out, go for it. Below are my recommendations on which platforms to keep or cancel for July based on new shows and movies coming to each platform. Although I didn't include TV streaming services or niche platforms like Crunchyroll, there are many anime series coming this summer. 

Your preferences may differ, but if nothing else, I suggest you accept the volatility of savings. It's easier than you might think, and don't forget that a VPN can be useful too.

Apple Music vs. Spotify: Guess Who's in the drivers seat now!

Apple likes to wow the public with the progress of its music service, but it might be Spotify that really deserves your slow clap.  Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple boasted at an iPhone 7 launch event on Wednesday that its subscription streaming service Apple Music has amassed 17 million paying members since its launch in June 2015. 2 million were added in less than three months . That's encouraging growth, but a quick count shows that Apple and Spotify are adding subscribers at about the same rate. And thanks to a big lead, Spotify beats Apple in terms of volume. The figures confirm that more consumers are choosing to stream music at a buffet instead of buying songs a la carte. This is partly due to the strong marketing that Apple has put into its on-demand music service.  The numbers also offer a new perspective on the horse race between the two companies that has unraveled this year.. Spotify and Apple have both updated their subscriber numbers in the past two weeks, and both ...
