Prepared by the Banbosh Studio editors with AI from the comparison's data; first published 14 October 2026. Facts checked on 14 October 2026 against the 5 sources listed at the end. Text last updated 14 October 2026.

Four screens of different sizes, one orange and one blue

The short answer

You watch alone on one screen: start with the lowest plan, for example Oneplay Komfort (CZK 199 a month incl. VAT) or Netflix Basic (CZK 259 a month incl. VAT). You watch with others: pick a plan with two streams (Netflix Standard, HBO Max Standard or SkyShowtime Standard) and pay only for the months when you actually watch.

  • Catalogue content is not in our data: whether a service has the title you want, you find out in its catalogue before paying.
  • Prices and parameters come from the services' Czech price lists on the check day stated with the sources.

What do you get for the price difference?

By the price lists the plans differ mainly in the number of simultaneous streams and picture quality.

  • Netflix: Basic 720p and one stream, Standard Full HD and two streams, Premium 4K with HDR and four streams.
  • HBO Max: Standard Full HD and two streams, live broadcasts and replays may carry ads; Premium 4K with Dolby Atmos (where available) and four streams.
  • SkyShowtime: Standard Full HD and two streams without ads, Premium 4K with Dolby Atmos and five streams.
  • Oneplay: packages differ in the number of TV channels and sport; Komfort has one device, three devices need the Family Viewing add-on.

Does yearly billing pay off?

HBO Max offers a yearly payment that costs less than twelve monthly payments: the Standard plan costs 2,590 CZK a year (price list checked 14 Oct 2026).

Outside these four services Disney+ Standard (CZK 219 a month incl. VAT) also has a yearly plan and an introductory price for six months. Netflix, SkyShowtime and Oneplay have no yearly plan in our data; with them it pays to pay only for the months you really watch.

How to rotate services so you do not pay needlessly?

The cheapest routine is to pay for a service only in the month when you watch a series or a season in it, then cancel.

Before cancelling, check in the service's terms until when the paid period runs and whether the subscription renews by itself.

Plans at today's price

Who it is for

  • You choose a first or second streaming service.
  • You pay for several services and look for one to cancel.
  • Two or more of you watch and the number of screens matters.

Watch out for

  • A trial turns into a paid plan: at Oneplay the seven-day trial becomes Komfort by the price list.
  • A launch offer lasts a limited time; at Disney+ it is six months, then the regular price returns.
  • The difference between plans is mostly the number of screens, picture quality and ads, not the catalogue.
  • The title you subscribe for can leave the catalogue; check it before paying.

How we compared

  • A plan's price is its monthly price with VAT, the same as on the plan's card and detail; where the provider lists a price before tax, your country's VAT is added.
  • Monthly and yearly billing are shown apart; the yearly cost is 12 × the monthly price, for yearly billing 12 × the monthly price when paid yearly.
  • Student, business and promotional plans are labelled and left out of the cheapest-first overviews.
  • A price in a foreign currency is converted at the ČNB rate; the rate date stands at the chart, the price-list check date at each plan.
  • Plan contents and limits come from the providers' official price lists; the charts show only the services the article compares.
