Netflix lands on Depends, and Tubi lands on Worth it.
Buy for your household if you want originals like 'Squid Game' and can live with the $6.99 ad tier; skip if you only watch titles on rival services.
Use it if you want free, legal streaming and can tolerate ads . 110M monthly users and a 4.9/5 Play Store rating back it up.

| Verdict | Depends | Worth it |
| Best for | Binge-watchers of Netflix originals | Budget cord-cutters |
| Who it's not for | Anyone evaluating business software . this is consumer TV, full stop | Ad-haters . ads are mandatory with no removal option |
| Privacy | Mature platform with a public security page, but hit by a 2024 leak of unaired episodes and ongoing credential-phishing campaigns targeting its 275M+ users.⁶ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | No support evidence in sources | 2.2/5 Trustpilot; service complaints reported |
| Public sentiment | Public sources reviewed are mostly listings and news; substantive verbatim user sentiment was too thin to quote. | App-store users rate it 4.9/5 and Reddit fans rave, while Trustpilot and PissedConsumer reviewers hammer customer support and the mandatory ads.15 |
| Biggest gotcha | The $6.99 plan includes ads; paying more is the only way to remove them | No ad-free tier at any price; ads are part of the deal forever14 |
