Disney+ Vs Netflix: The arrival of Disney + to the market is a huge competitor for Netflix. Discover what each one has to offer to know which one suits you.
Disney+ Vs Netflix: We compare the two streaming services
The video streaming market has been growing at a good pace for years. So far, there is a platform that has managed to take the position of the most popular, which is Netflix. Although this 2019 important competitors arrive , such as Apple TV + or the most recent Disney +. The entertainment giant launches its own platform to the market, ready to stand up to its rivals.
Disney + can be tested in the Netherlands , we had the possibility and we already told you everything . Now, we submit this new platform to a comparison with Netflix to see if we really face a tall opponent or if Netflix remains the queen in the market.
Content Catalog
One of the most important aspects in this type of case is the catalog of contents that are available in each of them. It is something decisive when making an account: knowing what is available, in addition to what we can expect, are aspects that can make us decide on one or the other.
Netflix
Netflix has always stood out for the huge catalog of series, movies and documentaries that are available to us. A very broad catalog, which few platforms in the market can match today. The firm has significantly increased its production of series and films with options of interest in all genres.
Netflix offers us a lot of our own content , both in series, movies and documentaries. These contents will always be available in the well-known application. In addition to those, every month there are new releases of series and films from other studios, although these contents are usually available in many cases for a limited time, which is usually several months.
The quality is very varied: from cult content to movies and series to simply entertain
The varied Netflix catalog is one of its great weapons. Of course, we must keep something in mind: the catalog will drop all Disney content . Netflix currently has numerous licenses (Marvel, Star Wars, Disney animation), but all this content will disappear as the current broadcasting contracts expire
Disney +
Disney + is a platform that has just reached the market, although it lands with a fairly complete catalog ready to stand up to giants like Netflix. In this case, there are two sagas that attract users: Star Wars and the Marvel Universe. These contents are already available on this platform of the American firm.
Disney + offers users the classic films of the factory (The Lion King, Bambi, Toy Story, etc.), in addition to Pixar movies, Disney Channel series, the remakes of many of these films (versions with real actors of films such as Cinderella or Snow White, for example), documentaries and other series for the little ones.
A very large catalog , especially for fans of films and series of the factory, in addition to the two popular Marvel and Star Wars sagas. It is especially these two sagas that promise to attract many users since, in addition, new related content is being developed.
The catalog will increase over time, as already confirmed. We can expect new series, which in many cases will be exclusive to Disney +. Movies like the remake of The Lion King or Avengers: Endgame will also end up launching on the platform, which will help generate more interest towards it.
On the other hand, it is still speculating that Hulu may also be part of Disney +, which would give more series options aimed at a more adult audience.
Interface
Another aspect that should always be considered when using applications is the interface they have . We are looking for an application that is easy to use, that allows us to quickly and easily access the contents at any time. This is a field in which the two applications meet well.
In the case of Disney +, as we already told you in its analysis, we can see that the interface is simple , with all the contents in it well organized in categories: we can easily find what we are looking for. In addition, in the application itself there is a search engine with which to find a specific content that we want to find, whether it is a series or movie, so that we can directly access it.
Netflix, like Disney +, leaves us with an interface that is easy to use . The platform has all its contents well divided into categories, which allows you to find in a few seconds the series or movie you want to see in it.
In addition, in the case of this platform we can also access the hidden categories, which allows to have all the contents better divided for a better selection and classification of them.

Netflix
One of the most important aspects is how much a subscription to streaming platforms costs . The normal thing is that we find several rates to choose from in order not to overpay for our needs.
Netflix leaves us with several plans today , whose prices have been rising for some time. In June of this year, this price increase became effective, affecting both new users and those who already have an account on the platform. Their prices are this way:
Basic Plan is priced at 7.99 euros / month.
The Standard Plan costs 11.99 euros / month.
Premium Plan will cost 15.99 euros / month.
In all cases there is the possibility to try each plan for free for 30 days . The most expensive plan allows you to view the contents in the highest quality available, Ultra HD, in addition to being able to play them on four screens at the same time; which allows that account to be used on the laptop and on the television, for example.
In addition to these plans, we must not forget that Netflix has a mobile-only plan in some markets , but we do not know if it will reach Spain.
Disney + arrives, at least in the case of the Netherlands, with a single rate: a price of 6.99 euros per month . This price allows access to the content in its highest quality, HD; and 4K for those available in this resolution.
In addition, in the same account you can create several profiles for different users of the account. A lower price than Netflix, which is certainly something that can help many bet on this platform when it launches in Spain.
Disney + leaves us with the possibility to try it for free for a month. On the occasion of its launch in the Netherlands, this test has been extended; so users can try it for free until November 12 , but only in this country.
Downloads
One aspect that we must take into account in a streaming platform is the possibility of downloading the contents to be able to view them offline. Normally it is something possible in all of them, so it is good to check if we have limitations in terms of downloads to better choose the platform or subscription plan in it.
In Disney + we can download all the contents that are available in the application, so that we can see them later without using an Internet connection. For the series, it is possible to download the episodes individually, also choosing at all times the quality we want in the downloads from the account settings.
Best of all, you can download several contents at the same time and the app will continue to work well, smoothly.
Also on Netflix it is possible to download the contents on our phone. Both the series and the movies, with tricks that also allow us to download episodes automatically on the device .
In this case, the downloads do not present problems either: you can choose the quality depending on the plan and depending on the space of the phone, also the connection we have active.
Languages
Disney + has all its contents available in its original language (usually English). It is allowed in many cases to adjust the playback language, such as Spanish or German. There are also subtitles available in various languages, such as English, Dutch, Spanish, French or German.
It is expected that with the passage of time, when Disney + lands in more markets, this list will be expanded, but for now it complies very well with the main languages.
The situation is similar in Netflix, where we can see the contents normally in their original version. The audio can be configured, so that dubbing is obtained in other languages, such as Spanish. They also provide us with subtitles, in case we want to use them, in many different languages.
As in most platforms, dubbing to more languages apart from the original depends on the importance and popularity of the content.
