VERDICT

Should I use Crave | Watch HBO and STARZ Movies and TV Shows Online?

Not disclosed - crave.ca

Depends. Buy it if you are a Canadian household that wants HBO and STARZ in one ~$13/month subscription. Skip it if you are outside Canada, already pay for HBO elsewhere, or mistook this for a business tool.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~35 public sources; most search results were SEO spam pages, leaving few substantive reviews. Confidence low.
