Media and entertainment data science company BB Media has added interactive dashboards to its Multiscreens+ service, which analyses prices, plans, commercial alliances, offers, devices and functionalities of all streaming platforms.

The updates service allows clients to gain access to the new online dashboards offering an improved user experience, to access information in a more practical and simple way, including special alerts for prioritised platforms.

Multiscreens+ covers more than 2,400 streaming services across 148 countries, with permanent, automated monitoring, and data on business models, prices, currencies, offers, plans, bundles, devices and more.

According to BB’s data, 60 percent of streaming platforms have just one business model, and 70 percent have more than just one plan.

Moreover, more than 1,500 have at least one SVOD plan, with free and advertising VOD second at more than 800 platforms with at least one plan that is free for the users.

“Amazon Prime Video is the platform with more plans at a global level, having 105 just in the United States, plus 84 in Germany and 79 in Austria, leading by itself the top three,” BB said in a statement. “When it comes to the plan duration, the monthly plans are the most offered by the streaming platform followed by the annual plans. Prime Video also provides students plans, which can be monthly or yearly. Regarding the additional channels that can be added to Amazon Prime Video, MGM, STARZPLAY and Noggin are the ones that are available in most countries.”

When reviewing the streaming platforms that provide the most annual plans in the world, Crunchyroll stands out with 98 countries. Erosnow follows closely with 89, and Mubi comes in third with 63.

Of these streaming services, more than 44 percent have at least one active offer that can either be a weekly free trial (46 percent), a monthly free trial (24 percent) or another type of offer (30 percent).

Interestingly, only 11.85 percent of the monitored platforms provide a promotional price, while just 2.34 percent present a percentage discount.
