Among Netflix's prominent competitors in the United States, such as HBO Max and Hulu, Netflix is the only one that does not offer a discounted track that contains commercials.
HBO Max for example offers a $ 10 subscription per month that includes commercials, compared to $ 15 without commercials, and hulu operates in a similar structure.
