Netflix has the most compatibility: You can watch via your PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Internet-ready TV, Roku, Android, Blu-ray player, Nook or other e-reader tablet, and iOS devices. Hulu Plus comes in at a close second, offering compatibility and support for many of the same devices that Netflix does.

Hulu does give you the option to use it with a free account. However, doing so limits the amount of content that you can access on Hulu. For example, for some TV shows, you will only be able to watch the first five episodes, instead of the entire season. In addition, some movies or programs may not be available at all.

Last time I did the math, few months back, video ads cost ~ $20 CPM (i.e. cost of showing one ad to 1000 users). For premium shows, people say as much as $60 CPM per video ad. For interactive ads, my guess (would be great if others can validate it) is anywhere from $40-$60, i.e. 2 or 3x higher CPM. Many news & blog posts have mentioned this number.

Customers have the choice of two plans. The first plan costs $7.99 per month and includes “limited commercials”. The other option costs subscribers $11.99 per month and provides users with an “ad-free” experience. I’ve put “ad-free” in quotes as there are some shows that air commercials before and after the show. Otherwise, the show streams uninterrupted.

On its website, the company touts that its ads are still fewer than broadcast TV.. Hulu's plan that offers no commercials costs $11.99. When you sign up on an iOS device, or iPad and iPhone, and pay for your Hulu subscription with your iTunes account, there's an extra cost due to transaction costs with Apple. That comes to $13.99 a month.

Hulu Plus also costs about $8 per month; however, Hulu offers a free version with a limited selection and fewer episodes of shows. Amazon Prime charges $99 per year for a membership (which equals $8.25 per month), making it very similar to the above options in terms of price.

There are two subscriptions services on Hulu that cost money: Hulu Plus, and the Showtime Premium Add-On. A subscription to Hulu Plus costs $7.99 per month. Subscribing to Hulu Plus unlocks additional content on Hulu, such as full seasons of television shows and exclusive Hulu programs that you won't find anywhere else.
